- There’s a lot of talk and information about EV tires. Some of it’s good. Some of it’s wrong. Most of it is somewhere in between. In this video we try to cut through the opinions, hype, and propaganda to provide real, testing-based answers to some of the tough questions surrounding EVs and the tires they use.

Outstanding video from a super company! I have used the research function that TireRack provides free on line to us all in choosing many of my replacement tires - including direct tire purchase from TireRack. While truly every sentence in this video was not a surprise, the compendium of all of them in one video has resulted in one of the top educational videos I have ever seen. I used TR when choosing tires for my current BEV and my plug in hybrid before that. I look forward to future TR videos regarding electric vehicles. GREAT JOB TireRack!
Interesting video. What would be useful is to have a rating on each tire model on the market for rolling resistance / efficiency. Unfortunately, it's very hard to find objective data on that. I'd like to see that attribute added to your tire rating charts, your Tire decision guide and to your test result charts.
Hello, David. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. Your input is valuable to us as we strive to improve our customer experience, and we will be sharing your recommendation with our tire testing team.
Great video!! Glad to hear you added Tesla Model 3's to your test fleet and looking forward to all the testing and data we will see coming! Looking forward to well tested efficency data!
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Thank you for your kind words and support.
This was awesome, well produced, and very informational for the masses. I'll be researching on Tire Rack due to this video. Thanks!
Excellent content answering key questions with data-driven analysis. 👍
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the video.
Your videos always make me learn a lot👍👍
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the video!
Great video. Another thing that contributes to perceived range loss is the difference in circumference of the old warn out tire and the new one. My old Energy AS tires were 491" in circumference, and my new CC2s were 511" a full 4% more distance per revolution. While that doesn't affect the actual range, it does affect reported range and efficiency.
We are happy to hear you enjoyed the video.
Good point. I was surprised that this was not pointed out in the video. And the range loss varies by tire; for example the Kuhmo HP71 starts out new with only 9.3/32 " of tread depth. Many other tires have 11/32 " of tread when new.
Videos of OE wheels vs light weight wheels. Range ? Y
Would love to see some testing around AT tires for off-road focused EV trucks like the Rivian R1T, both P-metric and LT for stronger sidewalls. Currently hoping the upcoming Toyo AT III EV is going to perform well.
Hankook ion ev tires please
Thank you for your feedback. We will share this with our purchasing team.
Great info. Consumers should be better informed about rolling resistance. In Europe, governments have required tire manufacturers to post rolling resistances for each tire, by brand, model and size. In the USA manufacturers want to keep consumers ignorant of RR; just buy what we want to sell you and stfu.
What wheels are on those model 3s?
Great Info. Thanks for the video
I had four blowouts in the first 15,000 miles on my ionic 5. Every single time, it was a sidewall failure. And these michelin's. Any thoughts?
Have you tested going to a narrow rim? I have a Model Y and the rims stick out past the rubber. So you curb them just going through a carwash with guide rails. I am buying winter tires with rims and I am thinking about going to 8.5" rims.
Jason from Engineering Explained had a similar situation on his Model 3, and fixed it by going to a different wheel size. This also had several other benefits. On RUclips search: Engineering Explained, how to prevent expensive Tesla wheel damage. Also check out: EE, why big wheels are a bad idea on electric cars.
@@omelborpon3159 I dropped to an 8.5" this week. They look great and just that inch makes a big difference (that's what she said). Not sure how range will be affected. Also weight went from 32lbs with the stock time to 21.9 lbs.
Really awesome video. Would you have any recommendation for decent winter tires for Tesla Model Y RWD?
We'd be happy to provide a recommendation! Will you please share your vehicle's year and current tire size?
Thank you, that’s so cool. I really appreciate it.
It’s my first ev and I’m not sure what to choose for winter season.

Thank you for providing your vehicle's information. We would like to clarify: do you want dedicated winter tires or all-season tires equipped to handle winter conditions? If you want a dedicated winter tire, are you looking for a winter tire and wheel package or just winter tires?
Thanks for getting back to me. I just want to put the winter tires. I'm just not sure which are the best or at least reasonably good for Tesla Model Y. @@tirerack
Pls compare 225 50 17 vs 225 45 17 on the race track.
Let's see how the side wall makes huge difference
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We will share your feedback with our tire testing team.
I've heard that tires need to be rotated every 10,000 miles on many evs. 7,500 miles on the Tesla cybertruck.
Is this true?
No.
Good info!
Thank you!
The link to rirerack doesnt work,
It sais that the page is not available
We are sorry to hear that! We just tested the link on our end and it seems to be working. Are you located outside of the US?
@@tirerack does it only work in US
More EV tire videos, please
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the video! We appreciate your feedback and are excited to share more content about EV tires in the future. Stay tuned for more updates!
How about a review on the Hankook ion EV tire? or maybe you have done that?@@tirerack
@@tirerack We definitely need more videos on EV tires. I just purchased a set of CrossClimate2 from TireRack. I'm sitting at Firestone right having them installed. Now I'm hoping all goes well. The gentleman from TireRack seemed confident I'd be happy with them on my Tesla Model 3 Long Range.
EV vehicles tires are load rated due to tbe extra weight from the heavier EV batteries.
Can someone summarize this video in a few sentences please
Theres no way around it;
the tires for EVs demand more of your money than what is necessary for an ICE vehicle.
Agreed. With tesla OEM tires lasting 2-4 years (depending on how much we drive) the average fuel savings over 5 years essentially pays for 3 to 4 new sets of tires. It’s easily justified.
What about EV tires on a ICE car?
No no you do not
