How Do I Choose the Right Tires for an Electric Vehicle?

When choosing tires for an electric vehicle (EV), start with the vehicle manufacturer's specified tire size, load index and speed rating. Then consider key EV performance requirements including load capacity, rolling resistance, wet and dry grip, durability, noise comfort and handling. The right EV tire should balance efficiency, safety and performance rather than optimise any single characteristic.
