Performance Meets Comfort in the Right Tyres
Choosing the right tyres means going beyond size—you need tyres that are purpose-built for EVs. These come with reinforced sidewalls to handle instant torque, and low rolling resistance compounds that preserve your range without sacrificing grip.
For Australian conditions, look for tyres rated for both dry and wet traction. With unpredictable rain and long-distance heat exposure, a quality tread pattern can make a real difference in braking distance and cornering control.
If you go for the 20-inch wheels, be aware they'll ride firmer—so choose W- or Y-rated EV tyres with noise-reducing foam, extra load capacity, and strong wet weather performance. Brands like Michelin, Pirelli, and Bridgestone all offer EV-specific models tailored for these needs.
Also—don't skip the rotation every 10,000 km. EVs wear tyres faster due to their torque-heavy nature, and with AWD and rear-drive variants, even tread wear is key to keeping range and handling consistent. A small investment in tyre maintenance saves money in the long haul.
