Polestar 2 (2025): Swedish Precision, Electric Power

The Polestar 2 is a minimalist powerhouse—born from Volvo's performance DNA and fine-tuned for electric innovation. With sharp lines, clean design, and a driver-focused interior, this premium EV fastback brings a European feel to Australia's growing EV market.

Polestar 2 offers multiple configurations (single or dual motor), with a WLTP range of up to 610 km in the Long Range Single Motor variant. Whether you're driving around Sydney or heading down the coast, this EV delivers a responsive, confident ride with luxury-class quietness and precision engineering that turns everyday driving into a refined experience.

It's the kind of car that doesn't scream for attention—but gets it anyway.

Tyres That Come with the Polestar 2 (Australia)

Depending on the variant, Australian models are fitted with:

Standard fitment: 245/45 R19 102Y
Optional upgrade: 245/40 R20 99Y

The 19-inch setup is designed for balance—comfortable, quiet, and efficient. Meanwhile, the 20-inch wheels offer tighter road grip and more aggressive styling. Both options are fitted with Y-speed ratings suitable for performance driving.

Load ratings (99-102) support 775-850 kg per tyre, which is ideal for the Polestar 2's battery and motor configuration.

Choosing the Best Tyres for a Polestar 2

If you're investing in a Polestar 2, don't skimp on rubber. This EV performs best with premium EV-specific tyres engineered for noise reduction, wet grip, and range optimization.

Look for models with:

Silica-rich compounds for better wet weather handling (crucial for Aussie storms)
Foam-injected tread to reduce cabin noise (especially on highway drives)
Reinforced sidewalls to counteract added EV weight and torque
Low rolling resistance to help preserve range on long drives

Also, if you're running the 20s, expect a firmer ride. To compensate, go with tyres that feature acoustic dampening and multi-layer tread designs to smooth out road harshness.

Regular rotation every 10,000 km, proper tyre pressure monitoring, and seasonal inspection for uneven wear are all key to preserving that signature Polestar ride. In fact, staying ahead of your tyre maintenance can extend tyre life by 15-20%—which means fewer headaches and more cash saved.

Final Word

Polestar 2 blends clean Scandinavian design with powerful EV performance. Match it with the right tyres, and it drives like it was meant to—smooth, planted, and smart.

Investing in tyres tailored to Australian conditions not only enhances safety and comfort but also helps you get the most out of the Polestar 2's impressive range and performance. With proper maintenance and the right rubber, this EV fastback delivers a refined, confident drive that stands out in the premium electric segment.
