If your electric vehicle is a couple of years old, you may need new tires. What tires should you put on your EV? Are there tires made for EVs? How will it affect the range of your EV? In this video I give you the information that I found, let you know which two models of tires that I focused on, and what I bought. I also show you how tires are replaced, balanced, and aligned, in case you have never seen how it is done.

FYI, these tires are also good for vehicles that are not electric 😎.

The all-season Nokian One tires that I chose have Aramid, commonly known as Kevlar, in the sidewalls! This is one of the first all-seasons tires to include Aramid technology that is more common in winter tires.

Fun fact: Some of the tires that Tesla uses have a foam insert glued to the inside of the tire to help reduce road noise.

Below are some of the Google search results that I had, at the time of recording this video, for the two types of all-season tires I was interested in.

Some search results for Energy Efficient All-Season Tires:
• Bridgestone Ecopia
• Hankook Optimo H426
• Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max
• Toyo Versado Eco
• Yokohama Avid Ascend

Some search results for tires listed as made for EV tires:
• Michelin Primacy MXM4
• Continental EcoContact 6
• Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus
• Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II
• Michelin Energy Saver A/S
• Nokian Wetproof
• Michelin Pilot Sport EV
