Game changing tyres for electric vehicles

Find the right tyre

Auto

Our engineers work closely with leading electric vehicles manufacturers such as Porsche, Mercedes-AMG, BMW, Volkswagen, Ford, Hyundai, ... to design tyres with performance that matter to EV owners and make electric mobility more enjoyable.

Motion For Life, Michelin - EV 15s - USA

Because of their battery, electric vehicles are heavier than their internal combustion counterparts, and yet boast faster initial acceleration. This specificity coupled with high torque, a quieter engine and the constant quest for greater battery range, all contribute to making EVs particularly demanding on tyres.

Fitting your EV with the right tyres ensures you get an optimal performance in terms of range, longevity (mileage), silence in the cab and safety⁽²⁾, all while making the most of your driving experience.

Go further between every charge

To maximise battery range, EVs need low rolling resistance tyres. Since 1992 starting with the MICHELIN Energy tyre, we have halved the rolling resistance of our car tyres.⁽³⁾ Today, we offer tyres, like MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV, that extend range by up to 60km thanks to low rolling resistance.

Go the distance on your set of tyres

EVs need tyres with increased longevity. High torque and battery weight impact the wear of tyres. In 1946, we developed MICHELIN X, the first radial tyre, which significantly increased the durability of our tyres (by 2 to 3 times).Since then, we have continued to offer long-lasting tyres.

Enjoy a quieter drive

Internal noise caused by the tyres is a major concern with noiseless engines. Thanks to MICHELIN Acoustic^TM technology, the internal noise of the vehicle can be reduced by nearly 20%.⁽⁴⁾

Electric Scooter tyres

MICHELIN City Grip Saver tyre is specially developed for electric scooters. It increases battery range thanks to low rolling resistance⁽⁶⁾ while maintaining the renowned longevity of the MICHELIN City Grip range!

Discover MICHELIN City Grip Saver

For more than 100 years, we design innovative mobility solutions that answer drivers' expectations, while minimising their environmental impact.

Overcoming electric challenges over the years

In 1899, Michelin developed the tyres for “La Jamais Contente”, the first electric vehicle to exceed 100 km/h.

Designing long-lasting and energy savings tyres

First with the revolutionary architecture of the MICHELIN X radial tyre in 1946, then with the MICHELIN ENERGY tyre in 1992 introducing silica into the mix, we significantly increased the longevity and improved energy savings of the tyres⁽⁷⁾.

⁽²⁾ Results may vary according to vehicle, tyre range and size, speed and road conditions.

⁽³⁾ Rolling resistance of tyres have been divided by 2 between the MICHELIN Energy (RR>12kg/T) compared to MICHELIN e.Primacy and MICHELIN Pilot sport EV (RR <5kg/T)

⁽⁴⁾MICHELIN Acoustic Technology reduces the perceived noise level, inside the car, by nearly 20% (Internal noise measurement, done in 2020 on size 245/45 R19 on KIA Cadenza. Noise level measured on the range "170-230Hz".) Results may vary according to vehicle, tyre range and size, speed and road conditions.

⁽⁵⁾ When new, MICHELIN e.PRIMACY generates 2kg/t on average rolling resistance less than competitors equivalent in fuel consumption reduction of up to 0.21l/100km for a VW Golf 7 1.5 TSI or equivalent of gain of up to 7% in battery range for a VW e.Golf. Energy consumption means petrol for thermic and hybrid vehicles, electricity for electric vehicles.

⁽⁶⁾ very low rolling resistance thanks to new “Electric ready” silica-based materials with very low power dissipation, so your battery lasts longer than with the original MICHELIN City Grip. (Modelling of power dissipation between a 100/80 - 14 M/C 48S CITY GRIP SAVER TL and a CITY GRIP. Done at the Michelin Research Centre in France, in July 2018).
