Electric vehicles

What changes when the car is electric

Three things weigh differently on an EV than on a comparable gasoline car.

Weight

An EV carries its battery low and permanently, so load index matters more than on a comparable gasoline car. Do not drop below the placard rating.

Rolling resistance

Rolling resistance shows up directly as range. Factory tires prioritise it, which is why some replacements feel grippier but return fewer miles.

Noise

With no engine to mask it, tire roar is the dominant cabin noise in an EV. Comfort and noise scores deserve extra attention.

Thinking about a different size on your Leaf?

Check diameter change, ground clearance and speedometer error before you order — on an EV, a taller tire also costs you range.
