EV-Ready Tyres
Make the switch to Bridgestone EV-ready tyres
Electric vehicles are revolutionising transport. Whether you’re an EV driver already or considering the switch, it makes sense to understand the importance of selecting the right tyres for your electric vehicle. Bridgestone knows what it takes to create EV-ready tyres that optimise performance, efficiency, and safety, so consider this your easy-to-read guide to choosing the right tyres for your EV.
Why choose EV-ready tyres?
EV-ready tyres differ from tyres designed for traditional combustion engine vehicles because of the unique challenges presented by electric vehicles. Heavy battery packs and increased torque affect tyre durability, making an EV-ready tyre an important part of a good EV driving experience. The significantly quieter cabin of an EV, compared to a combustion engine equivalent vehicle, means that reducing tyre noise is more important than ever.
3 features of a Bridgestone EV-ready tyre
Longer Wear Life
Because the additional weight and torque of an EV impacts tyre wear, Bridgestone uses a combination of pattern design, innovation in tyre compound and construction to improve the wear life of our EV-ready tyre range.
Quieter Comfort
Without a traditional combustion engine, EVs are quieter on the road. This makes tyre noise a relatively high contributor to cabin noise and explains why Bridgestone designs every one of its EV-ready tyres using technology to make them quieter.
Improved Efficiency
To maximise the range of your electric vehicle, Bridgestone makes its EV-ready tyres as energy efficient as possible, with lowering rolling resistance and minimising energy use top of mind.

Frequently asked questions
-
How are Bridgestone EV-ready tyres different from regular car tyres?EV-ready tyres have extra load requirements due to the weight and torque of electric vehicles. Bridgestone EV-ready tyres feature lower rolling resistance for improved efficiency and range, and noise reduction technology for a quieter, more comfortable ride.
-
Can I use regular Bridgestone tyres on my electric vehicle?
Bridgestone recommends choosing an EV-ready tyre for your electric vehicle. EV-ready tyres are engineered for lower rolling resistance to optimise range, extra load capability to handle the weight of the vehicle and lower noise to optimise comfort.
If you want to use a regular Bridgestone tyre that isn’t EV-ready, at the time of publishing, there is no roadworthy requirement to have an EV-ready tyre. There may be tyres that are suitable to use, however, as these have not been designed with EV usage in mind, there may be compromises in durability, range and noise that will need to be considered.
-
Can Bridgestone EV-ready tyres be used on non-EVs?
Bridgestone EV-ready tyres are also compatible with combustion engine vehicles. The extra load carrying capacity means that they will equal or exceed the requirement for your vehicle, the noise reduction technology will also help to reduce tyre noise on your vehicle and the rolling resistance reduction will also help to improve the fuel economy of a combustion engine vehicle.
