Game changing tyres for electric vehicles
WE EQUIP HALF OF ALL CAR BRANDS THAT PRODUCE EVs⁽¹⁾ AND IT'S NO COINCIDENCE
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.
ALL OUR CAR TYRES ARE SUITABLE FOR EVs
OPTIMISING TYRE PERFORMANCE FOR YOUR EV
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 AcousticTM technology, the internal noise of the vehicle can be reduced by nearly 20%.(4)

FROM PIONEERS TO THE NEW GENERATION OF EVs
Overcoming electric challenges over the years
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).
Being a pioneer in world electric motorsport
We use our know-how acquired in FIA Formula E championship (from 2014 to 2022) and FIM MotoETM to design tyres that fit EVs.
Designing tyres for the next premium e-cars
The 100% electric Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 E-Performance is fitted with tyres made from 53% renewable bio-sourced and recycled raw materials.
Have you seen the first tyre for electric buses?
MICHELIN X Incity EV Z tyre: a range that combines safety, longevity, respect for the environment and increased charging capacity.
With this new range, Michelin is supporting the transition to cleaner, more efficient electric mobility solutions with greater autonomy. A key driver for a sustainable city.

(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).
