A high performance summer tyre available in the Y rated sizes that heavy, fast electric cars are specified with. Good fit for a performance EV where the placard asks for a speed rating the efficiency ranges do not reach.

Great Britain retained Regulation (EC) 1222/2009, so the label here uses the older A to G scales. Northern Ireland follows the current EU label, which runs A to E and carries a QR code.
What it is for
Not an EV specific range, and it is on this site because a great many electric cars carry a Y speed rating on the placard and the efficiency focused ranges frequently stop at W. A tyre that meets the specification matters more than a tyre with the right word on the box, and some sizes are offered with the ContiSilent foam liner.
