Goodyear ElectricDrive Asymmetric 6

4 sizes, 235/55 R19 to 255/45 R20

Acoustic foam liner

An all-season tyre for electric cars, which is a sensible default in a climate that rarely makes a full winter tyre worth the second set of wheels. Good fit for an EV that is the household's only car and never sees a garage in October.

A all season tread, drawn as a category. This is what this kind of tyre is laid out to do, not a picture of this one's own pattern.

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

All-season is the compromise that suits a great many electric cars in Britain and in the milder American states: one set of tyres, no seasonal changeover, and a compound that keeps working below seven degrees where a summer tyre hardens off. The cost is a little rolling resistance against a dedicated efficiency tyre. It is sold as ElectricDrive 2 in North America and as ElectricDrive Asymmetric 6 here, which is the same tyre under two names and a reliable way to get confused reading American reviews.
