The Skoda Elroq leaves the factory on 235/45 R21 and 235/50 R20 and 235/55 R19 depending on wheel size, and the 235/55 R19 101T below is the one most owners are replacing. A standard load 101 rating is modest for an electric car and says something about where this one's kerb weight sits. It is staggered: a 235 section at the front and a 255 at the back, so the two can never be swapped across axles and the rear goes first. The Audi Q4 e-tron takes the same size.
| Generation | Trim | Wheel | Tyre size | Load index | Speed | Construction | Marking | Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current | 50 (19in) | 19in | 235/55 R19 | 101 | T | SL | none | see plate |
| Current | 60, 85, 85x and RS (19in) | 19in | 235/55 R19 front, 255/50 R19 rear | 101 | T | SL | none | see plate |
| Current | 60, 85, 85x and RS (20in) | 20in | 235/50 R20 front, 255/45 R20 rear | 100 | T | SL | none | see plate |
| Current | 60, 85, 85x and RS (21in) | 21in | 235/45 R21 front, 255/40 R21 rear | 101 | V | XL | none | see plate |
Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the on the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tyre.
The entry Elroq 50 is the one version on a single size all round, 235/55 R19 101T. Every other version is staggered, with a 255 section on the rear axle whatever the wheel size.
Going to 21 inch changes more than the diameter: both axles become XL and the speed rating rises from T to V, giving 235/45 R21 101V front and 255/40 R21 102V rear. The 19 and 20 inch tyres are standard load.
Although it is a smaller car than the Enyaq, the Elroq uses the same 235 and 255 sections on 19 and 20 inch wheels rather than the narrower 215 of the ID.3.
How these were chosen. Everything here already clears this vehicle's own load index, speed rating and construction class. Each heading is a question about use rather than a ranking. The whole method.
Graded A for wet grip, and nothing else that fits is graded higher. Graded A for rolling resistance, the best of anything here, and that is the figure that shows on the range display. EPREL registration 2626877.

Measured at 70 decibels. Graded A for wet grip, and nothing else that fits is graded higher. EPREL registration 2644146.
A winter tyre, so a second set rather than a replacement for what is on the car now. Graded D for wet grip. Graded B for rolling resistance. EPREL registration 727673.

Ordering is by the registered label figure, not by anything we think of them.
Designed for electric cars from the ground up rather than adapted from a combustion tyre, and the winner of the 2025 Auto Bild EV tyre test.
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.
Continental's efficiency summer tyre in the sizes heavy electric cars actually use, available in some fitments with the ContiSilent foam liner.
Graded A for fuel efficiency in several of the sizes heavy electric cars use, which is a harder result on a two tonne car than it looks.
A studless winter tyre built for the weight and the rolling resistance demands of an electric car.
An efficiency-first summer tyre aimed squarely at range rather than at cornering.
Sumitomo's electric-car range at a price well below the flagships, with the load ratings heavy battery cars actually need.
A Korean-built summer tyre that turns up as original equipment more often than its profile suggests, graded A for fuel efficiency.
A high performance summer tyre available in the Y rated sizes that heavy, fast electric cars are specified with.
Graded A for wet grip in the large sizes electric SUVs run, which is the grade worth paying for.
A touring summer tyre built with Bridgestone's Enliten construction, which cuts weight and rolling resistance across the range rather than in one model.
A performance summer tyre built for heavy, fast electric cars, with an acoustic foam liner bonded inside the cavity.
Every figure here comes from one tyre maker's own fitment data, checked across different years or trims. That is a second look rather than a second opinion, so check the label on your door jamb before you buy.
