Tires in 215/60 R17
Ordering is by the registered label figure, not by anything we think of them.
Continental's efficiency summer tire in the sizes heavy electric cars actually use, available in some fitments with the ContiSilent foam liner.
A touring summer tire built with Bridgestone's Enliten construction, which cuts weight and rolling resistance across the range rather than in one model.
Sumitomo's electric-car range at a price well below the flagships, with the load ratings heavy battery cars actually need.
Graded A for fuel efficiency in several of the sizes heavy electric cars use, which is a harder result on a two ton car than it looks.
Graded A for wet grip in the large sizes electric SUVs run, which is the grade worth paying for.
What the size means
Electric cars and vans that use it
Check your own placard before you buy. A size that fits the rim is not the same as a tire rated for your vehicle, and the load index is what decides that rather than the price.
