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

235/40 R19 96(Y) in section, drawn to scale from the registered size. The sidewall height is the figure people misjudge.

There is no rolling resistance grade on a US tire. What is molded into the sidewall is UTQG: a treadwear number, a traction grade of AA, A, B or C, and a temperature grade of A, B or C.

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 tire that meets the specification matters more than a tire with the right word on the box, and some sizes are offered with the ContiSilent foam liner.
