Goodyear ElectricDrive Asymmetric 6
4 sizes, 235/55 R19 to 255/45 R20
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company · Manufacturer material, used by permission
An all-season tire for electric cars, which is a sensible default in a climate that rarely makes a full winter tire 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.
- Arolling
- Awet grip
- 69dBnoise

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