Chevrolet Bolt EUV tires
The Chevrolet Bolt EUV runs one fitment, 215/50 R17 91H. A standard load 91 rating is modest for an electric car and says something about where this one's curb weight sits. The Chevrolet Bolt takes the same size.
Every fitment
| Generation | Trim | Wheel | Tire size | Load index | Speed | Construction | Marking | Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 to 2023 | LT and Premier | 17in | 215/50 R17 | 91 | H | SL | TPC | 38 psi |
Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the driver's door jamb. 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 tire.
What changes on this car
General Motors marks its original equipment tires with a TPC code and a specification number, which is the American equivalent of the European maker markings and is just as easy to miss.
215/50 R17 is well supplied on both sides of the Atlantic, so this is a cheap car to replace tires on relative to almost anything else electric.
91H is a modest rating by electric car standards and it reflects a curb weight closer to a gasoline hatchback than to anything else in this lane. It also means almost everything in the size clears the bar, so this is a cheap car to re-shoe.
Which one to buy
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.
If range is what you care about
Graded A for rolling resistance, the best of anything here, and that is the figure that shows on the range display. Graded B for wet grip. EPREL registration 914991.

Where these figures come from
- Michelin's own vehicle fitment tool, michelinman.com/auto/browse-tires/by-vehicle (2023 Bolt EUV Premier, 215/50R17 91H)
- Goodyear's vehicle fitment listing for the 2023 Bolt EUV LT and Premier, 215/50R17
From more than one tire maker's fitment data, independently. Neither is standing next to your vehicle, which is why the placard still wins.

Common questions
- What size tires does the Chevrolet Bolt EUV take?
- It runs 215/50 R17. The exact fitment for your car is on Driver's door jamb.
- Can I fit a cheaper tire to a Chevrolet Bolt EUV?
- Only at 215/50 R17 91H or better. That is the figure to hold: a tire below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
- What pressure should a Chevrolet Bolt EUV run?
- 38 psi cold on the fitment above, from the placard. Check it monthly and check it cold, because a warm tire reads high and an underinflated one costs range every mile you drive.
- Do I need the TPC marking?
- Not legally. The TPC version can carry a different compound or an acoustic foam liner that the same tread pattern in the shops does not, so if the car is quiet now and you fit the unmarked version, expect to notice.
