Game changing tyres for electric vehicles
WE EQUIP HALF OF ALL CAR BRANDS THAT PRODUCE EVs(1) AND IT'S NO COINCIDENCE
Our engineers work closely with leading electric vehicles manufacturers such as Porsche, Mercedes-AMG, BMW, Volkswagen, Ford, Hyundai, ... to design tyres with performance that matter to EV owners and make electric mobility more enjoyable.
ALL OUR CAR TYRES ARE SUITABLE FOR EVs
Because of their battery, electric vehicles are heavier than their internal combustion counterparts, and yet boast faster initial acceleration. This specificity coupled with high torque, a quieter engine and the constant quest for greater battery range, all contribute to making EVs particularly demanding on tyres.
OPTIMISING TYRE PERFORMANCE FOR YOUR EV
Fitting your EV with the right tyres ensures you get an optimal performance in terms of range, longevity (mileage), silence in the cab and safety(2), all while making the most of your driving experience.
Go further between every charge
To maximise battery range, EVs need low rolling resistance tyres. Since 1992 starting with the MICHELIN Energy tyre, we have halved the rolling resistance of our car tyres.(3) Today, we offer tyres, like MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV, that extend range by up to 60km thanks to low rolling resistance.
Go the distance on your set of tyres
EVs need tyres with increased longevity. High torque and battery weight impact the wear of tyres. In 1946, we developed MICHELIN X, the first radial tyre, which significantly increased the durability of our tyres (by 2 to 3 times).
Since then, we have continued to offer long-lasting tyres.
Enjoy a quieter drive
Internal noise caused by the tyres is a major concern with noiseless engines. Thanks to MICHELIN AcousticTM technology, the internal noise of the vehicle can be reduced by nearly 20%.(4)
BE READY FOR ELECTRIC MOBILITY WITH OUR TIPS & ADVICE
INTRODUCING MICHELIN PILOT SPORT EV TYRE
The MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV tyre is inspired by the heritage of the FIA Formula E championship, from 2014 to 2022.
MICHELIN e.PRIMACY tyre
MICHELIN e.PRIMACY tyre is designed to reduce the energy consumption(5) of passenger cars. It is chosen by car makers to equip their electric, hybrid or low fuel consumption vehicles.
Electric Scooter tyres
MICHELIN City Grip Saver tyre is specially developed for electric scooters. It increases battery range thanks to low rolling resistance(6) while maintaining the renowned longevity of the MICHELIN City Grip range!
E-Bike tyres
MICHELIN e-WILD tyres are designed to optimise battery life, tyre longevity and power transmission. Do you know that 70% of our tyres are compatible with electric bicycles?
FROM PIONEERS TO THE NEW GENERATION OF EVs
For more than 100 years, we design innovative mobility solutions that answer drivers' expectations, while minimising their environmental impact.
Overcoming electric challenges over the years
In 1899, Michelin developed the tyres for “La Jamais Contente”, the first electric vehicle to exceed 100 km/h.
Designing long-lasting and energy savings tyres
First with the revolutionary architecture of the MICHELIN X radial tyre in 1946, then with the MICHELIN ENERGY tyre in 1992 introducing silica into the mix, we significantly increased the longevity and improved energy savings of the tyres(7).
Being a pioneer in world electric motorsport
We use our know-how acquired in FIA Formula E championship (from 2014 to 2022) and FIM MotoETM to design tyres that fit EVs.
Designing tyres for the next premium e-cars
The 100% electric Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 E-Performance is fitted with tyres made from 53% renewable bio-sourced and recycled raw materials.
Have you seen the first tyre for electric buses?
MICHELIN X Incity EV Z tyre: a range that combines safety, longevity, respect for the environment and increased charging capacity.
With this new range, Michelin is supporting the transition to cleaner, more efficient electric mobility solutions with greater autonomy. A key driver for a sustainable city.
