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 ELECTRIC CARS

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 EnergyTM 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)

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 ENERGYTM 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

Collaborating with Porsche on its fully electric 718 Cayman GT4 E-Performance, we proved that tyres containing 53% bio-sourced and recycled raw materials can still perform in exteme conditions(8).

Energy consumption means petrol for thermic  and hybrid vehicles, electricity for electric vehicles.
