Passenger Car Summer Electric Vehicle Tires

I bought these last summer for my Chevy Bolt. They are fun to drive in both dry and wet conditions. They are quiet. And handle and brake well in the rain. I replaced them for the winter, so I can't speak to their winter/snow performance. I like them very much. And while I haven't measured mi/kWh, I do feel that they are very efficient.

The Continental PremiumContact-C came as the factory-fitted standard tires on my 2023 MG4 Excite 64. I would not recommend them.<br />
After only 27,000 km, both rear tires are already down to 3 mm, which is very poor wear. Comfort and noise level is acceptable on dry roads, but wet-weather performance is very bad, handling is poor and the car feels unstable and prone to skidding on wet road.<br />
<br />
Overall, not suitable for an electric vehicle with instant torque, and I won’t be buying these again.

I drove it with my ev for 7000 km, the grip in dry is great, but in ice has almost no grip :) <br />
I dont like it because the road feedback is alot on this. I dont have experience with other tires of this car, maybe the problem is the car (Mazda 6e). <br />
It looks good and lasts moderately

the worst tire i've ever had in wet conditions, slips like i'm driving on a soapy surface

Average comfort and noise levels with good handling performance for a PHEV car.

Came as delivered on a 25 plate Hyundai Kona 65kWh N Line EV. NW England.<br />
Was warned by the sales team at dealership they were awful. Thought "How bad can they be?" Very bad is the answer. Terrible tires; given 3k miles to convince myself otherwise but no good. <br />
Struggle in the wet to grip; aquaplaning on wet motorway lethal. <br />
Cornering on wet country lanes dicey. <br />
In the dry in Sport mode can't put the power down pulling onto M6. <br />
Noisy and skittish on bumps and potholes.<br />
They are probably good for stopping a barge hitting the canal bank. No place on a powerful car. Removed in favour of Hankook 4 seasons; instant transformation.

I've had these tires on my car from new and they are now hitting 40,000 miles and still going strong. Excellent wear and longevity - still have another 5-6000 life in them but will be swapping out for Crossclimate 3 Sport this winter as driving to the Alps otherwise would have happily bought the same tires again. Plenty of grip and responsive handling for daily driving and some spirited B roads. Never aquaplaned even in inches deep standing water. Does understeer very slightly if aggressive turn in on wet roads but quick to regain control. Main negative is the minimal comfort as the road imperfections are directly transmitted to the cabin (although that may well be the car's suspension design) and they are not very quiet unless on perfect tarmac.

There are mixed thoughts it seems with the Michelin Pilot Sport EV tire.<br />
<br />
These tires were the OEM choice on my Cupra Born V3 58kw, and I am still on the original fronts at 30k miles albeit they now need changing due to the side tread disappearing.<br />
I'm not a hooligan with a heavy right foot nor a "Miss Daisy" type of driver, but generally drive with a mixed variety of spirited and casual driving style.<br />
I haven't experienced any moments of loss of grip or felt they aren't up to the job in either wet or dry conditions, but then I guess you adapt to the road conditions as and when some caution is needed, so never pushed them in unfavourable conditions to find out how far they can perform.<br />
<br />
The road noise is not as quiet as I would expect considering they have an acoustic membrane inside when comparing with other standard tires, but then I haven't tried a non EV rated tire on the car to truly compare the difference.<br />
<br />
The original rears lasted around 17k miles before changing, and were still inside the legal limit too, so probably could have got 20k out of them.<br />
<br />
The range isn't great with these tires, but then they have a larger footprint compared with the other Cupra OEM offerings with 18" and 19" wheels that have a much better range.<br />
<br />
So, my experience with the Pilot Sport EV are fairly positive and would consider buying again.

My car is a Luxeed R7, weighing 2.3 tons and with 17,000 kilometers on it. It's rear-wheel drive and has a horsepower of just over 300. At that power, it tends to slip in corners. Its grip is the worst of any Michelin tire I've ever used. My biggest complaint about this tire is its wet grip, which is extremely poor and lacks any confidence. Comfort and quietness are decent, though. But considering it costs only 2,000 RMB, while a Continental SC6 only costs 1,800 RMB and a Pirelli PZero E only 1,200 RMB, the Michelin PSEV offers a very poor value for money. I won't consider it again for my next tire change.

I installed the same tire model and size on both my BMW X3 and a NIO-produced electric vehicle. On dry epoxy flooring and concrete surfaces, these tires frequently experience tire skipping/slipping during foggy conditions or when reversing. I wouldn't have chosen these tires either - I deeply regret purchasing two sets for both my vehicles. They require significantly lower tire pressure to maintain adequate grip, and perform worse than the outdated Eagle F1 SUV tires that came standard on my X3. However, they are exceptionally energy-efficient - my onvo L60 achieves the same energy consumption as a Model Y.
