The SEAL U DM-i Boost, original equipment, is the worst tire I've ever had. It's noisy, squeals even when cornering on the highway, and is dangerous on wet roads; the front end loses traction easily. Don't buy it, especially on an electric vehicle (considering the price, it's a big mistake to buy this tire). I'm going to look at HANKOOK, YOKOHAMA, GT-RADIAL, or SEALUN, which will be much better suited to this vehicle and offer a far better performance-to-price ratio than this (so-called) Continental Premium C.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Original tire on BYD SEAL U DM-i (235 50 R19 99V)
Tires that often sing on dry roads
And which slip at every opportunity on slightly damp floors
Selling them for €210 is an unbelievable scam
A real horror, I can't wait to replace them, given the Specs I think I'll go for the GT-RADIAL SportActive2 or Michelin Latitude Sport if not available.
Good luck to the people who own these tires

Average comfort and noise levels with good handling performance for a PHEV car.
BYD Seal U DM-i original tire. Terrible on wet surfaces, very slippery.
