Product description & features

The Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyre has been created to enhance performance for electric vehicles with some unique specifications. Unlike traditional vehicles, electric vehicles have instantaneous torque which makes acceleration much quicker. Combined with their heavier weight, this results in a very different driving experience, leading to potentially high levels of cabin noise. As traditional tyres struggle to keep up with EVs during rapid acceleration, Chef Michelin's solution was to include an innovative material - ElectricGrip Compound - in the centre tread of the tyre. Michelin's asymmetric tread and channel grooves help provide rigidity while cornering and rapid acceleration, as well as assist in tyre drainage. Shoulders of the tyre are made with Michelin's Green Power Compound, helping to minimise the loss of energy while the tyre rolls.

The Michelin Pilot Sport EV also minimises cabin noise thanks to Michelin's Acoustic Technology which uses a foam layer in the casing. Depending on the model, the tyre also comes with a reinforced construction for larger Electric Vehicles. Tyres.co.uk stock the Michelin Pilot Sport EV Acoustic version as well.

Highlights

  • ElectricGrip Compound centre tread
  • Asymmetric tread with channel grooves
  • Foam layer for lower cabin noise

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport EV 265/35R21 101Y XL
Big improvement over my previous tyres. Road noise is a huge difference, almost silent at speed. Confidence inspiring wet weather performance and great on twisty roads. I've recommended them to a bunch of friends already. Michelin makes a great tyre and these are worth every penny!

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport EV 265/35R21 101Y XL
Overall, very good. I'm giving four stars because the delivery took a while. Other than that, the grip on these is quite good and comfort while riding has improved a lot.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport EV 265/35R21 101Y XL
These tyres are wonderful for my electric car. There is virtually no noise from road and they are bliss to ride in. They have definitely improved my ability to handle the car on tight turns and they respond well in wet conditions.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport EV 265/35R21 101Y XL
Overall, I am very impressed with these tyres. They provide excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions and feedback is equally as good. Stability when cornering is excellent and has definitely been a good investment for my car. I'd buy these again without thinking twice.
