EV Tire Tips for Volkswagen
- Higher tire pressure — EVs are heavier due to batteries. Check door sticker for exact PSI.
- Low rolling resistance — OEM EV tires optimize range. Aftermarket may reduce range 5-10%.
- Quiet tires recommended — No engine noise means tire noise is more noticeable.
- Load rating matters — Ensure replacement tires match or exceed OEM load index (99).
