look at the lowest loading index shown above: 100 loading, which can support 800kg. 4 tyres together support 3,200kg.<br>A Tesla Model Y has a weight of around 2,088kg. Assuming 5 adults weight 120kg on the vehicle with 2 luggages (32kg) on it. (A total of 2,752 kg weight) 100 loading index has more than enough to support the weight of a full load Tesla Model Y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, EV tire loading and normal tire loading are good enough to support the weight of a electric vehicle. Furthermore, modern petrol vehicles sometimes are even heavier than electric vehicles. Look at Tesla Model Y weight vs Toyota Vellfire weight above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ii. EV tire is quieter than normal tire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>EV tire not necessarily come with acoustic cotton. Acoustic cotton can reduce noise level but it is an add on products.

Electric Vehicle can drive longer distance with EV tire than a normal tire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>EV tire is labeled as low rolling resistance. Drivers who owned EV tire feedback the vehicle electric efficiency is longer compared to a normal ultra high performance tire. However, no one has proven that EV tire provides longer range than a normal tire. Afterall, all normal touring tires states that they have low rolling resistance, just like EV tire shows it is.<br><br>A customer of Tesla Model Y with 225\/45 R19 tried out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/falken\/FK510.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Falken FK510<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/westlake\/superide1ev.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Westlake Superide 1 EV Pro (EV tire)<\/a>.

This is exactly the same as petrol vehicle. The higher traction a tire can provide, the higher fuel consuming <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, you normally find Electric Vehicle Tyre (PS EV, T005 EV etc) EU Tyre Label will have fuel efficiency as rank A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/T005-description-1024x482.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/T005-description-1024x482.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/T005-description-300x141.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/T005-description-768x361.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/T005-description.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a difference between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/bridgestone\/t005.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">T005<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/bridgestone\/t005ev.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">T005 EV<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">iv.
