Braking Comparison
+Where This Tyre Sits
Based on EU Wet Grip + UTQG Traction ratings only. Other factors like tread compound, tyre age, and vehicle weight also affect real-world braking.
Traction A + Wet Grip A or B
Traction A + Wet Grip C or D
Traction B + Wet Grip A or B
These tiers reflect typical performance ratings, not brand reputation alone. Premium brands like Michelin and Bridgestone consistently score highest due to advanced R&D and materials. Mid-tier brands like Hankook and Maxxis offer excellent value — some patterns match premium performance. Budget brands like Blacklion and Royalblack prioritise affordability — ratings typically fall in mid to budget range, though individual patterns may perform better.
A tyre's actual rating matters more than brand name. Always check the specific scores.
How It's Calculated
This comparison uses EU Wet Grip (A-F) and UTQG Traction (AA-C) ratings only. These are the key standardised measures of grip performance.
Stopping Distance = Reaction + Braking
Reaction = Speed × 1.5s | Braking = v² ÷ (2 × μ × g)
Real-world braking is also affected by tread depth, tyre age, temperature, road surface, and vehicle factors not captured here.

Electric Vehicle Tyre Suitability
+About Electric Vehicle Tyres
About EV Tyres
Electric vehicles often require tyres that can handle greater weight due to their heavy battery packs. They also benefit from tyres designed to withstand the increased torque and unique performance demands of EVs.
We stock both dedicated EV tyres and higher load-rated tyres that can be suitable for electric vehicles.
Important Information
Always check your vehicle's required load index before purchasing. Higher load-rated tyres (XL) offer enhanced weight capacity and durability suitable for many EVs.
If unsure about suitability for your specific EV, contact us and we'll help you find the right tyre.
Available Options (Sorted by Size Match)
Electric Vehicle Tyres
Tyres specifically designed for electric vehicles with optimised rolling resistance and noise reduction.
Higher Load-Rated Options
Higher load index tyres suitable for heavier vehicles including many EVs.
