Yes, watched that with interest. Didn't find any tyres with a "EV" label for my 215/50 R19s, some marked Eco as the factory fit Bridgestone Turanzas are. Michelin e-Primacy and Goodyear EfficientGrip review well, not marked "EV" but they mention being suitable for EVs and have low rolling resistance, low noise characteristics. Will watch to see how the EV labelling expands as it seems to be in relatively few sizes at the moment.

We have these and they seem to be fine. One benefit of taking the Tour was that it came with low rolling resistance tyres.

All the best

I noticed on our Life Bridgestones, there is a marking on the tyre wall that says something like “outside”. Would these tyres be single directional (if that’s the right term)?
