How the electrification of SUVs is being reflected in the tyre market

,

In recent years, the SUV tyre market has evolved significantly, reflecting growing consumer demand for versatility, performance, and sustainability across diverse driving conditions. Professionals in the automotive and tyre industries can’t miss the surge in popularity of all-season and all-terrain tyres, such as the highly praised Michelin CrossClimate 2 (which was, of course, WhatTyre’s all-season SUV Tyre of the Year 2023). Larger tyre sizes, like 19-inch variants, are also trending, offering improved handling and stability, while the rise of electric SUVs has fuelled demand for low-rolling-resistance tyres—often paired with noise-reducing technologies—to maximize battery range and enhance cabin comfort. Staying competitive in this dynamic market requires a keen understanding of these intersecting trends, which is why the April edition of Tyres & Accessories pays particular attention to the SUV tyre segment.

Goodyear wins, comes last in SUV tyre test

SUVs and 4x4s are popular in the UK, and even though most spend their entire lives on sealed roads, a sizeable number of drivers demand tyres that will see them good should they ever encounter gravel, sand or grass. Auto Bild Allrad has compared ten SUV tyres in size 255/55 R18. Nine brands in total, with Goodyear represented twice – although it probably thinks once would have been enough.
