Best Tires for Chevy Equinox EV

The Chevy Equinox EV uses a different platform than the gasoline Equinox, with different tire sizes and EV-specific requirements. At 3,600–4,100 lbs, the Equinox EV needs tires that handle the heavier-than-expected curb weight while supporting the range efficiency that is the whole point of going electric.

Chevy Equinox EV tire sizes

Equinox EV (2024-current): 235/55R19 (1LT, 2LT), 235/50R20 (RS, LT with 20-inch).

The 235/55R19 covers the entry 1LT and 2LT trims — the highest-volume configuration.

Best tires

Continental PureContact LS in 235/55R19: the best EV choice in this size — low rolling resistance supports Equinox EV range, strong wet grip handles the EV weight, available in 235/55R19.

Michelin CrossClimate2 in 235/55R19: 3PMSF all-weather capability for Equinox EV owners in mixed climates. Slightly higher rolling resistance than PureContact but the all-weather security is a meaningful upgrade.

Bridgestone Ecopia HL 422 Plus in 235/55R19: engineered specifically for hybrid/EV efficiency — very low rolling resistance at a competitive price. Good budget choice for Equinox EV owners prioritizing range.
