The Polestar 2 is a fastback electric sedan from Volvo parent company Geely — built on the CMA platform shared with Volvo XC40 Recharge. It weighs approximately 4,700 lbs and is available in single or dual-motor configurations. Tire selection should prioritize low rolling resistance for EV range and ride quality matching the Polestar premium positioning.
Polestar 2 tire sizes
The Polestar 2 Standard Range Single Motor uses 245/45R19 on 19-inch standard wheels. The Long Range Single Motor and Long Range Dual Motor use 245/45R19 or optionally 245/40R20 on 20-inch wheels.
From the factory, 19-inch cars ship on the Michelin Primacy 4 (245/45R19) and 20-inch cars on the Continental PremiumContact 6 or SportContact 6 (245/40R20) — Polestar-spec tires with foam acoustic lining. Verify your exact size on the door sticker.
Best tires for the Polestar 2
Michelin Primacy Tour A/S (245/40R20) — the OE all-season on US 20-inch cars and the top pick for keeping the factory character. Acoustic-foam construction, low rolling resistance, and a refined ride suited to the weight and torque characteristics of EVs.
Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (245/45R19) — strong all-season alternative for Polestar 2 owners who want the Michelin brand quality. Available in 245/45R19. Good all-season performance with relatively low rolling resistance.
Continental PureContact LS (245/45R19) — the quietest all-season for the Polestar 2. Very low road noise enhances the quiet EV cabin. Excellent wet performance, 70,000-mile warranty.
Frequently asked
What tire size does the Polestar 2 use?
Standard and Long Range (19-inch): 245/45R19. Optional 20-inch: 245/40R20. Verify on the driver door sticker.
How much do Polestar 2 tires cost?
245/45R19: $155 to $240 per tire. A full set of four installed runs $620 to $960.
Do EV tires wear out faster on the Polestar 2?
They can. The instant torque and extra battery weight of an EV put more load on the tread than a similar gas car, so tires wear quicker if you drive hard. Choosing an EV-minded tire with a tough compound and rotating on schedule are the two things that stretch a set. Smooth throttle habits help too.
Does tire choice affect my Polestar 2's range?
Yes, more than most people expect. A low-rolling-resistance tire — like the acoustic-foam types the car ships on — preserves range, while a grippier performance tire trades some of it away. If maximum range matters to you, stick with an efficiency-focused all-season. A local shop can point out which options in your size are built for EVs.
