Best Tires for Volkswagen ID.4

The VW ID.4 is Volkswagen's first purpose-built electric SUV on the MEB platform. It is a larger, heavier vehicle than the Golf-based VWs (weighing 4,500+ lbs in AWD form), which means tire load ratings and rolling resistance matter more than they do on lighter crossovers.

ID.4 Standard Range / Pro (2021-current): 235/55R19 (base), 235/50R20 (upgrade packages).

ID.4 AWD Pro S: 235/50R20.

The 235/55R19 is the most common ID.4 fitment.
