9GT Radial Sport Active 2 EV	37.9 m	+4.90 m	47 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 14.8% (4.9 m ≈ 1.1 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the GT Radial Sport Active 2 EV would still be travelling at 47 km/h when the Hankook iON evo SUV had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

How this is calculated

Assumes a typical EV using 18 kWh/100km (with rolling resistance causing 25% of energy use), electricity at €0.32 per kWh and €70 fitting per set of four. Purchase prices are from the time of the 2024 test; financing costs are excluded.

Rolling Resistance
Position / Tyre	Result	Gap to best	Extra energy / year
1Falken e.Ziex	5.55 kg/t	Best	£0
2GT Radial Sport Active 2 EV	6.17 kg/t	+0.62 kg/t	£27
3Michelin Pilot Sport EV	6.55 kg/t	+1.00 kg/t	£43
4Continental PremiumContact 7	6.64 kg/t	+1.09 kg/t	£47
5Hankook iON evo SUV	6.88 kg/t	+1.33 kg/t	£57

7Goodride Z 107 ZuperEco	7.71 kg/t	+2.16 kg/t	£93
8Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV	7.99 kg/t	+2.44 kg/t	£105
9Bridgestone Potenza Sport	9.1 kg/t	+3.55 kg/t	£153

The difference between best and worst was 64% (3.55 kg / t). Over 19,000 km a year at £0.28/kWh, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport uses about 547 kWh (£153) more electricity than the Falken e.Ziex.

Set my vehicle consumption

Estimates based on typical driving conditions. Rolling resistance accounts for approximately 20% of IC vehicle fuel consumption and 25% of EV energy consumption. Actual savings vary based on driving style, vehicle weight, road conditions, and tyre age. For comparative purposes only. Lifetime savings based on a 40,000km / 25,000 mile tread life.
