BYD tyre tips
- BYD EVs are heavy; replacement tyres should be XL or EV-rated with at least the original load index.
- The Atto 3 uses 215/55 R18, a common size, so quieter mid-range tyres are easy to source.
- The Shark plug-in hybrid pick-up should use LT or high-load tyres when carrying weight.
Common factory tyres on BYD: Atlas, Continental, Giti, Linglong, Michelin.

When to replace the tyres
Rear tyres on powerful rear-wheel-drive coupes often last only 15,000–25,000 km; fronts last longer, 25,000–35,000 km. Soft UHP compounds also age quickly in heat, so replace at four to five years even with tread remaining.
Coupes typically need a load index of 88–101 with XL construction on many fitments, and a speed rating of W (270 km/h) or Y (300 km/h). Front and rear sizes often differ, each with its own load and speed requirement. Some Porsche, BMW and Mercedes-AMG models specify maker-approved tyres marked N0, *, or MO.
