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
Small hatchbacks often get 45,000–60,000 km from a set because they are light, but many are driven short distances and reach five years first. Hot hatches on performance tyres usually need fronts every 25,000–35,000 km.
Small hatchbacks typically need a load index of 79–88 with a T or H speed rating. Larger and sporty hatchbacks such as the Golf and Mini Cooper S use 91–94 with V or W ratings, often XL. Mini models fitted with run-flats are marked RSC, RFT or SSR on the sidewall.
