Find Tyres for 2023-present Hyundai Kona Electric (SX2 EV)
Common factory fitments and replacement guidance for the 2023-present Hyundai Kona Electric.
About this generation
As an EV, the Hyundai Kona Electric carries more weight than a comparable petrol car and delivers torque instantly — both factors that make EV-specific tyres a sensible choice. Original equipment was typically EV-rated.
The current-generation Hyundai Kona Electric (2023-present) is sold in the UK with a small set of factory tyre sizes per trim. Replacement tyres should match the size, load index and speed rating of what came on your specific car.
Chassis code: SX2 EV. Use the chassis code to confirm you have the right generation when ordering tyres.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are budget tyres OK on a Hyundai Kona Electric?
On lower-power, lighter cars like the Hyundai Kona Electric, mid-range tyres often deliver the best value — premium isn't always justified. Avoid the cheapest unbranded options; check the EU tyre label before fitting.
What wet grip should I look for on the Hyundai Kona Electric?
For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.
Should I fit EV-specific tyres to the Hyundai Kona Electric?
EV-specific tyres are designed for the extra weight and instant torque of electric drivetrains. Many 2023-present Hyundai Kona Electric cars were supplied with EV-rated tyres (often labelled "EV", "Elect" or with a snowflake-and-bolt). Sticking with EV-rated rubber tends to preserve range and tread life.
What should Hyundai Kona Electric drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the Hyundai Kona Electric?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Hyundai Kona Electric drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
