2013 Fiat 500e tire options or look-alikes

[multifunctional20]

Gearing up for a road trip with a new set of tires for my trusty 2013 500e. Used 205/40 R17s on the stock suspension for a few seasons, but wondering if there are any "EV-specific" tires out there in that size. Haven't had much luck searching. The new 2024 500e uses 205/45 R17s - would those work on my car? Also open to non-EV tires that are close matches if EV options are scarce. Any recommendations for EV-friendly tires or solid look-alikes, anyone?

The 205/45 tires would fit, but they could rub on your liners when you turn sharply.

EV-specific tires don't always make a huge difference in my opinion. Instead, I'd recommend focusing on finding high-quality, affordable tires that are the recommended size for your car. Those will give you the best performance.

What did you get? For your 2013 500e, EV-specific tires in 205/40 R17 are rare, but I'd recommend options like Michelin Energy Saver or Bridgestone Ecopia work well. The 205/45 R17 size might fit, but check for clearance and handling differences.
