HERE’S HOW MUCH REAL WORLD EV RANGE YOU’LL LOSE BY SWAPPING TO RUGGED ALL-TERRAIN TIRES

EV Channels Review

This video meticulously compares the real-world range impact of different tire and wheel setups on the Ford F-150 Lightning. The core finding is that aggressive all-terrain tires, even on stock 20-inch wheels, significantly reduce efficiency compared to the factory all-season tires. The Lariat with all-terrain tires used 61% of its battery for a 160-mile loop, a 7% increase over the stock setup (54%). The Platinum trim, with its larger 22-inch wheels and stock tires, also showed a reduction, using 59% of the battery. While the Platinum's larger wheels had a noticeable impact, the all-terrain tires on the Lariat proved to be the least efficient option tested. The review highlights that while the government ratings suggest minimal range loss for the Platinum, real-world testing reveals a more substantial penalty, particularly with aftermarket all-terrain tires.
