Xiaomi SU7 Tire Impact on Range: Key Factors Explained
Q: Why does replacing tires significantly affect the Xiaomi SU7’s range in recent media tests?
A: The primary factor influencing range is tire rolling resistance. Low rolling resistance tires reduce driving resistance and improve energy efficiency but may slightly compromise acceleration/braking performance. Conversely, high rolling resistance tires enhance acceleration and braking at the cost of higher energy consumption.
The Xiaomi SU7 Max demonstrates exceptional range capabilities even with performance-oriented tires. Equipped with 21-inch Pirelli P ZERO 5th-generation sport tires, it achieves a CLTC range of 725km. Media tests recorded nearly 500km in highway-only conditions and over 550km in combined urban-highway scenarios, validating its optimized balance between performance and efficiency.
