On March 27th, Xiaomi officially announced that on March 28th at 19:00, the Xiaomi SU7 will be launched. Today, Xiaomi Motors released an article introducing the four types of wheels and tires for the Xiaomi SU7, among which the wheel design is claimed to have been selected from over 5000 design drafts. The four types of wheels and tires for Xiaomi SU7 are as follows:

  • 19-inch low drag coefficient wheels + Michelin low rolling resistance tires
  • 19-inch sport wheels + Bridgestone TURANZA 6 tires
  • 20-inch "plum blossom wheels" + Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires
  • 21-inch sport wheels + Pirelli P ZERO fifth-generation tires

It is understood that the 19-inch low drag coefficient wheels + Michelin low rolling resistance tires are suitable for users who pursue ultimate endurance. While ensuring the braking heat dissipation performance of the wheels, the wheels provide a smoother outer surface by embedding aerodynamic inserts, reducing drag by approximately 6-8 counts. Paired with Michelin e·Primacy low rolling resistance tires, the standard version of Xiaomi SU7 has increased its CLTC endurance mileage from the previous 668km to 700km, while the Xiaomi SU7 Max has achieved an ultra-long endurance of 810km. s_93e562042ddf436e93c55cbd6f6b8794.jpg A 19-inch sport wheel paired with Bridgestone TURANZA 6 tires balances sportiness and comfort seamlessly. The wheel features "7" shaped elements rotating around the center, creating a visually dynamic look that screams athleticism. Paired with custom-made Bridgestone TURANZA 6 tires, it can support speeds of up to 265 km/h and achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 2.78 seconds, perfect for the Xiaomi SU7 Max. s_54dbb5cf86aa4ea8898f1b924f768172.jpg The 20-inch "Star-shaped Alloy Wheels" paired with Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires are designed to deliver a combination of sportiness, comfort, and reduced noise.

Reportedly, these tires are specifically developed by Michelin for high-end electric vehicles. They feature noise-reducing foam within the tire, resulting in minimal road noise. Additionally, Michelin has tailored the formulation, structure, and tread pattern specifically for the Xiaomi SU7. s_d46b9f8ce0b84e5d99981d61a7fbd78e.jpg Let's take another look at the 21-inch sport wheels paired with the Pirelli P ZERO fifth-generation tires. This combination is perfect for users seeking ultimate sporty handling.

The all-black finish of the 21-inch sport wheels exudes simplicity and strength, enhancing the overall sporty appeal. Customized with Pirelli P ZERO fifth-generation tires, the Xiaomi SU7 achieves a braking distance of 33.3 meters from 100 km/h to 0. s_f8fee432a2f44f4f858cdf814687a684.jpg Xiaomi has stated that, to unleash the maximum performance of the Xiaomi SU7 Max, a special design featuring 20-inch Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires and 21-inch Pirelli P ZERO tires has been adopted, with narrower tires in the front and wider ones in the rear. This design enhances the grip of the rear wheels, allowing for the full utilization of Xiaomi's V6s super motor power.
