E5 and New E5 pages
Chery Australia currently maintains both an E5 model URL and a New E5 URL. The current official specification sheet describes the all-new MY26 Chery E5. To avoid duplicate guidance, this is the single main tyre-size page for the Australian E5; build details and the vehicle placard remain the final reference.
Replacement checks for an electric SUV
Match or exceed the placard's load index and speed rating. Verify wheel size, current sidewall and any manufacturer-specific requirements. Electric vehicle mass and torque can influence wear, but an EV-labelled tyre is not automatically correct unless its size and ratings match.
If changing size or wheel diameter, check overall diameter, wheel width and offset, brake and suspension clearance, steering clearance, efficiency and range implications, and South Australian requirements.
