Do not use the 2024 launch wheel information as a substitute for the current vehicle's placard: the Australian bZ4X has received updates since launch. bZ4X Touring is also a separate model and must not be treated as the standard bZ4X default.

EV replacement checks
- Confirm 2WD or AWD and read the full tyre placard.
- Use a tyre with the correct load index for the vehicle's mass.
- For AWD, keep construction, rolling circumference and tread depth suitably matched across all four tyres.
- Check TPMS and the tyre repair kit.
- Verify wheel width, offset, load capacity, brake clearance and rolling diameter before wheel changes.
- Prioritise wet braking, road noise and efficiency, but do not assume an EV label alone confirms suitability.
- Check alignment if the old tyres show uneven wear.

No. Toyota's current specification lists 18-inch wheels for 2WD and 20-inch wheels for AWD.
Does a bZ4X need an EV-labelled tyre?
Not automatically. Correct size, load and speed ratings, wet grip, noise and efficiency are the key checks.
