Why Do Electric Vehicles Need Specialist Tyres?

EVs put more strain on tyres due to:

• Increased weight from battery packs.
• Instant torque causing faster tread wear.
• Quieter driving experience requiring low-noise tyres.
• Greater rolling resistance affecting range and efficiency.

Choosing the right EV tyres improves safety, longevity, and efficiency.

How Long Do EV Tyres Last?

Due to higher torque and weight, EV tyres may wear out faster than petrol or diesel cars.

• Most EV tyres last 20,000-30,000 miles.
• Harder driving styles may reduce lifespan.
• Regular tyre rotations & wheel alignments extend durability.
