Electric vehicle tires probably wouldn't make much difference in a gas-powered car, but they help define an electric car's ride. Here's a few things we'd like you to know about EV tires --
-- EV tires use less energy to get moving -- Rolling resistance is a measure of the energy it takes to overcome the resistance of the road -- That's why EV tires need low rolling-resistance tires that maintain range and extend battery life.
-- EV tires wear faster -- The torque of an electric motor means EV tires are high-performance. They grip and handle better, at the expense of tread wear and winter traction.
-- EV tires cost more -- All that tire technology costs money -- EV tires can cost $300+ each and if you're a spirited driver, you could be buying tires every 20-30,000 miles!
Even the best tires can ride and feel like crap if they're not installed and balanced right -- That's why EV Tire Recommendations ans Service is best left to the experts.
We know electric vehicle tires because we install them! We see what comes off and when and how much a new set of tires will cost. If you're looking for a tire recommendation email me a picture of your tires at [email protected] and I'll do my best to help you.
