A Look At Some Of The Best EV Tyres On The Market

If you’ve bought an electric vehicle, you’ll want to ensure you are getting the best out of your investment. Tyres are a fundamental component that is critical to safety, performance and efficiency. They dictate how your car handles and grips the tarmac, as well as the range you can benefit from.

In this article, we’ll discuss why EVs demand more from tyres and suggest some of the best options for you to consider.

Are EV tyres different?

There aren’t many tyres specifically designed for use on EVs only, although general tyre design and construction are increasingly taking these new demands into account.

EVs are typically significantly heavier than similar models with engines, largely due to the battery pack. This added weight increases the load on each tyre and can cause additional wear. To counteract this, EV-friendly tyres are designed with reinforced sidewalls to reduce the chance of punctures and blowouts.

Electric cars put more strain on tyres through increased acceleration and braking power. Whereas combustion-engine vehicles increase torque gradually, EVs provide full torque at once putting immense pressure on the rubber. With greater weight too, braking requires more energy to bring the car to a halt which can wear down tyres more.

The composition of tyres designed with EVs in mind is slightly different. Different rubber and silica compounds generate less noise in motion which helps to improve the user experience in an already quiet car. Reducing the rolling resistance is also a key factor, helping to increase range and reduce energy loss.

Best tyre options for EVs

So, it’s clear that choosing the right tyres is key to maximising your EV’s performance, but what are some of the best options to choose from?

Michelin e.Primacy – This is one of the best tyres across the board if you’re looking for efficiency, reliability and low noise. Michelin tyres are highly rated and have won several industry-accredited awards over the years.

Bridgestone Turanza Eco – This tyre is a strong choice for EVs because of Bridgestone’s ENLITEN features which reduce rolling resistance significantly. It’s also an environmentally friendly choice by design, using fewer materials without sacrificing performance and safety.

Hankook Ventus S1 Eco 3 EV – Hankook is a manufacturer that is making waves in the electric vehicle space. This tyre comes as standard with a few of Volkswagen’s flagship EV models because of its ability to meet high torque and low rolling resistance demands.
