Why do EVs need EV tires?

Ten years ago, you didn’t see many EV tires on the market, but with how popular EVs have become recently, most major tire companies today have found the time has come to start offering their own EV tire products. But why? What’s the point?

Well, it makes sense when you think about it. EVs have two major factors working against their tires: Weight and torque.

You’ll find most EVs are a bit heavier than their gasoline-powered counterparts. Hey, batteries are heavy; the industry’s working on that. But a heavier load translates into faster tire wear.

To compensate for this, tire companies go out of their way to use more robust, stronger building materials to manufacture these tires.
