Standard tires or specific EV tires? Range, performance, braking, noise: discover all the parameters to consider when choosing the perfect tires for your electric vehicle and your needs. This practical guide will help you every step of the way to see more clearly and make the right choice.
So, ready to hit the road with confidence?
An EV can be up to 30% heavier than a combustion vehicle. EV-specific tires increase range and reduce road noise.
While electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining popularity, Canadian winters can raise concerns about their range. Does the temperature drop really affect battery performance? Should you fear a breakdown in the middle of a snowstorm?
Winter Tires & EVs: Putting Performance First Like it or not, winter is around the corner. And in some places across the country, it’s already here.
Advancing Performance for High-End Electric Vehicles Discoer the Hankook's new "iON" tire range, specifically designed for high-end electric vehicles. While the trend in the electric vehicle tire industry has long been focused on energy...
Driving electric is synonymous with performance and environmental awareness.To maximize the range and safety of your EV, tire selection is crucial. Here are some advantages of choosing tires specifically designed for electric vehicles :
1. Low rolling resistance.
Tires with low rolling resistance reduce energy consumption and increase the range of your EV.
2. Higher load index.
Electric vehicles are heavier than conventional vehicles. Tires designed for EVs have a load index capable of supporting more weight and are therefore particularly recommended for electric vehicles.
3. Adapted for quiet driving.
Electric vehicles are inherently very quiet. EV tires offer excellent noise reduction performance for an even more enjoyable ride for the driver and passengers.
4. Adapted tread pattern.
Specific EV tires often offer increased acceleration performance thanks to a tread pattern adapted to the specific needs of this category of vehicles.
5. Designed to last.
Reduce the risk of punctures and keep your tires longer with models designed for improved durability.
6. Adhesion, a key factor.
To allow EV drivers to benefit from similar performance to gasoline-powered vehicles, the adhesion of EV tires is designed to facilitate acceleration, braking and overall handling.
