Tires influence an EV’s range, comfort, handling and braking. Vehicle weight and instant electric torque can also affect tire wear.
What EV Owners Should Know
Low rolling resistance can improve efficiency, but tire choice also affects wet grip, road noise and braking performance. Correct tire pressure is important because underinflation increases rolling resistance.
Final Thoughts
Use tires approved for the vehicle and maintain the manufacturer-recommended pressure for the best balance of safety, efficiency and tire life.
