Tyres really are incredible - and we stock the very best! 🛞✨

With superb wet braking performance, excellent handling and fuel efficiency, they are feats of engineering that are way more impressive than meets the eye.

What's more, they keep you safe!

For our blog on why tyres are so important and the many different products we stock, visit https://www.firststop.ie/tyre-advice

Why are EV tyres so crucial? Electric vehicles demand specialsed tyres for optimal efficiency and performance.

Here’s why:

1️⃣ Higher Torque: EVs deliver instant torque, requiring tyres with superior grip.

2️⃣ Weight Distribution: Heavier batteries mean tyres need to support more weight without compromising ride quality.

3️⃣ Noise Reduction: Special tyre designs minimise road noise for a quieter drive.

Choose an 'EV Ready' tyre to maximise your EV experience! 🌱🔋
