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! 🌱🔋
