Why EVTIRES.COM?

Yes, Range Anxiety is real. New EV tire technology, and design has succeeded in reducing the rolling resistance in EV tires giving your electric vehicle longer range and may even reduce the number of charging stops. During an emergency a few miles can be crucial. We help you find the right set of tires that can increase your EV's range by up to 10% over regular tires. 

Yes again, new acoustic technology including proprietary inner foam padding and advanced tire tread design helps dampen interior noise when driving on changing road conditions. 

An EV tire that sticks to the road will be able to handle the instant torque of an EV much better but will create a bit more resistance and thus can drain more power from the battery. But with more surface area contacting the road it will be a loud tire and no ICE engine to drown out the extra noise. EVtires.com will help you find a ‘Goldilocks’ tire for your electric vehicle with grip that won’t be too loud but will give you that stuck to the road feel with every turn of the wheel.  

When you press the accelerator pedal in an EV, the power goes straight to the wheels and of course your tires. That instant acceleration is called torque. It helps you 'off the line' quick but it also puts a lot of pressure on your tires right away, much like a high powered dragster. Oh, did we mention one of our advisory board members is a semi-pro drag racer? If the tires are not built to handle it, they can wear unevenly or lose traction. EV tires are made to give you extra grip on the road and keep you in control of your Electric Vehicle.

It’s not always the case that the tires that came with your EV are the best for your driving habits. You may want to buy the tire that gives you the best performance and gets you the most fun out of your EV and may not mind a modest increase in tire noise. Others may be annoyed by any extra tire noise when driving an Electric Vehicle. They may wish to choose EV tires with a tread pattern that is quiet or a good value, etc. 

Tires for EV's can have stronger sidewalls to help handle the extra weight of the EV battery power pack. Advanced sidewall and tread design help with all of the concerns we touch on in our EVtires.com RANT©, RAnge Noise Torque. There's more to come on the unique composition of EV specific tires. Its NOT just a marketing gimmick.

Of course there are other considerations when choosing a tire for your electric vehicle such as seasonal variations. While all season tires are the most popular, is an all season tire your best choice if you’re number one goal is high performance and handling? If you will not be driving in snow often or have experience driving on snowy roads the trade off in performance may not be worth it. 

When it comes to purchasing tires, “a good place to start is to consider buying the same ones that came on the car,” says Dan Edmunds, director of vehicle testing for car site Edmunds.com. If you like the way the car rides and handles, buy the original equipment or OE tires your car came with from the manufacturer. But if you want to change the ride characteristics of your car, you’ll need to do a bit more research." 

EVtires.com would add that tire tech and information may have changed since you purchased your EV. Staying up to date on the fast changing technology and purchase options for electric vehicle tires is very important.
