Why EV Tyres Matter
Electric vehicles (EVs) have different demands compared to petrol or diesel cars. Using the wrong tyres can lead to faster wear, more noise, and reduced range. At Capital Tyres, we stock and fit tyres designed specifically for EVs, ensuring safety, comfort, and efficiency.
1. Handling Extra Weight
EVs carry heavy battery packs, often adding 200–500 kg. EV tyres are reinforced to carry this weight without wearing out prematurely. Standard tyres on an EV can fail faster and compromise handling.
2. Coping With Instant Torque
Electric motors deliver power instantly. This rapid acceleration can cause normal tyres to spin or wear down quickly. EV tyres are built with stronger construction to grip the road and handle high torque.
3. Reducing Road Noise
With no engine noise to mask sounds, tyre noise is more noticeable in an EV. EV tyres use noise-reducing designs to keep the cabin quiet and comfortable.
4. Improving Range With Low Rolling Resistance
EV tyres are designed with low rolling resistance. This means less energy is wasted, helping your battery last longer and extending your driving range.
5. Special Compounds and Tread Design
EV tyres use advanced rubber compounds and tread patterns that balance grip, durability, and efficiency. This ensures safety in all conditions while maximising battery performance.
6. Built for Durability
Because of the extra weight and torque, EV tyres are built tougher to last longer. Using normal tyres may mean more frequent replacements and higher costs over time.
