Tire Service for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles at Stanley Ford Gilmer

Since electric and hybrid models are still fairly new when compared to their gas counterparts, there are a lot of drivers that are unaware of what they actually need when it comes to routine maintenance. Since these vehicles are normally a lot heavier, your tires will be taking an increased amount of stress on the road, and they’ll often need to be built in a certain way to accommodate your car’s needs. If you’re worried about your current set, you’ll want to visit us at Stanley Ford Gilmer.

Exploring Tires for EVs

Most drivers don’t realize that EV tires are inherently different from regular tires. They’re often designed to deal with more stress.

  • Dealing with the Weight of an EV: Electric and hybrid models are heavy, which means that they’ll need tires that can handle the weight.
  • Reducing Rolling Resistance: With lower rolling resistance, you’ll be dealing with less friction. This can help you travel further, and you’ll be able to conserve more of your tread.
  • More Traction on The Road: EV tires are designed to maximize your traction on the road so that you can grip the terrain.
  • A Quieter Tire: Since you won’t have an engine with an EV, you might actually notice how loud your tires are; because of this, EV tires tend to be extremely quiet.
