Why Electric Vehicles Need EV-specific Tires
Tires intended for conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles will fit your EV car’s wheels, but using them in this way would be a bad idea, ArtsTechnica reports.
Tires meant for EVs are engineered to withstand the additional weight, dynamic loading, and tractive demands of an EV, among other things.
Using non-EV tires will likely result in far more accelerated wear, heat-related issues, and the potential for wheelspin from a rest, which, even with traction control, could conceivably induce a loss of directional stability.
