enzoalec92 2nd Gear November 17, 2021 Share November 17, 2021 As the car industry increasingly steers toward electrification, you might — or have not until now — realise there are tyres specifically catered to EVs, which tend to be heavier than their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. What's the difference in their construction and should you get a set if you already own an EV? What about fitting them to your ICE car (see title LOL)? Jonathan Benson explains it all really eloquently in his video: And no, I'm NOT a paid shill 🤑 by Hankook; I just thought this would be useful information for us all in time to come! ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

inlinesix Supersonic November 17, 2021 Share November 17, 2021 It goes back to the load index of tyre. EV is heavier than ICE. Need higher load index tyre. It is as simple as that 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic November 17, 2021 Share November 17, 2021 It is good to know tire makers make the effort to make specific tires eg. SUV tires and EV tires for the specific cars. Yeah the title definitely will have ppl scratching their heads. "Know your SUV tires and EV tires". Easy to understand. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
