As more and more motorists choose to invest in electric vehicles (EVs), we wanted to highlight the main points to consider when it comes time to buy new EV tyres.
Our guide takes you through key points to consider, to ensure you choose the right tyres for you and your vehicle.
Choosing the right electric car tyres
So, you need new EV tyres, but, are not sure where to start. What type? What brand? What model? There are many questions to answer.
To help you come to a decision, there are four key factors to consider when making your choice:
1. The weather and climate of where you live
The UK has to deal with many different weather conditions from one part of the country to the other.
If, for example, you live in a part of the country which experiences a lot of rainfall then paying particular attention to the tyres which have a good tyre label score for ‘wet grip’ could be a good place to start.
2. The type of vehicle you own
Cars, vans,
4x4s, SUVs and campervans require specific tyres – built to meet the unique requirements of that vehicle type.
Manufacturers on both sides of the coin (vehicle and tyre) have spent many years working together to ensure that tyres fitted to vehicles work the way they are supposed to for that vehicle type.
Where possible Tyres4U lists the type of vehicle a tyre was developed for in a product listing, or search results page. Making it easy for you to spot a tyre developed for your vehicle.
3. Your driving style
No matter your driving preference, it takes all sorts to make this world go round, each tyre on Tyres4U comes with a brief overview and some information on key features that they tyre has been constructed for.
This gives you the chance to determine which tyres suits your style.
4. Your budget
When buying new electric car tyres, your budget has a lot of say in the tyres you choose.
We understand that money is a major factor in choosing a tyre and the temptation may be to go with as cheap a tyre as possible. However, tyres are the only contact your vehicle has with the road.
Rather than thinking: How cheap I can get tyres?
Consider: How much can I afford?
