With electric and hybrid cars becoming increasingly popular, many tyre manufactures are having to rethink aspects of their tyres and have introduce specialist electric vehicle tyres to ensure optimum performance.

Due to the battery, electric vehicles are typically heavier than petrol or diesel cars. This means the tyres need to be designed to carry this extra weight. EV tyres must also provide enough grip to cope with increased torque without reducing vehicle range. Electric vehicles are also very quiet, having no engine noise. For this reason, EV tyres need a low noise rating.
