Why EV tyres need extra thought
- Extra weight, so the tyre needs a suitable load rating
- Instant torque, which can wear tyres faster
- A quiet cabin, where road noise stands out more
- Low rolling resistance tyres, which can help efficiency and range
How mobile EV tyre fitting works
Tell us your car
Give us your model, your reg and the tyre size from the sidewall.
Match
We match the tyre to your car's load and speed rating.
Fit
We fit the tyres at your address.
Check the load rating
Tyre sizes carry a load index and a speed rating, for example 235/45 R19 99V. A tyre for an electric car should meet or beat what your manufacturer specifies. A tyre with too low a load rating can be unsafe.
Many electric cars have tyre pressure sensors inside the wheels. Tell us if yours does and we will take care when removing and refitting the tyres.
Common questions
Do electric cars need special tyres?
Many are fitted with tyres built for the extra weight. Check your handbook or the tyre sidewall, or tell us the car and we will match the specification.
Do you fit tyres on hybrid cars?
Yes. Tell us the model when you call.
Will the tyres affect my range?
Tyre choice can affect efficiency, and so range. Ask us about the options when you call.
