Electric vehicles (EVs) and traditional internal combustion engines (ICE) might look the same, and they can sometimes even be fitted with the same tyres. Normal tyres are generally compatible with most electric vehicles and can be used effectively for daily driving.

When driving an electric vehicle equipped with specially designed tyres, the interior is noticeably quiet and provides better performance.

However, when choosing tyres for an EV, it is important to consider certain factors when you pick for normal tyres:

A. Load Capacity

Ensure that the tyres you choose can support the weight of the electric cars, including the additional weight of the battery pack, which can be substantial compared to traditional cars.

B. Speed Rating

Check the speed rating of the tyres to ensure they can handle the performance capabilities of your electric vehicle. EVs can often accelerate quickly, so it is important to choose tyres with an appropriate speed rating for safety and performance.

C. Tyre Size

Make sure to select tyres that match the recommended tyre size for your electric vehicle. Using the correct tire size is crucial for maintaining proper handling, stability, and safety.

D. Efficiency and Range

While regular tyres may work fine for an electric vehicle, specialized EV tyres are designed to minimize rolling resistance, which can help improve efficiency and extend the car’s range on a single charge.
