Electric Design Innovation
Electric hybrid cars have been designed with much more powerful engines, and therefore it has been understood by manufacturers that these vehicles require specially designed tyres. EV and HEV vehicles are designed to perform best alongside hybrid car tyres or electric car tyres from premium manufacturers such as Bridgestone, Michelin or Pirelli for a safer and better performance than if fitted with regular tyres.
Electric & Hybrid Tyre Performance
Due to the structure and compartments of an electric vehicle, the battery is heavier than a usual engine and therefore, needs more power to get the vehicle started. By choosing premium, electric and hybrid tyres, you can ensure your tyres will respond well to the extra power and weight of the car and reduce the longer braking distance hybrid and electric cars are usually susceptible to. Choosing the correct electric car tyre or hybrid tyre will increase the longevity and performance of your EV or HEV as well as keep other drivers on the road safe.
Electric Tyres Noise Levels
With the large reduction in engine noise for the electric and hybrid vehicles in comparison to regular vehicles, they perform well with tyres designed to reduce noise levels when driving at high speeds. The Goodyear Wrangler HP is an excellent choice to keep the hybrid vehicle smooth and quiet.
How to Identify Suitable Electric Tyres
Although there is currently no standard for identifying electric or hybrid tyres, many manufacturers, such as Continental have made the distinction between the two by using E or EV. Well known brands such as Bridgestone have developed their Ecopia tyre range which is an eco-friendly alternative.

Reduction in Rolling Resistance
In order to reflect the performance of an EV or hybrid electric vehicle, it is recommended that tyres are fitted with low rolling resistance in order to help save energy and increase fuel efficiency. These hybrid tyres offer excellent grip and safety without compromising on battery performance. As a great premium option, try the Bridgestone Turanza T005.
