It is just 120 years since the first tire for cars was invented. Since then, tires have been
continuously developed and optimized. Modern tires with the “EV” label are specially adapted to the needs of electric vehicles.
The right tires are extremely important for your e-vehicle and your safety, because in the end, just a few square a few square inches of rubber decide whether they will keep you braking, cornering and even in critical situations where you want to be.
The rims also play an important role in driving comfort. We can advise you on which combination of rims and tires is best suited to your needs. You can also have your wheelsets stored by us under optimum conditions.
E-vehicles are often heavier than combustion engines due to the weight of the battery. In addition, the immediately usable torque is a challenge for the tires. Tires developed for electric vehicles are therefore made of more robust rubber compounds and have a stronger sidewall.
The rolling resistance of a tire is very important for electric cars, as lower rolling resistance means greater range. Narrower tires and well-adjusted air pressure help to reduce rolling resistance.
As there is no engine noise, rolling noises are more audible on electric vehicles. Tires for e-vehicles are made from rubber compounds that are particularly quiet. The design of the treads also contributes to a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
Rims for electric vehicles catch the eye with their unusual shape. This is not only a futuristic design element, but also reduces the formation of air vortices.This makes electric vehicles even quieter and gives them a greater range.
Storing wheelsets in a private cellar or garage is not the best solution. Fluctuating temperatures, humidity and dust are bad for the tires – and lugging and stacking them is bad for your health.
We have optimal storage conditions and store the wheelsets for you. When you bring your vehicle in for a wheel change, we check the condition and tread depth of the tires so that you maintain the right grip in all driving situations.
