EV Insights & Updates

The industry has progressed to the point that many modern cars leave the factory with wheels that dwarf even the largest aftermarket wheels from just a decade ago.

When you buy a new EV, you might notice that the tires look a little different than the set you had on your last gas vehicle. Automakers often opt for low rolling-resistance tires, and those that help maximize the range of electric vehicles, but even the greenest tires need care to last and perform at their best.

Tires designed specifically for electric vehicles are different from standard tires. They’re designed to do different things. Do their differences mean that EV tires can’t be repaired like standard tires if they’re losing air due to a foreign object like a nail or a piece of glass? Not necessarily, though the process may be more involved.
