Electric Vehicle Tyre Suitability

Electric vehicles (EVs) often require tyres that can handle greater weight due to their heavy battery packs. They also benefit from tyres designed to withstand the increased torque and unique performance demands of EVs.
Important Note: While these tyres are not specifically designed for EVs, their higher load ratings and enhanced durability make them suitable for many electric vehicles.
