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.

Affordable prices and friendly service.
Great price for brand new R17. I purchased my first 2 tyres over a year ago and still have another year of use on them. Now, just brought 2 more recently to replace the other pair. Best advice given to me was to rotate tyres (Put new on front and old ones on the back). Tyres will last a long time 😁
