Why EV Tire Maintenance?

In comparison to regular cars, EVs are designed for efficiency, lower emissions and less noise pollution. However, with all this comes a slight consequence: heavier vehicles. With heavy batteries, the additional weight proves taxing on EV tires. Not to mention, the ability to accelerate faster with the engine torque brings more wear and tear.

To increase EV tire longevity, maintenance is key. You should:

  • Regularly check air pressure of your EV tires adjust if needed
  • Correct wheel alignment to reduce tire wear
  • Have your tires checked every 6 months, or sooner if you have hit potholes, a curb or anything else.

When Should You Replace Your Tires?

There are two major aspects to keep in mind, when thinking about tire replacement:

Tire Age

Aging tires means when the components begin to change. Environmental conditions such as snow, rain or extreme heat could have an effect. On the other hand, if your car is sitting idle for too long, this could have its own impacts.

Tire Wear

Tire wear is part and parcel of your car, no matter how good a driver you are. Over time, the tire should wear evenly rather than only on the outside or inside of the tire. If there is irregular wear, that is indicative of your tire pressure or alignment. Wear, in this case, could be accelerated if not taken care of immediately. 

A good way to know when to change your tires is by reading the manufacture date. Every tire has this indicated on it. This can help you decide when to change them.

Industry experts recommend replacing tires at about 6 and before 10 years of age. This depends on how the tires are doing.

Why Should You Replace Your Tires?

Preparing for the worst is always best. Keeping a regular check on your tires and knowing when to change them is crucial to your safety and costs.

Problems from tire wear include:

  • Blowouts that could lead you stranded or cause an accident
  • Difficulty braking effectively
  • Decreased road grip
  • Uneven wheel alignments and balance problems

If not addressed immediately, either of these problems could cause you a hefty repair bill.
