Choosing the Right Tire

It’s important that you know that EV and hybrid tires may not last as long on the road. Since they’re dealing with more friction, they’re going to wear away at a rapid rate. You can generally expect them to last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles, but this may vary depending on your specific model and make. If you want to maximize their lifespan though, you’ll want to keep up with service. This will make sure that you’re getting as much mileage as possible out of them. If they’re worn to the point that you need a new set, then you’ll want to visit us at Stanley Ford McGregor. If you’re located near McGregor, Temple, or Waco, you’ll want to make the short drive to our dealership. Once you arrive, our parts department will help you find a set of tires that fits your needs.

What Makes EV Tires Different?

While EV tires might look like regular run-of-the-mill tires, they’re designed to deal with harsher conditions.

Drowning Out the Noise: Car engines are usually loud enough to drown out the outside noise. Since EVs don’t have an engine though, the tires are designed to be quiet.
Improved Traction: EV models need to be able to grip the road, as they usually offer incredibly fast acceleration. You’ll find that this also improves your handling when you’re out and about.
Supporting Your EV: It’s easy to forget just how heavy EV models are due to their batteries, motors, and design. You’ll need tires that can withstand a significant amount of weight.
Less Rolling Resistance: If your tires had one major enemy, it would be friction. EV tires are designed to minimize the friction that you’ll be dealing with so that they can last longer.

Keep Your Tread in Shape at Stanley Ford McGregor

EV tires wear away quickly, so if you’re trying to make sure that you get every last mile out of your current set, you’ll want to make sure that you’re staying on top of your tire services.

Align Your Tires: Your tires are designed to take on the road at a specific angle. If your car is lifted or you bump into a curb, it can throw this angle off, resulting in more friction.
Don’t Skip Your Rotations: Rotating your tires is important, as each tire is going to be dealing with a different amount of friction over time.
Make Sure Your Tires are Balanced: Tires are often different weights, which can result in bouncing on the road. When our mechanics balance them, they’ll be making sure that they maintain contact with the terrain as you drive.

If your tires are struggling on the road, you’ll want to schedule your next service with Stanley Ford McGregor.
