With over 45 years of expertise and five service centres across Peakhurst, Narellan, Corrimal, Warilla, and Cabramatta, Blairs Tyres & Autocare is proud to support Australia's transition to electric mobility. As electric vehicles (EVs) become more common, so does the need for tyres and wheels tailored to their unique demands.
Why EVs Need Specialised Tyres and Wheels
EVs are typically heavier than internal combustion engine vehicles due to their battery packs. This increased weight requires tyres with stronger sidewalls and higher load ratings to ensure safety and performance. Additionally, the instant torque delivery of EVs can wear tyres faster if the right compounds and tread patterns aren't used.
Wheels for EVs must also support regenerative braking systems and may need to accommodate larger disc brakes. Aerodynamics play a significant role too — many EV wheels are designed to reduce drag and improve efficiency.
