Electric Vehicle Tyres
Are you switching from fuel to electric? You’re not alone. More of us are making greener vehicle choices—but moving to an eco-friendly car brings big changes.
Electric cars are heavy, fast, and designed for high-range journeys, so your tyres face additional pressure while driving. That’s why choosing the right tyres is essential for ensuring your eco vehicle is efficient. At Halfords, we’re here to help. We stock tons of EV tyres designed with longevity and performance in mind.

Electric tyres explained
Yes. Electric cars are very different from ICE vehicles, so they need tyres equipped to handle additional challenges, including increased weight, lower noise, shortened braking distances, and greater wear and tear.
Choosing the right set of tyres is essential for any vehicle you own. It depends on the type of vehicle, how you drive, where, and in what conditions. For electric cars, you should also consider factors such as:
- Size and weight: EV tyres should be lightweight to avoid adding extra weight to the heavy vehicle, yet sturdy enough to power the car’s weight.
- Durability: High instant torque means EVs have fast acceleration power, which, alongside extra weight, puts tyres at greater risk of wear and tear. You’ll need tyres that can handle fast speeds and heavy vehicles for longer miles.
- Large van tyres
- Road grip: EVs come with shortened braking distances due to the added weight of batteries. As such, tyres should have enhanced road grip to increase contact and lower braking distances, especially at high speeds.
- Noise levels: Noise-cancelling technology is essential in EVs designed for quieter, low-emission journeys.
- Campervan tyres
- Rolling resistance: Rolling resistance on EV tyres should be low to enhance acceleration performance and power the heavy vehicle.
EV tyres cost the same as traditional ICE tyres. However, certain brands or types of tyres offer premium features, which may increase prices.
You should stick to tyres designed specifically for electric and hybrid cars. These tyres are manufactured to optimise the performance and safety of your vehicle, such as reduced rolling resistance and shorter braking distances.
EV cars are growing in popularity, which means you can purchase EV tyres from many well-known manufacturers. At Halfords, we stock a vast range of EV tyres from major brands, including Michelin, Bridgestone, Continental, and Hankook.
No. You’d think EV tyres are susceptible to greater wear and tear due to powering the vehicle's weight and supporting faster acceleration. But that’s why they’re designed for EV cars: they can withstand the vehicle’s pressure and handle higher instant torque. If you used conventional tyres on an electric vehicle, you’d notice they wear more quickly because they’re not manufactured for low-emission cars.
