EV Design

EV DESIGN denotes tyres that have been engineered to meet the specific requirements of electric vehicles. These tyres use innovative materials and the latest findings from research and development to successfully reconcile conflicting design objectives. They are distinguished by the "EV DESIGN" tyre marking.

Electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids carry additional weight in the form of batteries. EV DESIGN tyres’ specially adapted design compensates for these increased requirements. The high torque of the vehicles’ electric motors imposes additional stress on the tyres. To counteract the increased wear caused by frequent acceleration and recuperation, our tyres feature an advanced tread design and tread compound which provide extra resilience to the "heel and toe" wear pattern that is typical of electrically powered vehicles.

Low rolling resistance is crucial for maximising vehicle range. The state-of-the-art materials and adapted lower-weight design of EV DESIGN tyres enable energy consumption per 100 km to be reduced without compromising on wet grip, which conflicts with rolling resistance. Tyres with the "EV DESIGN" marking stand for safety, ride comfort and maximum range, and showcase the specific characteristics of electric and hybrid vehicles.
