Executive Summary

EVs are heavy and have instant torque. Standard tires wear out 30% faster. New EV-specific tires reduce noise and extend range by minimizing rolling resistance.

The Weight Penalty

Battery packs make EVs 20-30% heavier than gas cars. This puts immense stress on tire sidewalls. EV tires are reinforced with stronger synthetic fibers to handle this load without compromising handling.

Silent Running

Without an engine noise to mask it, road noise becomes obvious in an EV. Manufacturers like Michelin and Continental use acoustic foam inserts inside the tire to dampen the "cavity resonance" sound. It is a hidden technology layer.

The Range Equation

Low Rolling Resistance (LRR) compounds are critical. A bad set of tires can reduce EV range by 10%. Fleet managers need data on which tires provide the best cost-per-mile. EV.NET is the data hub for these consumable comparisons.

Strategic Opportunity

Own the Digital Infrastructure

As the market for Tires matures, authoritative digital real estate becomes scarce. EV.NET is the category-defining asset for this sector.
