\n<\/p>\n

Michelin\u00a0recently launched two types of tires in China, specifically made for electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

The new tires are meant to show Michelin\u2019s \u201cconcern for Chinese consumers and the company\u2019s development strategy,\u201d Shanghai Daily<\/a> reports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But\u2026 why would EVs need special tires to begin with?<\/p>\n

Well,\u00a0it all boils down to weight. EVs general<\/a>ly weigh more than gasguzzlers, which means they wear tires down much faster. Also, worn tires will reduce the cars\u2019 range, so there\u2019s a lot to win by preventing that from happ<\/a>ening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michelin aims to tackle these exact issues with the e.PRIMACY and the Pilot Sport EV tires, designed for high-performance and sports electric cars.<\/p>\n

The e.PRIMACY is made for both fuel-powered and battery-powered vehicles, and thanks to its low rolling resistance it can increase an EV\u2019s range by approximately 7% (30km for a\u00a0vehicle range of 400km).<\/p>\n

The real game<\/a>-changer though is the Pilot Sport EV tire, specifically addressing the needs of electric sports cars.<\/p>\n

According to Michelin, it features optimal grip on dry and wet roads, taking into account\u00a0the higher weight and weight-distribution characteristics associated with EV\u00a0sports cars.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, it\u2019s claimed to be wear-resistant in response to the high torque and acceleration forces, while it offers very low rolling resistance, increasing the range by up to 60km.<\/p>\n

Thee Pilot Sport EV tires are also designed to have 20% less road noise, thanks to a custom-developed polyurethane foam that muffles sounds. That\u2019s an important attribute given that the tires are the loudest part of electric vehicles which are otherwise doing a great job at reducing noise pollution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the e.PRIMACy tires are focusing more on the European market, the Pilot Sport EV alternative will be available in both\u00a0Europe and North America by the end of 2021.<\/p>\n\n
