Low Rolling Resistance. To maximize range, EV manufacturers generally demand tires tuned for low rolling resistance. The push for lower rolling resistance tires is not new or exclusive to EVs. To meet CAFÉ (Corporate Average Fuel Economy/US Department of Transportation) fuel economy targets, vehicle manufacturers have been asking for low rolling resistance tires for decades.
Low Noise. Because EVs generate less noise, the noise produced by the interaction of the tire and road is more intrusive. Tires tuned for EVs offer the highest refinement in noise, often combined with other noise reduction technologies such as MICHELIN Acoustic. These noise reduction technologies focus on a specific type of noise, generated on certain road surfaces. You may notice the difference, depending on the roads you drive.
