EV-specific Prototype Tire From Michelin



Michelin recently unveiled a concept tire specially engineered for electric vehicles. According to the company, the tire achieves energy efficiency, maximum grip (especially in challenging driving conditions), and a long wear life. On top of that, it also offers a quiet ride so should be good for the EVs which are relatively noise-free.

The tire incorporates the latest technology in tread rubber with new silica compounds, a new tire profile designed specifically for urban use, and a specific tread design optimizing the surface of rubber in contact with the road. (SB)
