As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to grow in popularity across Australia, many drivers are discovering that these modern machines come with their own unique servicing requirements—especially when it comes to tyres. At McCall's Mechanical and Tyres, we understand the specific needs of EV drivers and are here to ensure your vehicle performs safely, efficiently, and reliably on the road.

• Heavier Vehicles: EVs typically weigh more due to the battery packs. This added weight means EV tyres need to handle more pressure and stress, requiring tougher construction and stronger sidewalls.
• Instant Torque: One of the defining features of electric vehicles is their ability to deliver instant torque. While this provides exhilarating acceleration, it also leads to faster tyre wear if not properly managed with the right tyres.
• Quieter Ride: Because EVs are so quiet, tyre noise becomes more noticeable. EV-specific tyres are designed with special tread patterns and compounds to reduce road noise, contributing to a smoother, more comfortable ride

Here’s why regular EV tyre checks and timely replacements matter:

• Efficiency: Worn tyres or incorrect tyre pressure can lower your EV’s range by increasing rolling resistance.
• Safety: With the extra weight and performance characteristics of EVs, tyre condition directly impacts braking performance and road grip.
• Longevity: Regular checks can help you catch uneven wear early, allowing for rotations or alignments that extend the life of your tyres.

Our experienced staff are trained to assess your vehicle’s specific requirements and can advise on the best options for your driving habits and local road conditions. Whether you need a full tyre replacement, a simple rotation, or just some expert advice, we’re here to help.
