Little O Tire specializes in select services for electric vehicles. We provide EV tire service, brake repair, and wheel alignments—three services with special significance for owners of electric vehicles due to the cost-saving potential.
Tires for Electric Vehicles: Selecting replacement tires for an electric vehicle involves different considerations compared to traditional gas-powered vehicles. Electric vehicles are known for their torque, tend to be heavier than their gas-powered counterparts, and offer a more quiet ride. As a result, EV tires usually feature low-rolling resistance compounds and tread designs that decrease noise. They also have a heavier load index. However, electric car tires tend to wear out faster, so tire maintenance is especially important. At Little O Tire, we understand the unique needs of electric vehicle owners and will assist with everything from electric vehicle tire sales and installations to rotations and wheel alignments.
Brake Repair for Electric Vehicles: Regenerative braking is a key feature in electric vehicles, with many manufacturers touting one-pedal driving. With regenerative braking, an electric vehicle's traditional brakes won't require engagement as often. This means EV owners don't need to replace brake parts as frequently. However, minimal brake maintenance is still important. In addition, less frequent traditional braking may lead to the electric vehicle's brakes seizing or the premature corrosion of brake rotors. Little O Tire is available to assist with your electric vehicle brake repair and maintenance needs.
Alignments for Electric Vehicles: Wheel alignments can help keep EV tire costs down. When a vehicle is in alignment, it reduces tire wear and ensures it handles as the manufacturer intended. Because wheel alignments play such a prominent role in tire longevity, it's recommended to have the a vehicle's alignment inspected before installing new tires. Routine alignment checks can also help you keep your electric vehicle at its best throughout the year.
