Do Electric Car Tires Wear More Quickly? | EV Basics
People say electric vehicles require WAY LESS maintenance than combustion-powered cars and trucks, and it’s true, except in one critical area.

In today’s EV Basics, we’ll dive into why that is, what you can do to increase the life of your tires, and whether you should purchase EV-specific tires.
