Why Electric Vehicle Drivers Need Tires Made for EVs

Just as manufacturers develop specific tires to suit different driving styles and segments, electric vehicles also need to be outfitted with specific tires to maximize safety and performance. EVs are at their best when equipped with tires designed to reduce rolling resistance to secure maximum driving distance and minimize charging. However, many of today’s tire

Teslas need high-quality replacement units to withstand the hefty curb weight

What is the deal with replacing wheel bearings on a Tesla Model X or S? Do you need insulated tools? High-voltage gloves? No. But, two steps are a little different than most vehicles. The Model X and Model S use Gen 3 Hub units with the preload set at the factory using orbital forming.  To
