EV & Hybrid Tyres – Ashby

Driving with worn, damaged or even under-inflated tyres represents one of the biggest dangers faced by road users today.

It’s not worth the risk of points on your driving licence or a fine, or being held responsible for an accident, for the sake of a set of tyres that could easily be replaced relatively inexpensively. At Castle Garage EV in Ashby, we offer customers excellent choices of tyres to suit every budget, from standard essentials right up to premium brands.

Our modern workshop in Ashby means Castle Garage EV can supply and fit tyres, and also carry out wheel balancing to ensure your new tyres deliver the ultimate in performance and comfort. We have a team of highly experienced technicians who have in-depth knowledge about tyres and how to get the most out of them for your vehicle.

When choosing tyres for your electric or hybrid vehicle, you might wonder whether to opt for EV-specific tyres or standard ones.

Why Use EV-Specific Tyres?

EV tyres are designed to handle the extra weight of the battery, offering stronger sidewalls and improved durability. They also reduce rolling resistance, helping to maximise battery range. Additionally, they are engineered for a quieter ride, reducing road noise — essential for near-silent EVs.

Why Not Use EV-Specific Tyres?

Some drivers choose standard tyres to save money, as EV tyres can be more expensive. If you drive a lighter hybrid or mainly in urban areas, the benefits of EV tyres may be less noticeable. However, using standard tyres may result in faster wear, lower efficiency, and more road noise.

At Castle Garage EV, we can help you find the right tyres for your hybrid or EV, balancing performance, comfort, and cost.

Many people are unsure about when their tyres should be replaced and whether to get a different type to those they previously had fitted. Here at Castle Garage EV, we will be happy to offer impartial advice without any obligation whatsoever. Don’t risk a puncture – or something worse – contact or visit us at our Ashby workshop today.
