AN expert mechanic with years of experience has revealed electric car tyres aren’t worth it.
While EVs may have some advantages, such as lower maintenance costs, quieter and more boot space than their gas-guzzling counterparts, there are downsides too.
Veteran mechanic Scotty Kilmer took to his YouTube page and explained in a recent video why EV drivers might have to put up with having to buy relatively expensive tyres more often.
The expert said that all-electric vehicles are heavier than their petrol-powered alternative and that the tyres are the same size.
That means that if you’re an EV driver, your car needs rubber rings with a higher weight rating and so the tyres will wear out faster.
