There are two things that send drivers rushing to the dealership: the first snowfall of the year and consistent temperatures above 7°C/45°F.

Happily, those of us in North America find ourselves in the midst of the latter.

It’s officially spring from coast-to-coast-to-coast. That means it’s time to take the winters off your vehicles and put on summer tires.

And, this year, Sailun Tire is pleased to announce a new extended warranty on its Erange tire line for electric and hybrid vehicles that covers your tires up to 80,000 kilometres (50,000 miles) or 60 months.

Why get EV tires?

It’s a common question we hear from drivers: why do I need special tires for my electric vehicles?

We get it: no one likes to spend money on tires. And the idea of getting a “special” kit for an EV can seem like too much trouble.

But getting the right tires for your vehicle — be it combustion, zero-emission or hybrid — is like finding the right salt garnish to finish your favourite dish or putting tortilla chips in your burrito for that satisfying crunch.

The rules of the kitchen apply to the rules of the road. The right tires will bring out the performance and capabilities of your vehicle while generic add ons will feel, well, generic.

For EVs, you want a tire that leans into features like regenerative braking, faster acceleration and quieter cabin.

Erange EV tire extended warranty

You may be a new EV owner or received the news that your old all-seasons have seen their last season. Either way you may be considering purchasing a set of Erange tires for the spring swap.

In addition to the new longer warranty, Erange offers some other perks for EV drivers with this dedicated EV tire.

The first is that Erange tires are purpose-built for an EV’s extra weight. They have increased load index to improve handling and reliably cover a heavier carry capacity required and an advanced tread pattern to maximize grip on the road.

To account for the extra torque of EVs, Erange tires have specially formulated rubber compounds that offer better wear resistance (which means less tire replacements) along with low rolling resistance to enhance your EVs efficiency.

And, on the noise side, Erange utilizes SilentTread technology and a variable pitch sequence to provide one of the quietest rides available.

The whole package combines to result in one major benefit to EV drivers: increased range.

In tests, Tesla Model 3’s on Erange EV tires saw at least seven per cent more in battery life per charge. This yields an additional 30-40 kilometres (18-24 miles) in range.

Erange is now available in 35 sizes that cover over 80 per cent of EVs on the road today. There are also future plans for additional sizes.
