How to choose the best tyres: a complete guide

Low-profile road tyres are wider and suitable for heavy loads as they have a larger contact patch with the road surface. If you want to improve the stability of your vehicle, low-profile road tyres are the right choice. These type-approved tyres are available for both the front and rear axles and are compatible with the 340 E/ED/EH/EDH models. Thanks to their lower profile, the contact area with the road surface increases, ensuring better road holding. With a stiffer sidewall, these tyres improve steering precision. Low-profile tyres tend to offer slightly less ride comfort than traditional tyres, especially on uneven roads.

If you’re looking for a good balance between performance and comfort, standard road tyres are an excellent choice. Available for all models, these tyres ensure a smooth and reliable ride in all road conditions. Approved road tyres are suitable for all types of road and weather conditions (except ice and extreme snow). They absorb road imperfections better than low-profile tyres. The tread is designed to ensure a long service life without excessive wear.

When the cold weather sets in and the roads become slippery, it’s best to be prepared. Winter tyres, approved for road use, are available for all models and offer greater safety in snow and ice. Please note, however: if you plan to change your tyres for the season, it is important to fit them only with standard summer tyres of the same size. This ensures a balanced and safe ride. The rubber compound and tread pattern of winter tyres help prevent skidding. In wet and cold conditions, braking distances are significantly reduced compared to summer tyres. In many areas, it is compulsory to fit winter tyres or carry snow chains in the car during the winter.

Turf tyres are the ideal choice for anyone using an electric vehicle on lawns, golf courses or grassy surfaces. Their tread pattern is designed to prevent damage to the ground by distributing weight evenly. However, there is one important detail: they are not approved for use on public roads. So, if you need tyres for working in fields or gardens, they’re perfect, but you cannot use them on the road. These tyres are only available for vehicles in the ATX3 range.

For those who need to use their electric vehicle on challenging terrain but also want a versatile solution, there are off-road tyres approved for road use. Available for all models, these tyres combine the characteristics of off-road tyres with greater adaptability to tarmac, making them ideal for those who alternate between unpaved tracks and urban routes. Off-road tyres approved for road use offer improved grip on mixed surfaces, excellent traction on unpaved tracks, whilst also delivering safe performance on tarmac. They are resistant to impacts and the stresses of off-road driving. Their road-legal status makes them perfect for those who frequently travel between urban areas and off-road routes without having to change tyres. If you’re looking for an all-round option, these tyres could be the right solution for you.

All-season tyres, available for all models, offer a versatile and efficient solution for those who drive all year round in both urban and non-urban environments. These tyres provide good grip in a variety of weather conditions, reducing the need for seasonal tyre changes. Furthermore, they help to optimise running costs and ensure continuity.

The alloy wheels, available for all models in the ATX4 range, offer a solution that combines functionality and aesthetics. Thanks to their slightly lower weight compared to standard wheels, they help to improve the vehicle’s efficiency and enhance its performance – aspects that are particularly important for electric vehicles intended for commercial use. As well as ensuring high durability and reliability even in the most demanding applications, the alloy wheels give the Alkè ATX4 a modern and distinctive look, reinforcing the professional image of the vehicle in any operational context.
