How to choose the best tyres: a complete guide

Which tyre to choose? A quick summary to help you choose:

Low-profile tyres

Low-profile tyres are wider and more suitable for heavy loads because they have more contact surface area on the ground. If you want to improve the stability of your vehicle, low-profile tyres are the right choice. These approved tyres are available for both front and rear axles and are compatible with the 330 E/ED/EH/EDH and 340 E/ED/EH/EDH models. Thanks to the lower profile, the contact surface with the asphalt increases, ensuring greater road holding. Having a stiffer shoulder, these tyres improve steering precision. Low-profile tyres tend to offer slightly less ride comfort than conventional tyres, especially on bumpy roads.

Road tyres

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

Winter tyres

When the cold weather arrives and the roads become slippery, you better be ready. Winter tyres, which are approved for road use, are available for all models and offer increased safety in snow and ice. Be careful, however: if you plan to make a seasonal tyre change, it is important to match them only with standard summer tyres of the same size. This ensures a balanced and safe drive. The compound and tread pattern of winter tyres help prevent skidding. In wet and cold conditions, the braking distance is significantly shorter than with summer tyres. In many areas, winter tyres or chains are mandatory in winter.

Turf tyres: perfect for green spaces, but not for the road

Turf tyres are the ideal choice for those who use electric vehicles on lawns, golf courses or grassy surfaces. Their design is designed to avoid damaging the ground by distributing the weight evenly. However, there is one important detail: they are not approved for road use. So, if you need tyres for work in fields or gardens, they are perfect, but you cannot use them on roads.

Off-Road Tyres

If your vehicle is destined for rough terrain, mud, gravel and challenging trails, off-road tyres are for you. Designed to provide maximum traction even in the toughest conditions, they are ideal for off-roading. The deep tread pattern improves grip on slippery or uneven surfaces. The reinforced structure makes them more resistant to punctures and impacts. These tyres have maximum grip in difficult conditions and are therefore perfect for mud, gravel and rocky terrain. The only disadvantage is that they are not approved for road use, so they should only be used privately or on authorised routes.

Off-road tyres approved for road use

For those who need to use their electric vehicle on difficult terrain but also want a versatile solution, there are off-road tyres approved for road use. These tyres combine the characteristics of off-road models with greater adaptability to asphalt, making them ideal for those who alternate between off-road and urban routes. Off-road tyres approved for on-road use have improved grip on mixed surfaces, excellent traction on gravel, but also perform safely on asphalt. They are impact and off-road resistant. Road type-approval makes them perfect for those who frequently travel between city and off-road routes without having to change tyres. If you are looking for an all-rounder, these tyres could be the right solution for you.
