HYBRID CAR TYRES
The best tyres for hybrids
Choosing the right tyres for a hybrid can make a real difference to comfort, efficiency, and safety. Hybrid cars are generally quieter on the road, so tyre noise can be more noticeable, and they benefit from energy-saving tyres with low rolling resistance, helping to save fuel and extend battery range. The best hybrid tyres strike a balance between quietness, efficiency, and durability, giving you a smoother, more comfortable ride while making the most of your car’s performance.
Do hybrids need special tyres?
Hybrid cars don’t legally require special tyres – as long as the tyre is the right size and meets the correct speed and load ratings, it’s road-legal. However, tyres designed specifically for hybrids are recommended if you want to get the most from your vehicle.
The main benefit of hybrid-optimised tyres is energy efficiency, helping to extend battery range or improve fuel economy. They’re also quieter, which is important because the cabin is much quieter when the electric motor is running, making road and tyre noise more noticeable. Finally, they offer reliable grip and durability to handle the extra weight and unique driving characteristics of hybrids, keeping your car safe and consistent on every journey.
In short, hybrid tyres help your car stay efficient, comfortable, and secure.
