Subaru Solterra Tires Near Portsmouth, NH

Solterra EV Tires vs. ICE Tires

Tire maintenance is the most significant maintenance item for electric vehicles (EVs) since they don't need oil changes or other services typical of vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICE) or regular gas vehicles. While you don't necessarily need a special set of tires, investing in EV-specific tires is smart to help your tires last longer.

EVs are heavier due to the large battery packs and produce nearly instantaneous torque, which causes extra friction during acceleration - both contribute to additional tread wear. To get the most from your set of tires, choose a tire specially formulated for the Subaru Solterra EV.

Our experts in the Service Center can help you select the right tire for your EV by selecting a tire with the following attributes:


Robust Materials for Added Grip and Stability

Not only is tread important for added traction, but the material of the tires is just as significant and plays a big role in reducing wear while enhancing grip and stability.

Rated for Heavy Loads

Since EVs are so heavy, tires will resist wear if they are rated for heavier loads.


Tread Pattern Optimized for Rolling Resistance

One of the biggest differences between EV-specific and regular tires is that the tread pattern is uniquely designed to resist rolling and improve the overall range.

Sound Absorption

Since EVs like the Subaru Solterra are extremely quiet, choosing a tire that is good at absorbing excess road noise is important to your ride quality.
