High -end tires for dynamic SUVs, this already exists.But with electric SUVs, the constraints change.The first specific charging index tires for battery SUV are currently produced by continental.
Reconciling performance and high load index is a complex task for tire manufacturers, who have a choice to make: low sizes but a lower charging index, or a load constraint, and therefore a tire profile higher.But with the electric car stands a new challenge in front of the manufacturers: producing sports and high -end tires with load indices as high as larger profile tires.
Continental has just created a brand new label for its high -end electric SUV rides called "HL" for "High Load".Concretely, this is a higher load index of 101 (up to 825 kg) in 19 inches, on tires usually limited to 98 (750 kg).The gain even goes up to 25 % on lower range tires thanks to this new special "electric SUV" range, even if we imagine that these tires will also be intended for sedans or coupes, as long as weightis very important.
For Continental, like others, the high -end electric car represents a real challenge: producing ever larger and low -waisted tires, while maintaining a high level of safety and performance...
