There’s a lot to know about the difference between electric vehicle (EV) tires and tires made for traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.
During this webinar, four EV and tire experts will break down the design differences between ICE vs EV tires, the life wear of EV tires, and what customers should expect when purchasing EV tires vs tires for ICE vehicles, including price ranges and more.
You’ll hear from Karen Salvaggio, VP of Business Development at Scorpion EV; Brenton Murray, Founder and CEO of Electruck424.com; John McDonough, Senior Product Manager, Competition & Specialty Tires at Mickey Thompson; Gary Ruede, Product and Quality Management Technologist at Discount Tire; and Tyson Boyer, Senior Director of Sales, Key Accounts, Dill Air Valves, who will serve as moderator.
