Myth vs. Reality:
“EVs wear tires down faster than gas cars”
@teamuveye just published a graph containing tire data from over 100K vehicles…
The result?
Reality — EVs consistently received more tire tread depth alerts than ICE cars, especially as the vehicles aged.
But before we jump to conclusions… 2 key takeaways:
1. Tires are one part of total vehicle ownership costs where EVs underperform. That said, important to show both sides and note that EVs outperform ICE vehicles in other aspects of ownership.
2. There is a huge (and growing) opportunity for dealers and independent repair shops to expand their business through tire sales.

What do tires and milk have in common?
They both expire.
Top 5 states with the highest % of *expired* tires on the road:

3. Ohio 12%
2. California 16%
1. Maryland 18% (!)
Data collected by UVeye, who scans over 350,000 vehicles per month across the U.S.
If you live in one of these states, there’s a good chance you need a new pair of shoes for your car.
And if you’re a dealership or service center, this presents a big opportunity for you.
