MINERVA
Product Description
Redefining EV Performance Through Advanced Technology.
The Minerva E-Speed 2 is the next evolution in EV-focused tyre engineering. Designed specifically for the demands of electric vehicles—instant torque, increased vehicle weight and the expectation of near-silent refinement—it delivers exceptional cornering response, wet-weather confidence and enhanced energy efficiency.
With integrated foam technology to suppress cavity resonance, paired with advanced pitch-variation acoustics, the E-Speed 2 provides an impressively quiet cabin experience even at motorway speeds. Its new tread design, featuring the 3D Aqua-Slash System and high-rigidity shoulder blocks, ensures confident handling and stability whether navigating city streets or sweeping bends.
Engineered to offer a strong cost-to-performance value, the E-Speed 2 brings premium EV benefits to everyday drivers wanting a smoother, quieter and more efficient electric motoring experience.
