What is a Soft EVA Tyre?

Updated: 14.4.25

Soft EVA tyres—also known as foam rubber tyres—are becoming increasingly popular in the world of kids' ride-on toys. Favoured for their quiet, smooth ride, they offer an excellent balance of comfort and performance.

Made from a high-quality, elastic rubber-like material, these tyres are designed to mimic the feel of natural rubber while remaining lightweight. At their core is dense EVA foam—short for ethylene vinyl acetate—a durable, shock-absorbing compound also commonly used in footwear and yoga mats.

Advantages of EVA Tyres

• Provides a smoother, quieter, and more comfortable ride on various surfaces.
• Long-lasting and resistant to cracking or splitting.
• Offers better handling and grip compared to Grippmoz tyres.

Are There Any Disadvantages?

In general, EVA tyres are considered an upgrade over standard plastic or Grippmoz tyres, with no notable drawbacks for everyday use. They’re ideal for parents looking to enhance comfort and performance without the added maintenance of full rubber tyres.
