Interesting:
" First, it’s important to note that a dedicated EV tire and a so-called regular tire that’s Electric Vehicle Tuned are two entirely different things.
A dedicated EV tire, like the Hankook Ion family of tires, is a tire specifically designed with decreased levels of rolling resistance, lower rolling-noise, and high resilience.
These EV-specific tires have a contact patch optimized for the heaver load of an EV car and have stiffer and thicker sidewalls to compensate for an EV’s inherent heavier curb weight.
All an “Electric Vehicle Tuned” tire is, on the other hand, is a standard tire with an inner layer of foam literally glued inside to reduce vibrations and muffle noise resonance, that’s it.
There’s also the chance, that the foam can delaminate causing vibration and balance issues which completely negates the cost and benefits of adding foam to begin with. "
