Can any tire handle the heavy lifting of any EV truck or SUV? The answer is get used to buying new tires every couple years, if that.

    Dry performance is also handling… If you don’t want those 7k pounds “trucks” driving off the road when taking a curve then softer compound it is.

      Yes, once you have inertia built up, you need friction between the vehicle and the road (via the tires) in order to come to a stop, or change direction. A 7000 lb vehicle is always going to eat tires.

        Well, I’m sure it doesn’t help that the stupid shape probably provides the opposite of downforce.
