I don’t quite think the tyres are for EV vehicle. Although it said when I got them EV ready. Compared to Hancook tyres it provides limited rim protection. But what is defiantly noticeable is that the range decreased quite a bit once I started driving. I don’t think it would be noticeable as they rated C against B of the original tyres but it is noticeable quite a bit. I feel like I lost about 10% of typical range.

I only use them on track and hill climbs (and getting to/from events). They are doing well, felt bad for the first 50 miles in torrents of rain then bedded in and gave great confidence. Nearly as good as Avon zzs (no longer available).

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.
WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
For speeds over 160mph (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.
Y-Speed Rated Sizes:
| Maximum Speed (mph) | 118 | 124 | 130 | 136 | 143 | 149 | 155 | 161 | 168 | 174 | 180 | 186 |
| Inflation Increase (psi) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1.5 | 3 | 4.5 | 6 | 7.5 | 7.5 | 7.5 | 7.5 |
| Load Capacity (% of max.) | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 95 | 90 | 85 |
For speeds above 186 mph (300 kph), consult your vehicle manufacturer and tire dealer.
Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
