There are a couple of good videos that have come out discussing the unique factors to consider in EV tires:
Best Off Road / AT Tires for EV Trucks
Wondering if anyone has a good resource for comparing Off-Road / All-Terrain tires specifically for EV trucks. Leaving out aesthetics for this discussion, I'd like to know if there has been any significant off-road testing across the major brands for EV trucks. I've been trying to piece together limited information from the various online tire sites and there seems to be a lack of meaningful data. There are some metrics that are obvious for off-road / AT tires like performance in certain conditions (snow, wet, mud, severe weather, etc), however there are other criteria that should likely be considered when buying tires specifically for EV trucks:
- Tire weight (at least close to OEM tires - many are as much as 50% heavier)
- Load capacity (especially sidewall strength to support the extra vehicle weight over the life of the tire)
- Noise level (a quieter cabin on roadways is a nice perk in owning an EV truck)
- Range impact (with amore aggressive tread pattern, how much reduction in range should be expected?)

I haven’t seen anything like that yet.Thanks ChasingCoral. Appreciate your reply and your moderation on this Forum.
These videos are great info about EV tires in general, however they are all car/small SUV focused.
Is there similar information specifically for off-road EV truck tires?
