Goodyear Releases New EV Tire For Electric Metro Buses
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on The Buzz EV News.
This is the sub-heading.
The new Urban Max BSAEV tire was designed in partnership with heavy-duty transit bus manufacturer Gillig.
This is the first paragraph.
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has introduced its newest EV-ready tire for buses and transit fleets. The new Urban Max BSAEV (bus service all-position) tire was designed in partnership with Gillig, a manufacturer of American-built heavy-duty transit buses. The Urban Max BSAEV is the first Goodyear tire engineered specifically with low rolling resistance for EV transit and metro buses to help extend range and handle the increased load capacity, the company says.
This is an idea that could roll a long way.
Does your EV have low rolling resistance tyres?

I would expect that the tyres for any EV would be designed to account for the additional weight, especially id expect the sidewalls to be stiffer.
