Tire companies came up with a clever combo - different rubber compound with a new thread pattern design. The result is a tire that has a lower resistance in forward motion bur grips as hard as traditional tire when breaking and it has great lateral grip as well. Almost as magic but it's all clever science. Lightyear went further and combined both - narrow tire and low resistance compound, one of the few clever ways they managed to get such a high range from such a small battery.

What makes the tyres low resistance? Are they narrow? The acceleration is good enough and not overkill so the brakes probably don't need so much space. So are the tyres something like 185/65R15?

I would like to see more knowledge about the tyres and their profiles. They are probably the second most important thing when it comes to energy consumption (the number one thing being the driving style).

The Arenaev info sheets usually only mention the wheel diameter.
