Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Not sure on this one. EV tyres are designed for heavier vehicles with faster power delivery. The difference to fuel consumption on a non-ev would be minimal, if at all…
They shouldn't do any harm as long as the size is right though

Just remember that some EV tyres come with 6mm of tread compared to 8mm on non EV designed tyres.
Already a thread (no pun) here:

Some standard tyres come with 6mm thread also. Absolutely no addition to your car OP, Only harder on the wallet.
