Interesting that All Season tyres seem so very popular in US. Here in France I have been advised to not even think about it, due to the hot summers, where the rubber would soften too much with all seasons. That would result in worse brake performance and higher tyre wear. In Sweden some testers have determined that they are directly dangerous there and authorities have advised against using them. One test a knowledge they were a compromise, with the worst handling compared to summer tyres and the worst handling compared to winters. And the tests are not linked to or done by any tyre manufacturer. Of course the All Seasons performed better that summer tyres in winter condition.

My car i4 e35 was delivered with Hankook tyres 18inch, and so far I have found them very good. No idea on how long they will last, but I am hopeful.
Here is a link to a tyre test for EV cars. Not necessarily all tyres are EV specific, but a mixture.
The most interesting part is that the specific Michelin tyre for EV performed way worse than the normal Sport 4 SUV tyre. Michelin did not even suggest to include that tyre in the EV test and sent the standard SUV tyre instead.

Hankook tyres performed quite well in the test I think, so looking forward to using them
