Thanks for the post, Guy. I notice their initial tire size will not fit Apterae. It’s important for us to remember when it comes time to replace tires on our Aptera that the tire is formulated for LRR. Of course, that general category has been around for some time.

From what I have found from Michelin and Goodyear, both using materials for heavier electric vehicles, there is no more noise than air tires with the same specifications. There is considerable misinformation out there, so I went to the factory sources for the information I have found.

Please note, both manufactures are testing on real world vehicles already.
