The Dimax R8+ is also suitable for EVs, with EV compatible size variants featuring a special low rolling resistance compound.

They do exactly what I expected from the rating which was A rated in the rain and from the reviews from other customers. I am really pleased with this budget tyres and they were a lot cheaper than the premium ones so I can get two lots of four for the price of one set of four premium brand tyres.
