There was a BEV tire or EV tire that was to improve EV range by 5-10%. It was not a std tire and it was to be available from a major tire manufacturer.
Anyone know about a new EV tire soon to come out that has improved EV range?

There are a lot of options for Low Rolling Resistance tires by various manufacturers. That is what is usually recommended for the best range, as far as tires go.

Yes
A new tire to come out this year that would give EVs a 5-10% EV range increase. It was a major tire manufacture that was coming out with a special EV tire. I read some where a few months back about a new EV tire that was to increase EV range.

I’m no engineer but the only way I could see that would increase range is to make them with less road contact. (skinnier?)Road contact is needed though for braking and grip in turns. I certainly don’t see how to increase the range by 15%. If that was the case, Tesla would have already been all over it.

Tires have many characteristics that can be changed. Tires that have a stiffer compound have less rolling resistance. That doesn't necessarily mean they have less surface touching the road. And less surface doesn't necessarily mean poorer performance.

Now You Know
Yutube stuff one of Now You Know News (NYK) gigs in past skits Zac and Jesse both talked about a China aid of an Major Tire Company coming out with a special EV increased range tire.
Again
It was talked about on NYK and Zac and Jesse' even showed the China aid with China scrip.
Question?
Anyone know the # or date of the Now You Know News gig that those guys where discussing special new China
Long Range EV Tire.

Tesla have a sliver in time to iterate over the EV truck tire. Cybertruck goes low-rider close to the ground-to-lifted 4x4 rock crawling clearance. All that wheel travel presents new opportunities.

On the lowend, smoothe ride, high miler performance with curb appeal ‘good looks’ side profile.
On the high end, heavy sidewall castles, deep lugs and self-cleaning tread with monster profile writ large.

Tesla have battery, onboard air, dynamic suspension, dual CPU, and AI layers within which to innovate. Its an opportunity to differentiate the brand in a totally new and in a unique way like no other manufacturer can.

In an invented reality its completely new technology. One that transfigures autonomously, configures modally and self-stabilizes performance in profiles which stomps OEM magical realism narratives into the last century.

In one extreme it could literally be rolling on folded sidewall cum high miler tread. At the other extreme high miler tread would literally be support sidewall to monster lugs and castles.

In-between secret sauce compound rubber applied at lug corners could avail some super engineered performance. Half-deployed these babies afford grippy traction not seen since “studs” were a thing. Except this new thing is cyber, Tesla and Cybertruck exclusive option.
