> By the way, there are EV tyres - does anyone know why? Is it just marketing or do they have some special properties?

They have lower rolling resistance, in attempt to extract a bit larger range.

I think the difference isn't so much between car models, it's the drivers behaviour that wears down the tyres. Something happens to drivers of cars that has the power to accellerate fast from 0. Electric wears down the tires faster because of how the average driver uses the pedals.

Often they have sound damping foam, and try to be more efficient.
