in the subject of tyres - the more "slick" they are, the better:

so-so ones


Michelin XTE2 365/80/R20 160 K


- thread uneven, cut partially

----
best:
Uniroyal R300 365/80/R20 160 K

Matador TH1 385/65/R22,5 160 K


thread even, not cut, roll superbly.

Of course cut and uneven grip better, but the EF is an aim.


If the UNI is underpowered, go down with the tyre profile - that means better torque on tyres and faster gear change [EF up and lighter tyres]

you can also consider skinner tyres for smaller drag.
