EV tires are meant to optimize for lower rolling resistance over anything else to reduce energy usage and ideally road noise. Lasting longer or having more grip is a secondary concern.

You can get tires that last much longer, but then you'll have to lose out on at least some of the other factors: efficiency, noise and grip.
