It is available in a variety of sizes, including some marked as “EV” specific models for electric vehicles, but the “Ai” designation is not a standard part of the product name.
Key Features and Benefits
Comfort and Quietness: The tyre features a multi-pitch tread block arrangement and symmetric design that channels airwaves and reduces road noise and vibration for a smooth, quiet ride.

Durability: The reinforced structure and tread design help maintain the tyre’s shape under driving pressure, boosting high-speed durability and promoting even tread wear.
Value Proposition: The FH18 is positioned as a budget-friendly option, ideal for commuters, family cars, and rideshare drivers who need dependable performance without a premium price tag.
