Not me. But I know folks who get their kicks driving that way. To each his own, as long as I'm not his passenger. :-\ There's a safety factor. Great road grip can help you steer out of trouble, assuming you have the experience and skill to take advantage of it (most drivers probably don't). But EVs already stick to the ground better because of their lower center of mass. How much more grip do you want or need? It's your money, for both the hardware (wheels and tires) and the software (electricity); but at another level, it's everyone's environment, so ... hm. Your choice, but I'm sticking (sorry) with LRR.
