Depends on your comfort level. My Goodyear Invicta GLR LRR tires were *dangerously* slippery. I can think of at least two instances of incidents that I was involved in that would have resulted in a smashup if I had been driving my EV with those tires instead of an otherwise identical vehicle with more grippy tires.
Pulling the Invictas off my car last month and replacing them with some generic tires that just happened to be on the wheels I am using was a ~major~ upgrade to the handling and safety of my EV. I regret the 10+% penalty in energy consumption, but the car is much more stable on the road, and I no longer feel like I am driving on ice, even in summer.
The first paragraph of the R&T article used the words "trade off", and that's what it comes down to, are your LRR tires attached enough to the road to keep you safe?
When my suspension work is finished, my alloy wheels come back from being repaired, and the four-wheel alignment is complete, I'll be purchasing some LRR tires to try and get back some of my efficiency, but not at the expense of road control.
