Too Afraid to Ask

They mean BYD, a company that makes electric cars. If BYDs are coming in volume, it affects what tire options and sizes people will be dealing with.

Technical Definition

“BYDs” refers to BYD, a major Chinese automaker known for EVs and plug-in hybrids. Mentioning BYD in the context of “what’s coming” signals the discussion is partly about which new EV models will influence tire fitment and availability.
