Continental has a range of ebike rated reinforced tires that are my favorite to run. They are constructed similar to a light motorcycle tire more than a typical bicycle tire. I've held 40mph for a consistent run several times without issue. (I am not a light dude)
They aren't cheap, obviously, but not outrageous either, usually in the 45 to 55 dollar each range.

Im a lite dude at 140-150lbs depending on what season it is.
That is the exact tire I am currently using. Love it!
The reflective white-wall is a nice safety feature.

Yep that is 1 reason I bought it. The other is the flat protection. They grip extremely well too. They are a racey tire, they roll real nice & smooth.

Lmao it is the only tire I have found, that if you put it on a cheap set of wheels & air them up to max pressure.
The spokes will start creaking & pinging they put such a clinch on the rim.

It might be easier to find motorcycle tires that fit a 24” bicycle rim so I’m considering switching to 24” rims
