After research I'm going for normal Michelin Cross climate 2. I'm in the mountains of mid Wales so snow isn't even guaranteed but it can be here for a few weeks. And there will be frost and ice. In the past (on my ICE cars) I have gone full winter tyres but I'm not sure the bother of changing them twice a year is worth it for me. And EV specific definitely isn't worth the extra.
I'm open to other suggestions though.
Tires make a night and day difference, especially in EV’s where you have more torque. I went with cross climates, and took a 5 percent hit on range, but the traction it gives during rain is worth imo.
Consider Michelin's Cross Climate 2/3 as well, which is an excellent All-Weather tire and performs far and away better than traditional \"All Season\" tires in winter.
I swapped the oem geolanders for Michelin cross climate 2’s since I don’t do much real offroading just hunting trails and mountain roads. They actually handle the wet leaf covered steep mountain side roads in pigeon forge better.
michelin tires worn to 2.2mm vs new cheap tires and the michelin was still better.
my Cup2s are sticky at ambient but turn into molten rubber when on track. Pretty amazing how well they work in that regard.
Michellin yung all weather. Been using it. So far so good. Tahimik at makapal pa rin kahit laging ginagamit
Having the CC2s will definitely help. The CC2s will definitely help you stop.
Picked up a new set of Cross Climate 2’s over the weekend. Handling is great, especially in the rain. Aesthetically, I think they look super cool and unique. They have an aggressive look to them.
That being said, I did not do my due diligence beforehand and let the guy at discount t*re give me the run down on them. One thing he failed to mention was the lack of efficiency they bring (not blaming him). In my first couple of drives I noticed my wh/mi to be well over 300 and in one instance on a 5 mile drive it was 395 wh/mi. Crazy! This is in comparison to my average of 252 wh/mi for the last 5k miles I’ve driven. It’s important to note that I like to accelerate fast and have had the heat on due to the cold weather coming in (Chicago native).
I wanted to see how much of a difference it made if I changed my driving habits so for the past 15 miles or so. I turned “chill” mode on and turned off the AC system and have averaged around 210 wh/mi. Nice to know that efficiency is still attainable just a bit sad that I will be losing 30%+ of range when driving how I normally do.
Hoping that with time they will break in and I will see that number go down a bit. I will update the thread as I put more miles on them.
I’ve spent more on tires on my myp in the first year than any other car ive owned. 3 punctures on the pilot sport AS4 add up.
