Recommendations on winter tires for GTPE?

[FamDocDon]

No data “yet” but later today my Blizzak LM001 will get installed on my 2022 MME GTPE — and we’re due more snow soon (what we did get Is gone already here in NE Ohio). I’ll be sure to provide feedback on these snow tires once I have them on and some testing complete (by testing I mean “seat time”)

Love my Blizzaks. Have not had them in big snow yet, but up to 3-5 inches they are great.

Also went with Michelin X-Ice for CR1 RWD ER just in time for a lot of snow in Wisconsin. They have been excellent.

I buy them from tire rack, and have them shipped to installer.

Any issues with the installer when they put the tires on? Are there any concerns on the way they lift the vehicle, to avoid damaging the battery?

I haven't done so with my MME. No issues with my other vehicles including Tesla model Y. Tire rack only list tires and wheels that fit your vehicle, but some could be barely fit while others are better fit.

Some installers throw in some random small charges not listed by tire rack.

The place I went had to read a guide for Mach-E since the lift points are different than the Teslas they had seen, but they were careful. Just to be safe, I did print out a tow/lift graphic I found somewhere on these forums (and have since misplaced, darn it).

This image is close to what I found on the forums, but not quite exact. The image I found had both the lift points (highlighted in yellow on this image) and the towing points highlighted as well. The bottom of the MME does have arrows pointing to "lift here", but I have seen some people on the forums add high visibility arrow stickers to make it really stand out.

Needless to say, I did tell my tire place to be careful lifting the car due to the battery, and I told them that the Tesla blocks don't quite fit.

New 2022 GTPE. Just put a winter rim, tire and tpms setup on. I also went with the Michelin X-Ice. Very few miles yet but so far so good.

Which rim did you go with?

I've got a non-perf GT and I'm considering Michelin X-Ice as well, but haven't landed on the rims yet. I'm considering the OEM GTPE Rims, but I'm sure I could find some third party rim at a much better price...I just really like the GTPE design.

Started looking for a set of winter tires for my GTPE and was curious what other's setup is. Was looking to just have the stock set of rims and mount/dismount the winter tires every year since it looks like steely rims for this car would be quite expensive due to the weight.

Just looking for recommendations / thought.


Thanks!

I live in the great white north of Canada, and just put on Pirelli Scorpion on the original rims. I'll get new rims in the spring (and likely new summer tires as the set from the dealer sure didn't last long )

How long can I wait before ordering a set of Winter tires/wheel set for our GTPE?
Order them now or wait until September/October? Will likely put them on in October.

Exactly Wintrac Pro FTW. Mine mounted on MME GT aero wheels to try and maximize range
