It’s lighter than an F-150 and people swap tires on those all the time.
You have plenty of time to gear up. Summer in Canada is like 2 weeks in July, no ? ?
That's the pucks that I use too.
The approved lift points are certainly not part of the battery case. The approved lift points are part of the unibody's perimeter frame. Lifting using the battery case will damage the case so that it won't seal. ??
Steve, take a look at this:
The only Canadian answer to jack blocks. Or frame spacers in other applications. Go Canada.
To be honest, I've never understood the need for winter tires for the Mach E....I've had my '21 Premium AWD through three Michigan winters on the original tires and have never had an issue navigating through snow. The AWD and the heaviness of the vehicle is all you need.
Never been to Michigan so have no idea if it is flat or not but around here in the Sierra's, it is very mountainous and all seasons don't work nearly as well as winter tires. Not to mention I live one hour from Yosemite National park and in weather like we are having today (it is snowing right now) you cannot enter the park unless you have dedicated winter tires OR chains. They stop every car to make sure you have proper tires or the right size chains.
I'm trying to figure out how people rotate the tires DIY. Because you'll have to lift one corner on each side. My dealer only charges $30 for the rotation so it's just not worth the time/effort to do it.
THe GT comes with summer tires standard and sub 45 degrees grip is pretty abysmal and pirelli doesn't recommend use below 45. That said, I've managed two winters without issue on mine but our winters are mild in west ga.
I have a lift in my garage so it's kind of easy.
I run stock Pirelli PZero Electric car tires on my I-Pace (22x255x40). They drive great & love to corner. I have 3 double roundabouts I go through regularly & commonly leave other cars coming out. The front tires burn out on the edges because of this. When they wear out, I move the rear tires to the front and put two new tires on the rear. They are very hard to plug, but I have learned the exact size of hole to make to get the plug to go into the foam. No leaks anymore!
Winter tires are not a must in Michigan. But once you try them and see how superior they are, you wouldn’t want to drive on all seasons. I had them on the last 7 cars I owned in the past 13 years both in Detroit and Chicago. The stopping and accelerating on snow or in cold weather is physics-defying. From a practical standpoint, the only added cost are the wheels which you can arguably resell (I do) and get some value back. Winter tires are cheaper and by using the best tire suited for the season they are designed for, you lengthen the life to some extent. Lastly, all seasons are compromised on all fronts. They are the jack of all trades, masters of none ??
. The main challenge is a week like last week when temps fluctuated between 32 and 72. So I wear my winters out because the Pirelli summers are absolutely no good in sub 45 temps.
