Anyone running on Michelin CrossClimate2?

[Jerrytball]

I decided not to wait for the winter and replace mine now. The last several posts here made this decision even easier. Getting 245/55R19 this Friday.

You might wanna look at the 255 because it has plenty of clearance. It didn’t change anything on the speedometer speed because I calibrated it with another program and you’ve got a taller wider. You can go a little lower pressure.

I think 245 is the widest that will fit the OEM rims, currently it's 225/55R19 on the premiums.

Well, I can say this. The rims on my car are 8 1/2 inches and the guys that did this work are very in tune with everything and they look great and fit fine.

You have a GT, and the GT rims are wider than the Premium rims.

So I’ve driven over 200 miles on the new Michelin cross climate tires. And tonight I just wanted to charge up to 100% for the weekend. it’ll be done charging in about two minutes so it says distance I can travel is 265 so I’m wondering is that a good number based on the past 200 miles I’ve been driving, if so I’ve lost 5 miles if I can go 270 on the stock tires.

You can't rely on the GOM to determine car efficiency. That number is taking into account local climate and battery capacity. In fact, I think driving history is one of the minor variables they use. It used to be a significant contributor to the range shown on the GOM, but so many people were complaining they made a change to the calculation methodology. I remember when the change occurred because it was discussed in this forum. It was more than a year ago.

To measure efficiency you can observe the mi/kWh reading on the trip computer when taking similar trips, as long as you go the same speed and the weather is equivalent. Personally I don't think the mi/kWh reading is very accurate because of some inconsistent numbers I have seen in the past. But it is a lot better than using the GOM.

The best way is to take two identical trips and compare the kWh the battery used during each trip. That requires a OBD scanner and an app like CarScanner.

I have odb max 2 scanner thanks.
