Mach E GT tire bubble

Never thought about Yokos,
went with Mich Cross Climate 2s which stick to the road, don’t appear to impact on range though aren’t the quietest.

Thing is with tyres it’s a trade-off. You don’t get all three.

Like an accountant once said to me, you can offer your Clients the option of good & quick, good & cheap or cheap and quick but not all three - substitute quiet, grippy & hard wearing for tyres and you have it!

Not sure what I got with the standard Contis, quiet I think was all??‍

I realize this is a side discussion to the main one we're having, but the all-season tires on the GT non PE was a significant factor when I chose it over the GTPE. That and real-world testing that pretty much showed no difference in 0-60 times between the two (contrary to the published times by Ford). Then it was pretty much down to paying the GTPE price (about $5000 at the time, I think it's more now) just for the magnaride. Didn't add up for me, so I went with the non PE. I just hope the all season tires it came with last longer than the PE tires do.

I ordered my PE with all seasons. The summer tires would only last me a couple months and by definition would basically suck in snow and gravel.
The other fun bit of tire fun I didn’t notice anyone jumping on is that with AWD, you no longer get to replace one tire unless they are practically new. Once the tread depth is different by a few 1/32ths, you need to replace all four tires. Which means even with the road hazard paying a percentage of the damaged tire, it doesn’t help the price on the other three.
