I had the tires for about 2 weeks now. Decided to test it out since I couldn’t find any information about this combo.
Main reason i went with this size instead of the 245/55 is the XL load rating. Tires look ok on the Gemini wheels, not my favorite but good enough not to get new wheels. Doesn’t look stretched, similar fit with the oem tires. Rises the car about .5”.
Efficiency went down a little but not terrible. Avg of 275Wh/m became 295Wh/m. Ride quality improved over the stock continentals. Way more grippier tires too. I personally couldn’t hear any difference in road noise with these tires. Didn’t go to the snow yet but will try by end of the month.
So far i tested about 3 different navigation apps and speedo difference is only about 2mph faster than what the car shows.
i recommend it to anyone looking for mild AT tires good for year round use. Ask questions.
