I have read this thread and am unsure what to think. I want to buy new tires for an EV I'm ordering (non-Tesla), and want it all. I have had CC2's on a RAV4 Prime and Acura RDX and loved them on both. I currently have PS AS 4's on my Volvo C40, and they are pretty good, as well. It snows here, it ices up, etc. and I want a tire that can handle it. Has anyone driven somewhat worn AS 4's in snow/ice? I am getting identical efficiency with AS 4's as I did the OEM Volvo Pirelli Elect Zero tires, FWIW. I measure efficiency by battery %. I have an 80mi commute, and my % upon arriving home didn't change by even 1%, averaged over similar weather for a few weeks. A 10*f temperature shift "matters more" than the difference.
That said, I have not driven the AS 4's in anything but nice weather, and rain. They handle both just fine. My CC2's were a TANK on my Prime and RDX in the winter.
Also to consider, the speed is only 149mph on the CC2's. Will this cause warranty or other issues if something goes wrong (presuming UNDER that speed cap...)?
