MYLR all season tyres

[nufan]

Guys - Form and Ts & Ca say you need a “Promotional Code” to take advantage of this - any idea where you get it (and if it’s unique to individuals or just a generic?). I can’t find reference to the promo elsewhere - so I’m wondering if it’s being buried.

> Michelin has a £100 cashback promotion for their tyres until the end of the year. (https://offer.michelin.co.uk/pim4-uk

Sorry to be a pain guys - anyone have the code off an old Michelin newsletter banner? I think it’ll be a generic code non-individual if the codes they have on a banner I could find elsewhere are anything to go by “TS0923” - Thanks. It’s not on the newsletter I signed up to the other day.

You have to wait to get the monthly newsletter a little later this month. Then you can claim up until the end of the following month.
Last month was PIM409 for purchases made in September
(I think you can begin to see the pattern there...)

Be careful as the T&C states that this cannot be used in conjunction with other offers, so if you get the MCC -10% off discount at blackcircles, or the similar -10% off CrossClimates at Kwickfit, Michelin will most likely reject your cashback claim...

Many thanks for the help/advice

Well I went ahead for the Michelin CC2.
Indeed the lack of rim protector is making the alloy stick out quite weirdly, that will probably be a reason for some to pick the Continental or Pirellis instead...

Got some curb rash the following day...

Also, just returned from a road trip, and definitely noticed a drop in efficiency..
+12% per 100 miles is significant... I know it's colder out there but still... I'm wondering..

it will "settle in" new tyres usually have a bit higher consumption, especially CC2s.

I know looks aren't everything, and usable grip is probably the most important factor with tyres but... that looks terrible.

My new CC2’s looked to provide more rim cover than the old Pilot Sports. Did they fit the spec/width there?! That does look odd compared to mine from memory

Don’t you have a Model 3?

Does anyone know how the Goodyear Vector 4 Season Gen 3 SUV look on the Gemini 19” alloys?

I could understand +/- 5%
But +20% over consumption on a full charge is horrendous..

What did you have on before? I'd only expect up to a 10% hit, if you didn't have EV/ultra low RR tyres before.

I had the stock Hankook Evo T0 that came with the 19"

Fitted my CC2s over the weekend on a set of 19s. As others have found the lip is quite proud but as the wheels are black it's much less noticeable. Virtually invisible from more than a few yards away but very visible if you go up close.

Someone from a Facebook group very kindly sent me these photos showing the Goodyears on the Gemini alloys. I have his permission to post them here.

So I would say about the same protruding then!

So far it seems only the Continental seem to be a better fit given @jamr photos back then on this post : MYLR all season tyres

I agree, it's just a shame that the Continentals aren't the new version (All Season Contact 2).

The Pirelli Scorpion All Season SF2 Elect look good on the Gemini alloys too: link

Not a bad price at all! I see that there’s an ‘A’ rated version available for efficiency, but they’re difficult to source.

Haven't seen those myself, I'm not even sure how it would be physically possible to have an A rated all season tyre (yes I know Michelin and Pirellis are).

These tyres are not being fitted tomorrow after all. The supplier has a ’stock issue’ so can’t get them. I’ve said that I’m happy to wait (until January when I actually need them) so we’ll see what happens. There doesn’t appear to be any alternative with the correct W or above speed rating and 100 or above load rating. The fitment on Gemini wheels is an added spanner in the works.

*Edit to add* Goodyear vector have 100W available which would fit on paper, but the reality is that they are stretched as the pictures posted above show.
