Hi All,
DISCLAIMER: I did research this forum prior to posting this.
I am a new owner, well more so my wife is a new owner of a 2023 MYLR w/ 19" Gemini wheels (Continental Procontact RX). We live in Salt Lake City, UT and we can have decent winters. We have lived here our whole lives and winter is nothing new to us.
I have concerns about the MYLR and the Regenerative Braking and lack of "Snow Mode" on OE tires: Continental Procontact RX and have a few questions for your folks.
1. What MYLR Braking settings would you recommend driving with in Utah or similar winter climates?
2. Tires... I've narrowed it down to 3 selections based off of my research prior to posting this but want to hear your thoughts.
Some context... We recently sold my wife's 2021 Kia Sorrento with Kumho Crugen Premium KL33 Tires and that is what my wife drove year-round, no winter tires, no replacement/better A/S tires. I am going to take their TireRack ratings as a baseline, and as you can see the baseline for the Kumho in winter is 6.1 score.
These are the three tires (in no particular order) for the MYLR 19" wheels I have narrowed down to, but I am open to suggestions. I am aware the Range/Efficiency is going to take a hit with all of these tires but feel with the Regen Braking, a better tire may be warranted in UT for wintertime (Without a dedicated winter tire).
My wife drives about 50-60 miles daily, most of it highway/interstate to and from work. We have a Wall Mounted charger and charge daily to 80%. I know for better winter/snow traction, we are going to take a decent hit in efficiency.
Please let me know your thoughts and recommendations! Thanks so much!
