Finally replaced the stock 18” Michelins on my SR after 43,000 miles after hitting 2/32. Lifetime consumption over 43k was 218kW/hr.
Got a great deal on the new Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 at Costco, and immediately noticed my consumption went through the roof. I’ve put almost 1k on them this week, and my consumption is hovering in the 260wh/mi range — no change at all in driving style. Oddly, I’m noticing worse efficiency on slow drives. Taking my girls to school at 35mph is usually a 170kw/hr trip, today it was 220. Highway drives that are usually 220 are now 260-270.
We have a 1,500 family road trip coming up this week, and since I have “just” an SR, I’m nervous about a 158 mile leg. My battery is ~10 degraded, and I was getting 200 real world miles before, but now I’m only getting 160. Not thrilled about the prospect of driving 40mph on the highway, or worse, getting stranded.
