Ah, a fellow tire connoisseur! I manage the rubber for the 6-car family fleet. Newest experiment is putting Michelin CrossClimate2 tires on my Daughter’s Ioniq 5 AWD.

My e-bike has 5 ah!

My CX-5 with DM-V2’s is an absolute tank in snow & ice.

Also, test the battery. Head unit is probably very sensitive to voltage drops. How old is the battery? Might be worth spending some $ to eliminate that as cause. I’m on my second replacement battery on my 16.6 GT.

Hope you and yours are well and together this holiday. I’m thankful for the Mods & Admins who make this site worth visiting every day! What are you thankful for?

Probably not. Encouraging concise writing is a good thing. The snark, not so much.

TL;DR. Sorry to hear of your troubles, but not quite at length.

Lack of a rear wiper sucks, but is manageable in Denver’s dry climate. Seattle, not so much. Not worried about ground clearance - that’s duty for our CX-5 with Blizzaks.

Mine is - Hyundai Ioniq 5 AWD Limited. This replaced my wife’s RAV4. Thinking about a PHEV when it’s time to replace the CX-5. CX-70 sounds like a definite possibility in a few years.

Thanks for the report, @kone. I’m strongly leaning towards a set of CC2’s for my AWD Ioniq 5 when the OEM Michelin Primacy Tour A/S set wears out. Will see what TireRack scores are for less expensive alternatives are when the time comes. I’ve got a set of Blizzak DMV2’s for my CX-5, so that’s...

Might want to check this tread out. Lots of good info in 342 posts! https://mazdas247.com/forum/s/cx-5-wheels-brakes-susp.475/

If you don’t run snows in winter but also don’t live in a low-snow area, the Michelin Cross Climate 2 might be a good choice.

Wait it out for a second year model. Bugs worked out and under MSRP likely. I’m thinking of replacing my 16.5 GT with a second year CX-70 PHEV. Now THAT is waiting it out LOL.

Just ask for a detailed OTD quote. Don’t let him quote ‘sales price’ and leave you at the mercy of the finance pirañas. If finance won’t honor the OTD quote walk straight to an honest dealer.

No brainer. Go new for a mere $70 a month. Resale value will be much greater. Besides, life is too short to not treat yourself to a new car.

You are correct, that is the whole point - sharing detailed cost info. One would hope that those filling out the spreadsheet would post a screen capture of it.

Just a good security practice IMHO. If you let a hacker in the front door, who knows what they can do. Feel free to host the file on your Google drive and share a link if this doesn’t concern you. If someone is unwilling to do an easy account setup on Dropbox, they probably are unlikely to...

No thanks. I’ve got lots of personal stuff on my Google Drive and don’t want to give world access to anything on it. Friends & family only get access to my G drive.
