You went with the Michelin Pilot Sport all seasons, right?

In fairness, washer fluid, oil, etc are very different. The tires are a significant safety issue and are thus a unique component. Not only could a driver hurt themselves, they could also hurt someone else. And what if someone driving with summer tires in a snowstorm causes an accident. Would...

Smart move but I think you’re an outlier. If I were to poll 100 random car buyers in the northeast, I’d be shocked if more than 5 would think to ask whether the tires are all-season when buying a car. People just assume that given the weather.

I’ve bought numerous luxury cars and never thought to even ask the question. I’ve just assumed all cars sold in the northeast have all-season tires these days. I’m just an average consumer and not a car specialist. Maybe a car enthusiast would think to ask. My prior car was a ‘24 Audi e-tron and...

Clearly you’re not a realist

The way I ordered my car was by Lucid sending me a link to the specs, i.e., I didn’t do any configuration on their site. And that spec sheet had no mention of summer tires. I have now been told that there is a click through in the paperwork that is ultimately signed, but the sales rep admitted...

Thanks for the above! I’m a general counsel for a very large company and if I was their internal lawyer there is no doubt I would be telling them they should disclose this on the sticker and in the car’s online description. I haven’t researched this at all, but to me this really looks like a...

Thanks. I only have an 18 month lease and so I’m not sure it makes sense to pay the $2k for basically one winter. I only drive about 5k miles/year and so for me I may just use the summer tires. Interestingly, when I picked the car up in PA two weeks ago, it was sleeting and snowing and I drove...

Which did you buy?

All it says is “20” Aero Lite Stealth Wheels”. They should at least add the word “summer” in that description. There is no way that a consumer should be expected to know that those are summer only tires based on that description. It’s crazy that Lucid doesn’t disclose this. IMO the default tire...

I’m not able to get mine to work. After I hit pair on my phone I then hit continue on the car’s pilot screen and as soon as I do that the phone app closes on its own. The car says it’s linked but the app says it’s not. Am I doing something wrong?

I just sent a letter, although I doubt they will do anything. In t’s ridiculous that they don’t even disclose it. All they need to do is add the word “summer” to the tire description. I haven’t looked but I also wouldn’t be surprised if they are legally required to disclose. Fortunately my...

I think there are a lot of people still on 2.5.x (I am)

I live in NJ and I need to swap out my 20” summer tires for all-weather tires. Would the Michelin Pilot Sport all-weather be the best replacement in terms of performance and range (I’d like to keep the range as close as possible to what it is now)? If not, anyone have any recommendations?

Yes, e-tron SUV SB and got at best 1.5 in the winter and often less

Most of my driving is very short distances and even though my car is garages, it’s cold. I keep the cabin about 71, I have the 20” wheels and yes, I do have the glass roof and so I’m not at all surprised at the 3 miles per kWh - with my Audi Q8 I was typically only getting 1.5 in the winter.

No all-weather markings and so I think they are just summer, which in NJ is ridiculous. I already have a call into them. They really shouldn’t be selling these tires in the northeast, at least without first telling the customer. BTW - is it just the tires that would need to be swapped out, or...

I got my car last week and was told that the wheels are all season, but how do I know if my tires are all season tires or if they are just summer tires (my sticker just says “20” Aero Lite Stealth Wheels”)?

I just got my car last week and I’ve also been averaging about 3.0 miles per kWh. It’s the winter here and so I expect that will improve in the summer.

When you say “value for your car’s lifetime” am I right that you are referring to either Trip A or Trip B, which in your case is the life of the car? I’m asking because I don’t see anywhere where it would display the value for the car’s lifetime and if I were to reset Trips A and B, the values...
