Gravity Orders Discussion

[hmp10]

You are not looking at the + review.

Right you are. I don't know how that happened. I was looking up the tire sizes which showed the Pro+ and just clicked on the blue "Tire Rack Tested" button. I didn't notice that the Pro review came up instead of the Pro+.

Weirdly, I just went to the Tire Rack site again, and this time the Pro+ review came up. Also, the Pro review had the spider charts, but the Pro+ review doesn't.

The Tire Rack narrative said that the only difference between the Pro and Pro+ was that the latter was aimed at reducing rolling resistance (by 5% per Vredestein's claim) and improving snow traction, so I'm assuming the other results pretty much hold.

I was interested in seeing whether the Vredesteins were available in sizes for any of the Gravity wheel options because I just put a set our our Odyssey and couple of weeks ago and had my first chance this weekend to drive them in heavy rain. They were excellent. Where I used to have to feather the throttle to avoid front wheel spin, the Vredesteins just hooked up and went. Braking and lateral maneuvers were better planted, too.

That means the Pro was available at the time Lucid would have been testing tires for the Gravity. Either they liked the Michelins better for some reason (range?) or they didn't check out the Vredesteins for some reason.

I'm wondering what the range hit would be, given that the Michelins already have a significant hit compared to the equal footprint of the smaller Hankook's.
