Credit is only good towards the same brand…
What kind of efficiency are you getting with them?
The A traction rating is what is causing me to lean toward the GY's over the Michelins. A few % in efficiency isn't that big of a difference to me 99% of the time. The improved traction would help everywhere for me. As I've mentioned elsewhere, my biggest concern is how the noise would be.
I have gotten credits but it is only for the same brand, so unless you find a loophole you will be stuck with General…if was in your shoes I’d just the HTS60 again since your cost will be less than half…
I never done this before but asked a few others specifially about it and they said u can switch brand for credits. If they don't allow, then I will stick with hts60. I guess not many tires will last more than 20k miles in Texas road and weather
It’s a tradeoff, you can get 2.4-2.5 MPK and only 9/32” tread, or you can get 2.2-2.3 MPK and 14/32” tread, one is 20k mile life and other is 30k…the extra tread life will cost extra since the tire is less efficient (you can save $10 per month with heavier duty tires but need to spend an extra $15 per month on electricity). This ballon’s if charging at $0.60/kwh chargers…costing an extra $50-$75 per month for the less efficient tires. It starts to get really crazy once you have a 60# tire and $0.60/kwh…paying extra $350 per month for that arrangement.
That has been my experience as well. They want to lock you in their ecosystem.
I'm at 2.5 mi/kWh (3% adjustment for OD is 2.43) with the Goodyears. I have 5400 miles on my dual max performance with a mix of city and highway driving. Mostly All-Purpose mode, but some spirited driving mixed in.
Impressive numbers.
Yes, I have had many conversations with the service team about changing the tire size. Hopefully, this issue will be resolved at some point.
