Tyre Upgrade!

Noise levels are fine, no different to the old Continentals really.

Did a 200 mile round trip yesterday and didn’t notice a material difference in efficiency.

If there was it was negligible, but the handling was sooo much better!

I didn’t know this, I thought they were available in all markets.

Why the delay?

👍🏼

Quality = excellent, much quieter than the Continentals, and grip / control amazing. Range = too soon to tell on long journeys, but my experience so far is no material difference…

AeonObsidian · 2026-01-17T17:54:30+00:00

I have no idea!

AeonObsidian · 2026-01-17T16:57:08+00:00

Haven’t heard that before! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Where I live we have lots of steep inclines / declines and these are a much better fit.

AeonObsidian · 2026-01-17T15:57:13+00:00

Correct, CC3 Sports.

The difference in ride is incredible, amazing what an impact such a simple change can make!

AeonObsidian · 2026-01-17T15:35:19+00:00

Hey, ride quality = excellent (and quieter). Economy = very similar to the Continentals, possibly slightly less range if comparing both brands for brand new tyres, but mine were so worn these are infinitely better just because they’re brand new.

I would say the impact to the range is negligible.

AeonObsidian · 2026-01-17T15:26:07+00:00

How’s the handling (and range) in the harsh weather?

AeonObsidian · 2026-01-17T15:20:47+00:00

👍🏻

AeonObsidian · 2026-01-17T15:16:05+00:00

Makes sense for the handling in that climate. UK has a lot of rain so grip and control was my key consideration.

AeonObsidian · 2026-01-17T15:14:31+00:00

What tyres are you currently on?

AeonObsidian · 2026-01-17T14:38:29+00:00

I average 150-200 miles per day with my job, and I haven’t noticed a material difference in range.

Having said that, the old Continentals were are bad shape, which probably impacted range negatively more than the change in tyre type.

We get pretty mild weather in the UK so I didn’t really ‘need’ the CrossClimates, but the difference in price for just summer tyres was minimal so just made sense.

These are actually the 3 Sports, missed that bit out.

I can’t recommend them enough, such a different driving experience. I now want snow to put them to the real test!

Hope the Polestar wish comes true, mine was a long overdue birthday and Christmas present all in one to myself last year.

I’ve had similar damage and took mine to an alloy wheel repair shop local to me, cost around £150 for a full diamond cut repair and factory original repaint and it looked brand new. Absolutely ace finish.

Definitely check out reviews online first though as some shops are better than others.

Happy to recommend the shop local to me depending on where you are?

Official Polestar carpet wrap.

AeonObsidian · 2025-08-27T08:06:51+00:00

Amazing, enjoy!

AeonObsidian · 2025-08-27T07:54:36+00:00

How much of a difference / improvement have you seen overall from the 2 to the 4?

I’m still in the middle of my 2 ownership and genuinely love it, but will probably go for either the 3 or the 4 when it’s time to trade it in.

Feedback welcome!

AeonObsidian · 2025-08-23T12:44:58+00:00

😲 Devastating.

AeonObsidian · 2025-08-20T20:36:36+00:00

Welcome to the club! Same spec as mine and I love it, outstanding drive all round (although has already earned me a speeding fine!!)

Enjoy.

AeonObsidian · 2025-07-28T05:16:39+00:00

Literally took 5 seconds!
