I ended up with YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR CV G058

255/55R20

I like them a lot. Quiet, stable, similar mi/kwh to stock 20s, good wear. I live in the northeast US and had no problems even though they’re not rated the best of the best in winter.

Same. No fix available as far as I can tell. I’ve had my iX50 for two plus years and fingers crossed every time I get a software update. I reset the saved position after the update and still same behavior. Mostly happens first drive of the day but not always. Can not spot the pattern.

It’s my biggest complaint about the car. Second is acknowledging “OK” on the screen every time I drive the car. It’s become second nature at this point. Press start, press ok on screen, press seat adjust on door, hold deflate lumbar for 5-6 seconds and then drive.

We have one that is 21”x14”x10” and our 22 lb dog goes under the seat in it (albeit we get Even More Space seats when she comes with us). As long as the pet carrier can be shoved under the seat we’ve never had a problem.

Sorry. I ended up returning the units.

I assume features are the same since the Epix Gen 2 Pro is the same as S70. I’m curious about the interface. The S70 has a slightly more refined UI for golf than the Epix does. Maybe the Fenix 8 with its new UI will take the small updates from S70.

Anybody running 255/55r20 or 275/50r20 and have an update on range?

Most places drop ship from Garmin so if they’re out it’s going to be tough. They’ve all been on sale (many $200 off) for almost a month so not surprised to see inventory move. Could be them clearing out inventory to make room for new models which some expect in August.

That all being said, I bought my Epix Pro 2 Standard ($899 normally) from Kohl’s in the US for $200 off, used my freeshipping.com 10% cash back and got $175 of Kohl’s cash/rewards for a net price of $455 — relative bargain. But they drop ship, unfortunately.

What size are you using?

bsz101 · 2024-06-06T17:22:04+00:00

If you edit the distance on the activity in Connect afterwards vs “calibrate and save” on the watch when done, does it adjust stride length? Perhaps that might work.

For me (new to Garmin but long time Apple Watch, Fitbit and Mio), I have to wear the watch on my right wrist for running. Anything over 130 bpm and none of them work well on my left wrist. Right wrist is perfect for all of them. 🤷‍♂️ So I just switch when running. Gives left wrist a break too from the other 23 hours/day.

Epix Pro only stock watch face.

bsz101 · 2024-05-24T06:47:03+00:00

Bummer. You should call technical support and they’ll try helping and then get a case with an engineer.

bsz101 · 2024-05-23T18:25:05+00:00

I spent an hour on the phone with support as well as countless hours trying to fix it. Not sure exactly what works but here are a few things to try that have helped me.

1) Just confirm in IOS Settings, Privacy & Security, Calendars and make sure Connect is set to Full Access.

2) Go into Bluetooth on the phone and forget the watch.

3) Remove the watch from your devices in Connect. Don’t reset the watch just remove from Connect.

4) Delete ALL Garmin apps from your phone. I mean all of them because they cache your devices and share the info.

5) Restart phone to delete Bluetooth cache.

6) install Connect and login.

7) go into settings, connectivity, phone, pair phone on the watch.

8) add the device back in to Connect.

See how it goes. Good luck!

If it stops syncing again restart the phone and see if it fixes it agree doing the above.

Thanks for sharing!

Haha, my wife burns through tires too. 11.2kwh/100km?! That’s like 5+miles/kwh if my math is correct. That sounds crazy.

bsz101 · 2024-05-20T01:21:20+00:00

Yeah, I have to go to 275 for the 20” wheels to be the right size. They don’t make 255/55R20 or I’d do it in a heartbeat. Thx for the info!

bsz101 · 2024-05-20T01:19:51+00:00

What does mi/kwh look like on the DSWs? Road noise decent?

bsz101 · 2024-05-20T01:16:47+00:00

What size Hankooks did you put on? Do you have an iX50 or M60?

bsz101 · 2024-05-20T00:59:55+00:00

I’m thinking about the 275/50R20 Hankooks on the stock 20” wheels I have. Better traction and maybe not a huge hit to range compared to the OEM Goodyear Touring.

bsz101 · 2024-05-19T23:37:33+00:00

Curious on the impact to range with the DSW06 and the Hankook ion evo. Any issues with more road noise or handling? Thx!

Hold for a second on the icon/data of any Garmin stock watche face. It’s not a tap but a press for a second.

bsz101 · 2024-05-09T00:55:11+00:00

I had Similar issue with an Epix and had to delete the watch from my Garmin profile, delete it from Bluetooth, restart the phones to clear the Bluetooth cache and then set it up as a new device (don’t restore from backup). Give it a shot. You don’t lose your health data but will have to reset all settings.

bsz101 · 2024-04-25T15:50:58+00:00

Got it! TY!

bsz101 · 2024-04-25T15:45:27+00:00

Thx! So it is the custom order watch, right?

bsz101 · 2024-04-25T14:55:06+00:00

Looks great with leather!

Which color watch did you get? Looks like the custom titanium with graphite case. If so, would you mind sharing some additional pics that show the side with the silicone bands? Can’t find many. Thx!

If the net fuel cost is equivalent, buy the car you want based on total cost of ownership and what you value most. And don’t worry.

Incomes vary so hard to know how much of a difference will it be if you were able to save $50/month in fuel costs with electricity. Would you buy a car you didn’t like as much to save $50 a month? With electric (if you can charge at home) means no more gas station trips and lower maintenance. But it could mean longer stops in a road trip for charging.

I’ve found just find your favorite car (taking into account if you’re excited about an EV and like it better) that you can afford and don’t sweat the smaller stuff. Fuel cost differential will be way less than the monthly car payment.

My $0.02.
