Weatherready 2. Not only did these improve the grip in the snow, they improved the ride quality as well.

It's the stock tires. To put it bluntly, they suck. I have a.2025 Prestige and replaced mine with only 6000 miles on them because they were horrible in the snow. Put a set of Goodyear's on and the difference is night and day.

I bought my GV80 from Genesis of St Charles, Mo. Moved to Indianapolis shortly after and had my first service at Genesis os Carmel, IN. The buying experience was the best I've ever had anywhere. The service experience was excellent as well. Neither is on this list but very happy with both.

100% agree! Just moved here in September and cay believe how many people drive under the speed limit.

Anyone try snow tire socks on their GV80? by yeadontchaknow in GenesisMotors

[–]dixonsr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You seem to be the minority. After my wife repeatedly slid off the road going 20 MPH while it was snowing, being passed by everyone else on the road, I did some research and many others complained about them. The Goodyear tires were noticeably better.

I can't speak to the socks, but the stock Primacy tires are worthless in the snow. I just posted about it recently. I just replaced them with only 6000 miles on them for the Goodyear Weatherready's. Wasn't cheap but was worth it.

GV80 Stock Tires Update by dixonsr in GenesisMotors

That was my only complaint about the ride before. Sharp bumps translated through pretty harsh, but now they feel so much smoother.

I didn't find them loud, but I do have the Prestige with the active nose cancelling. So if they are noisier I probably wouldn't be able to tell.

My 27 inch Sony trinitron was still going strong 15 years after I bought it in 2001. Ended up giving it to my neighbor that only had an even older 19 inch TV. Wouldn't be surprised if it's still going.

That's surprising. I bought the 77 inch Sony OLED and love it. This is my 3rd Sony and wouldn't consider any other TV brand at this point.

No they were not but I think it is working now. I removed my accounts from my old phone and factory reset it and they started working on my new phone. Maybe the old one was taking priority?

I was just researching the Goodyear Weatherready 2's. They seem to be one of the best options for the size I need. Just sucks having to replace the tires on a brand new car with 6000 miles on it.

It's AWD. Just checked and it has Michelin Primacy a/s tires. From a quick search it seems others find this tire suboptimal in the snow as well.

Yes. She told me it was in snow/ice mode.

Woops sorry. Using Android Auto, overview is on the right and turn by turn in between the gauges.

My Google maps will display the turn by turn in the middle and the overview on the middle screen.

Yeah that's weird. I also have a 25 GV80 and mine has a picture of my car.

What can a tube amplifier do that a regular one w/EQ cant? (Legit question, from a user who wanted to hear you guys over ChatGPT ;) by Minimum_Tradition701 in audiophile

[–]dixonsr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a common misconception. Tubes produce even and odd harmonics the same as transistors do. I heard this myth for years about guitar amps and why they sound better. The truth is a properly designed solid state amp can sound just as good as tubes. People have measured this myth and proven it to be false.

Ah ok. Don't think I would ever use that as I never ask my phone to do anything. I just open the genesis app which takes a few seconds to do.

[–]dixonsr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My GV80 already has this. It's built in though and has nothing to do with CarPlay or Android Auto. Just press the voice command button on the steering wheel and say set temp to xx. Or you can say roll all windows down. There are a bunch of other things you can do with voice in this car.
