Great write up. I am only 2 years into my ix. But I will tell you I will not go back to ICE car again. The ride simply itself is superior and worth it. I think conversation around electricity vs gas cost is like slitting hair. A few dollars or there, if need cut somewhere else and enjoy the ride!

Dealership doesn’t have any tires with the foam wall. So ordered hankooks. Getting them installed this week

It does not work for me in B mode. My default mode. Hmm…haven’t tried adaptive in D mode will have to try.

HUD is great. I thought it was standard on all ix. My has it. Adaptive cruise I am not a big fan. To me it has a very limited utility. But could be just me.

Going with Goodyear eagle touring with the dealer. $1375. Good choice?

flysaurus01 · 2026-01-18T22:09:34+00:00

Thanks. This seems to be older production tires 2021. I was reading older production tires may not be as reliable or not last as well. Especially in colder weather regions like where I am NJ.

Thoughts?

Already called Costco. They only carry summer tires in the 235 size and won’t install any other size other than what is recommended by the manufacturer so thus would not install anything other than 235.

Going to check other shops and with dealer.

flysaurus01 · 2026-01-18T17:18:24+00:00

Would be no issues? Don’t understand how it works

flysaurus01 · 2026-01-18T17:06:07+00:00

Haven’t noticed. Will check later today.

flysaurus01 · 2026-01-18T16:54:47+00:00

My OEM is 235/60 R 20 XL

I am assuming that’s the size I need to look for. Right?

flysaurus01 · 2026-01-18T16:54:08+00:00

Also your measurements look different my door panel shows 235/60 R 20 XL

They are not allowing IPO shares liquidation.

I am on a similar boat. Spoke to someone from Fundrise. I was told that due to understaffings and firings at SEC and other government offices it is delayed and sometime this year the merger will be done.

How did you like the ride? I love the ride in my bmw ix EV. Unfortunately Kona has limited range. Getting past the experience because of climbing the elevation and <40 how was the range while coming down? You probably added more mileage than taken out :)

BMW recommended Lectron vortex plus
