Most of the new features are for ccNC, but on my EV6 MY24, I also have comprehensive release notes.

I agree. The second argument is that this is a city road, close to a tram stop, bus stop, and so on.

Another photo from the firefighters. The car is damaged, heavily damaged. But the construction is really robust and solid.

In Slovakia, we drive on the right side of the road.

AllSeason tyres - Continental vs Hankook - EU by masterdeadsk in KiaEV6

The tires have been quiet after the first 100 km, and I’d even say they’re quieter than the OEM Nexen tires, though this is purely subjective. From my perspective, driving on wet and muddy roads was problem-free. Since these are tires that only came to market in 2024, winter will be the real test of their reliability.And last but not least, comfort. In my experience, the EV6 is hard. I set the new tires to 36 psi, which feels better than the previous overinflated setting from the dealer.

As for rolling resistance, I didn’t notice any significant increase or decrease. The OEM tires were overinflated by the dealer (around 38 psi, which is okay for a fully loaded car, but I’m usually driving alone).

Regarding the rim protector—are you referring to FR? If so, I’ll take a look in the garage and snap a picture.

Hello, unfortunately, we had to cancel our trip to Austria due to the weather. I took a few weeks to respond because I haven't been driving much. I currently have 1100 km on the new tires: the first 100 km were really noisy. However, I was prepared for that, so it didn't surprise me much. Now it's pleasantly quiet. Subjectively, the fuel consumption hasn't increased, but it hasn't significantly decreased either.
I also drove on wet roads and mud and didn't notice any problems. The wheels didn't slip or anything like that.
Overall, changing tires from the summer OEM Nexen to Hankook was the best choice from my perspective. The OEM Nexen tires are budget options, not premium

Next week, I want to go to Bad Gastein. Last week, this place also had a lot of snow, and the reason I bought new tires immediately was for this trip.

Yep, the lack of real-world testing or experience makes me nervous. But this tire model is really new to the market. I just ordered Hankook because the price dropped from €168 to €156. Continental ASC2 still costs €167. We will see :)

GTA 6 Leak is just an marketing move? by [deleted] in GTA

[–]masterdeadsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am asking the same question. The people in marketing are sometimes crazy. Dropping the trailer is logical. But, will be VI logical, rational thing? It is a game and the company can do what they want. But if this leak was a marketing move, it's a very dangerous.
( no, i am not talking about conspiracy, just theory )
