CHN Version don't have 48V MHEV equipment.

Any suggestion about tyres? I am just considering replace PS4ZP by PS4S.

Beautiful! Exactly same as one we picked up on 31st.

In regards to the tires, we hear a weird rumble around 80-84mph. Not sure if this is battery kicking in (rpm at this speed is 1k vs 1.5-2k at 70-79mph) or if it's tire related.

Beautiful car, congratulations!

The 4S is a great tire, but it is designed for summer. Since I don't know where in MLC you are (even if I did, I'm not familiar with the climate in China) it would depend on how cold it gets there. I personally prefer all-season tires, so I don't need to worry about temperature and a little bit of rain or snow.

I've had a new set of PS4s on for nearly a week.

It's snow an ice in Ireland at the moment but no problems.

Main thing is the ride is so much better!

Cat eyes use to feel like land mines on the Good year run flats now you barely feel them.

You can add an aftermarket remote start. I have one for my 17 G30.

OP, I think you mean PS3ZP. Consider yourself lucky to have received the Michelin's. It's by far the best tire for this car. Personally I'd leave them as is.

Nice car. Enjoy.

Beautiful car. Unfortunately you received the Goodyear tires which are commonly used at the factory, but also the absolute worst of the approved OEM tires.

I wouldn't be surprised if you have a bad tire from new. Get the dealer to check all four and also to confirm all 4 wheels are OK and no runout issues.

If you're so inclined take off the Goodyear and get a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 3ZP. Ride and road noise quality will be far better.

No Shadowline?

Love the color! I am considering the same. Found one without the shadowline trim, but I really like the way it looks. Can the grills and lights be replaced with the shadowline?

I see you live in Phoenix. The last couple of days were impossibly hot! The aftermarket remote start might be a good idea for you.
