Now that winter tires are on, I’m ready for a very mild Ohio Winter. 🤣

You don’t really want to drive on your summers when the temperature gets below 45°F anyway. In NJ I swap my tires around mid-April and mid-November.

Yeah, that’s why I was searching last Saturday from the dealership at place to get the winter tires put on, lol. driving on them today. I can definitely notice much better traction on the cold pavement.

Yea sometimes when it gets cold out before I swap my tires I have to remind myself not to drive like a dummy.

Since you're looking at the Ioniq 5N, may I throw the Kia EV6 GT in the ring. The N line and GT share a platform. i think the EV6 has slightly less HP and a slightly longer range. But seems similar and worth checking out both. I ended up not being able to justify the EV6 and got the 2023 Niro EV early last year. But I really love that car and have a friend with the EV6 that I lust after whenever I see him. And that he loves. Given your range of price points I'd consider both!

One word of caution, my 2023 Niro EV has an absolutely obnoxiously loud reverse beep. It sounds like I'm reversing an 18-wheeler, not a hatchback that regulations say shouldn't be totally silent. Since they share a platform it's probably worth being sure to check that reverse sound in test drive for either brand!

The electric is SO fun to drive. I'm all in on the constant torque curve.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
