If anyone is interested, I'm selling my Original Equipment 2015 Ford Fusion Energi Titanium wheels. This includes four rims, tires, and TPMS sensors, and is a very simple plug-and-play install for any 2013-current Ford Fusion car. Though they can be used year-round, I've never used them in the winter because of salt, etc, and because I have a dedicated set of winter wheels. The rims are 2015-2018 | FORD | FUSION | 17x7.5 | 5-108 | 5 DOUBLE SPOKE | OEM, 55mm. They retail for at least $250USD each! Details about the rims: https://detroitwheelandtire.com/hol-3984-sss-a.html The tires are also Ford-installed/balanced and have approx. 50% tread life left. Michelin Green-X rubber. The TPMS sensors are also original-equipment. Everything is plug-and-play onto Ford Fusion 2013-current. I am selling this set because just received 19' set for replacement, and I need room in my garage (and honestly, trying to recover some of the costs from the 19' tires), as seen above... Wheels are currently being stored at a climate-controlled tire service centre in Markham Ontario Canada (I use separate winter wheels/tires, and they store my all-season wheels). Serious inquiries only. Asking $900 (I priced it at $950 on Kijiji, but think that this forum deserves a better price, haha). Located in Markham Ontario (near Toronto). I'm not sure where to post this, in this forum, so mods please let me know if this isn't the correct place (sorry!). I've posted this on Kijiji already...

Thanks for your prompt reply! Much appreciated! I have a set of 17' winters on steelies right now, that I'll store for the summer. I just got this smashing deal on the 19s (dark metal finish) that I couldn't pass up. Anyway, the factory Titanium Energi rims+tires+TPMS are currently in storage, and I was considering selling them. The fact is, though, that I've never driven with 19s so don't know how large the difference will be. I've read from the Fusion forum that those the rims are 19, the tire sidewall is reduced so that the net height and width are negligible difference. That way, there's no software change to the adaptive cruise, park assist, etc. The Nokians sound like fun, but I'm aiming for the set to last at least two or three summers -- I was looking at Pirelli P7s, or ContiPro... not sure what the factory ships with. I'm guessing they didn't make 19s an option for the Energi because there aren't any LRR for that size... I don't mind taking a <5mpg hit overall. These are just on for the summer/fall anyway, and then back to the 17-steelies for winter. 40PSI eh? Whoa. That's a harsh ride isn't it? Or, is that normal? I have no reference...

Hi, I just purchased a set of 19 inch H-spoke rims with TPMS sensors for my 2015 Fusion Energi. Currently looking for tire/PSI recommendations. Thoughts? Anyone have theirs installed -- do they ride harsher? I hear the tires wear out faster... is this true? I'm also selling my factory 17-inch rims/tires/TPMS for anyone interested. Toronto area.

Same issue here, for a few hours. Just pull the Sync fuse, wait, and restart. Good as new.

Same here; BT Audio on the right of the speedo, but full titles on the MFT touchscreen.

I also live in Southern Ontario, but drive a 2015 FFE Titanium. The rear defroster in our vehicles automatically turn on when it's below 0C, and the light does not illuminate either; it is hard-coded to be on for several minutes once the car turns on in freezing temperatures (this claim is validated by my dealer). This greatly affects our range. Regardless, my current winter range is no more than 25km. What is your summer mileage without using AC in Southern Ontario particularly? I haven't owned my car long enough to know. Thanks.

Update! I went to the dealer and after a diagnostic they said that all Ford Fusion Energi automatically turn on their rear defroster and side mirror defrosters when the temperature outside falls below 0C (freezing). The rationale is that this adds a load to the system prompting the IC engine to turn on, leading to a faster warm up time. The LED button light will remain unlit. How silly is this, eh?

I was driving home today, and it's -1C (30F) and there's a light snowfall. I noticed that while the rest of my car was covered in snow, the rear window was clear. I pulled over and sprinkled some more snow on, and before you know it, it melts -- and, it has the characteristic rear defrost melt pattern (lines across the glass). The thing is, my climate control system is on AUTO (21C), and my rear defrost is OFF!! I thought AUTO only adjusts the air heating not the rear defroster... What I'm wondering is, is there some sort of temperature threshold so that the rear glass defrost is automatically turned on (even without the switch being pressed or illuminated)? Does anyone else find this to happen to their vehicles? I'm guessing that this would have a profound impact on range. The other day, when it was a few degrees warmer, I had at least 10km of additional range. Today, however, with the same battery charge, and a few degrees colder, my range is down as well -- and maybe, just maybe, this is attributed to our cars having the defrost automatically turn on. Thoughts?
