Has anyone tried cross climates on MYP

[jaytatis]

Has anyone tried cross climate on a 2023 MYP?

Thinking if I can get away with running them year round speed rating aside since I’m not planning on driving at anywhere near top speed

I’ve looked at the massive thread on the maximum size but no one mentions the cross climate


Sizes I’m thinking 265/40-21 up front 275/40-21 back

Or 255/40-21 in front and 275/40-21 in back.

I saw the YouTube video of the 265/40-21 in the front and user states rubbing so safe bet is the 255/40-21 correct.

Thank you for all your feedback

Still have the factory tires on the M-Y but I had cross climate on my M-3, and they seemed to be wearing pretty well, the noise was better than the factory tires (the cross climates did not have foam cores), and the wh/m went up to about 255 from 250, very modest impact. All in all I thought the cross-climate tires were great.

An Advanced search will show you dozens of threads on the Michelin CrossClimate 2.

You don't have to wait for responses here!

I don’t think I’ve seen the threads with people doing them on the 21s

Michelin doesnt offer them at the stock size for 21”. You’d have use higher aspect ratio, which may or may not fit inside the MYP’s wheel well or go with another wheel size (and square setup).

A set of 19" Geminis and 255/45-19 CC2s will serve you well.

The wacky sizes on the 21s will look a bit off, if the tread pattern alone wasn't enough.

Could always sell the 21" set of wheels/tires/TPMS to fund the 19" package.

I swear I read somewhere that the Cross Climates were a bit loud, but now I can't find it. I thought it was on Tire Rack, but it's not there.

Definitely louder than the stock tires, but not obscene.

That's a deal breaker for me.

Of course, tire noise is totally dependent on the road surface. Exposed aggregate surfaces, also some deeply grooved surfaces, are the worst, and the CC2s were too loud for me, in the DFW region.

The challenge is the tread design. With it being a directional tread, it is more likely to feather/cup because you cannot cross rotate to promote even treadwear. As the tire wears, if not maintained properly, they can get louder. With proper Rotation however, you are less likely to have this issue.

Isn't putting the CC2s on a 21" "performance" wheel sorta/kinda defeating the purpose of the 21" wheel? It's a Grand Touring tire, not a performance tire.

My neighbor has a set on his Subaru Forester and he says they are significantly louder than whatever the OEM's were. And that's with engine noise.
