Michelin cross contact suv tire garbage

[mattack4000]

For those who is considering the Michelin cross contact suv. My opinion is that you should skip it. The reason is because the tires are super noisy under some condition. I actually found this weird issue where the tires become SUPER NOISY when you accelerate hard. How is that even possible. Noise is okay under highway cruising, ride is so so and expect a 5-8% drop in economy. I normally don’t like to do this, but I am seriously thinking about bringing it back to America’s tires. I am going to swap my old set of Bridgestone to see if I can confirm the noise.

You should try out the Pirelli Scropion A/S and let me know. I was considering the cross contact as well but still have couple months left on tread.

I checked out the Michelin Cross Contact SUV tires on Tire Rack and most people have very good things to say about them. There were a couple of mentions of being a bit noisy but nothing outrageous. Maybe the Tire Rack customers don't accelerate like we do.

Anyway, are these a replacement for the CrossClimate2 tires? I've been waiting on the CC2 to become available for the MY but I might have to get tires before winter comes.

Sorry they are the cross climate suv I got confused with the names of all the different contact cross tires.

the noise seems to be worse when it is cold. It’s bizarre

Actually, I wrote the wrong name as well. Anyway, I meant the Cross Climate SUV tires on Tire Rack seem to have lots of good reviews with a couple of bad ones.
