There are two Michelin CrossClimate2 threads going:
Cross Climate 2 on Model Y vs OEM 19"
If a moderator wants to try to combine the two threads, we might all benefit
I'll add my MYLR experience with the CC2 to this thread:
29k miles.Michelin CrossClimate 2 installed, to replace OEM 255/45 - 19" ContiProContact (5/32" tread left, were surprisingly slick on dry pavement...back end would slide out while turning under moderate acceleration).
42psi all around.
Only 50 miles, so probably premature to post, but my initial impressions?
1) Noisier than the ContiProContacts over exposed aggregate concrete, Will this soften as the tires wear in?
2) NOT smoother over small cracks in the pavement...with a thicker tread (10/32") I was expecting it to be softer.
3) There's a subtle, but annoying, whine/hum at 75mph. Not loud, but still annoying. (The CC2 does have a rather aggressive tread.) By comparison, the OEM Contis were whisper quiet on most road surfaces, even up to 100mph. They were very smooth.
4) VERY WEIRD: I'm now hearing the low frequency rumble that I heard early on when the car was new, with the Contis. The rumble disappeared after 4-5k miles, and I had completely forgotten about it, but...it's now audible again. Will this go away as the tires break in?
Overall, I'm NOT impressed. Sidewalls seem stiffer than the broken-in Contis, tread grumble is more pronounced on anything but smooth asphalt. I'm disappointed because the set of CC2s I just installed on our 2019 Avalon Hybrid (235/45 - 18") are amazingly quiet, soft and compliant, which was a HUGE improvement over the OEM Bridgestone Turanza EL440s.
This may be a perfect example of different characteristics of "identical" tires when comparing sizes and load ratings.
I'll drive some more tomorrow and post again after I've got a few hundred miles on them. I hope they improve a lot, because no one in my family but me likes riding in the Tesla
on DFW rough concrete roads!
29k miles, MountainPassPerformance coilovers, at 10k miles, so...19k miles on them.
