Anyone running Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires?

I put these on my wife’s E450 Wagon and am surprised as to how smooth & quiet they are with the aggressive tread pattern. Anyone have them on an S Class?

I'm glad to hear you like those. I have always avoided them because they "look" loud. Don't know that I would put them on my S580 or your i7 but I would try them on my wife's Pacifica.

They are extremely well reviewed and regarded...

They not only make them, it’s the ONLY Michelin Costco recommends for the S580 with 19’s. AND, a 60K mileage warranty.

I looked for them for my S580; they do not come in 21” (unless someone found them). I run 255/40 front, 295/35 rear.

I have a set in 275/50R20 on my X7 M50i, and am satisfied with their performance on a variety of wet and dry pavement surfaces. Haven't tried them in snow, but others report exceptional traction compared to non-3MPSF rated all season tires. Treadwear is decent -- down 1/32 after 5,000 miles.

I’m pretty sure that’s not true. I have seen Primacy Tour on those vehicles at the dealer but never The CC2

The green valve caps are the giveaway: COSTCO! They fill the tires with nitrogen, which is what the green caps signify. Most likely, with even only 600 miles on it, the vehicle has a history. Possibly bought, the owner swapped tires, still not happy and immediately traded. It happens.

Mounting true all season 3MPSF rated tires on an AWD SUV as OE would just not make any sense (lol).

Interesting that’s a loaner…I will look next time I’m at the dealer but I would be amazed if those were the OE tires.

We had them on a MINI. Fantastic tire.

Only knock what the squishy sounding tread pattern, so I would love to hear how they do with a luxury vehicle.

They actually made a “squishy” sound?

When I down-sized to the 19s all the way around, I went with the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s and am extremely happy with them.

Yep, it sounded like riding on an under inflated bike tire. Subtle, but strange sounding tread.

What would worry me is that tires with this sort of tread can be quiet when new, but get noisier fast. The sound described is another clue; you get that with some ATs and M&Ss, and that also usually points to noise increasing over time.

I've not had these, so I can't say I know, but I would not buy them for a sedan. I'm sure of that.
