2020 highlander platinum here, original tires were shitty in Nova Scotia downpours. Got cross climate twos and won’t use anything else.
I lost <10% mpg on my 2009 HiHy when I went to the CC2. I figure 2-3mpg less isn’t that terrible if you drill down on the math and the added safety and in my case improved stance/looks is worth the small cost difference.
I just put these on our Commodore in 245/45R18. They replaced a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE003's. Initial impression is that they aren't any noisier than the Potenza's, possibly a bit quieter. Haven't driven in a heavy rain yet but the performance on slick roads was also good. My biggest concern is that they were going to totally spoil the handling but cornering at civilised speeds is still satisfying. Certainly they don't have anywhere near the dry grip of the Potenza's but they're fine for everyday use.
I had cross climate 2s in my previous vehicle and my van. I will be putting them on my Crosstrek as soon as the current tires wear out. They are pretty great tires.
I got the Cross Climate 2 and they have been fantastic so far! Had them on for about 5k miles and no issues and they feel great especially in rain
I put the Crossclimate2 on our outback and love them. They’re great (and surprisingly quiet) in the dry, have great grip in the wet
CrossClimate 2. Little bit louder in the cabin, but best winter rated non snow tire.
Michelin CrossClimate2 is the best option for you. The CrossClimate2 wins every comparison test it's in, and is an awesome tire.
I recently got Michelin defender 2, not as smooth as cross climate, but high durability and reasonably quite
Just swapped out the 22” contisport 6s on my 2023 Model X Plaid for Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s and they ride noticeably harsher but most importantly they are damn noisy in comparison.
