CROSSCLIMATE SUV

<p>very satisfied. no weak point reviewed. strongly recommended.</p>

When purchased initially, they were great.
My problem with the Michelin Crossclimate SUV has been the treadwear and how the tire has deteriorated. Please see photos.
Upon noticing the tires being bald on the inside and rubber pulling away from the tread of the tires, Michelin was contacted directly. We did as ask, took it to an approved shop to be inspected by a certified mechanic. The condition of the tires was confirmed. However, here is the bad part. Although they have a 50,000 mile warranty or 6 years from dated of purchase, we fell outside of the 6 years by 3 months and 4 days. Please understand, while the tires lasted 28,404 miles, it's the way the tires deteriorated.
They were rotated every 5,000- 7,000 miles. We don't drive much.
Michelin offered to reimburse 25% of a new set of tires. Before this, I equated the Michelin brand with a company which stood behind their products. After this, my confidence in Michelin has crumbled.

These tires were great for the first 15,000 miles (18 months). They began to growl after that and now at 20,000 miles they are annoyingly loud between 45 and 70 miles per hour. I am at the point of replacing them even though the tread wear is minimal. The tires have been rotated and I have experimented with different tire pressures to no avail. I contacted Michelin on their website but they never responded.

Being honest, I bought these tyres because I had a good deal buying them of a friend second hand. I wouldn't buy part worn tyres but these were hardly worn and £250 for four tyres!
My Discovery 2 is used for mainly transporting my dogs but the difference when I put these tyres on was like night and day. I originally had a mix of Acelera and Fulrun (the car came with these!!) and after seeing/feeling the difference with these Michelin tyres, I'll never buy a budget tyre!
They're amazing in the rain, both around town and on motorways (no snow or ice yet, but I'm confident they'll perform).
I've just done my first green lane travelling over mainly dry rocky ground, with lots of ruts and a few deep muddy ruts and these tyres flew through everything with no issues.
I'm very impressed with these tyres and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them them for any SUV (a family suv wouldn't use them as I have!!!)

Really good balanced tyre. Improved the fuel consumption, ride quality and noise.
