Just gone for Michelin Cross Climate to keep on all year , fitting this morning . FL2 gone now in 2016 Discovery 4 Loire Blue .

I've just had Cross Climates fitted (last Monday). I know folk in the tyre business and it takes something special to impress them. They've been very impressed by the Cross Climates. I'll be interested on how they perform. So far so good.

We have a clash of info with some members saying they have Crossclimate tyres and Michelin saying they are not on the market yet ?????

Mine are 235 60 18 fitted yesterday , I know they have only recently become available in SUV sizes . FL2 gone now in 2016 Discovery 4 Loire Blue .

My Tyres are showing in stock for 235 65 17 108W FL2 gone now in 2016 Discovery 4 Loire Blue .

I have the Cross Climates on 235/56R17 108. I can confirm that they have only recently become available, certainly when I inquired at Kwik Fit they were not on the system but were ordered direct from Michelin. They should become more widely available shortly.

Thanks for that W rating is the difference as standard tyres are V. I assume an insurance company cannot quibble if you up the speed rating  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Spent the last 20 minutes looking for Crossclimates. Seems ATS are the best deal today when compared to Kwik fit. at £535.12 for 4 fitted. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Hi Yorky,

Just in case it is more convenient for you, Kwik Fit will price match...

I've got Avon zx7, wasn't the tyre's I originally wanted (Firestone destination HP).. After some research on the Avon's they seem good with an 'A'wet rating C for fuel & 70dB...nice and quite and with real grip on the corners...I've no idea how they'll preform in the cold but the winters are mostly wet up here with few snowy days these days. It seems Avon were OE on prestigious cars of the past...

Currently on Michelin Defender LTX M/S 235/55R 19in for the past 10mos. A solid all around tire for those spending most of their time on pavement. Quiet on the highway, but plenty confident in the mountain snow. These are siped (sp?) and extra load rated. Much better on ice than the OEM Contis ever were.

 Wait...you get 17in steel wheel options, diesel engines, manual transmissions, cloth seats, optional sunroofs and G4 kit!

CrossClimates now on and so far not that much quieter (if at all) than the Wranglers but I did switch them front to back to get even wear. They are still bedding in I guess. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
