Will be replacing tires soon on my wife's 19 300h w/18" wheels. While the Cross Climates, which I like, are on my 20 GLS 450 which I bought it in November, on Tire Rack a new tire, the Bridgestone Weatherpeak is number 1 of 61 (CrossClimate2 is number 2) in Grand Touring All Season category.
Anyone had experience with these?

When I bought the GLS I talked to the "tire expert" at the MB dealership. The CrossClimates are considered MO (Mercedes Original) and recommended for the vehicle. I was told the tires are great, with the only negative being that when they get some wear, they will generate some noise (as will most/all tires).

Michelin Crossclimate2 100H (fuel mileage) concerns
I have replaced m OEM tire recently on my 2019 NX300h with 65K miles. I got the tires from Bjs. I have been using these tires in 4 weeks. I find out that the gas mileage decrease a lot. when I filled up a full tank of gas, I usually get 460 miles. After I replaced with michelin cross climate 2, the gas mileage drop down to 420 miles. I lose around 30 miles every time when I pump the gas.
I just want to check if anyone has this experience with this tires? I called Michelin, they said i can replace another set of tires at bjs base on the 60 days customer satisfaction. I will check one more week if that is still like that I will replace it. Let's me know what you think of the mileage of this tire. thank you

Vredestein itself stamps on the tire's sidewall that it has a UTQG expected tread life rating of 400. By comparison, the CrossClimate II is rated at 640. I'm not saying this as a criticism, since I knew it when I bought them and they also cost a lot less. I suspect they made the engineering choice of soft rubber, maximizing all-weather traction at the expense of MPG and tread life. Our OEM tires make exactly the opposite choice to maximize the car's EPA mileage rating, and I didn't want their traction compromises. Hey, nothing has lower rolling resistance than a ball bearing, but you wouldn't want to depend on one for cornering grip.

And not a true A/S. I wouldn't buy it. There is no way a tread pattern that aggressive will last long, be quiet, and handle well, especially in the dry.

I've had my CC2s since October and they're great. And they look great, too. They were the top rated tire in their category on tirerack.com when I bought them. I couldn't be more pleased.

I just made another observation with these Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires. With the OEM Bridgestone Turanza EL440 tires my speedo was off by 2mph at highway speed. If my speedo showed 80 my actual GPS speed was 78. With the Michelins my speedo and actual speed are in sync.

I have them on my RX 450h for the last 12,000 miles and still very happy with the purchase.

Well I'm still happy with my factory installed Michelin Energy Saver A/S - smooth, quiet and I have no complaints about the mileage.

I purchased the CC2s knowing they would have an adverse effect on MPG’s - after all I was getting rid of the Turanzas because of the low rolling resistance. I wanted a tire that would really stick to the road in any weather situation. As far as the aggressive appearance, I too thought they would look ridiculous on a Lexus but to my surprise they look great (IMO). So for what its worth “I’m still happy and I will let you folks know if the road noise or ride changes”
