We replaced the OEM run flats yesterday on our '22 NX350H with CrossClimate2's from Michelin. Immediately noticed was how much quieter and smoother the ride has become. In my wife's words, "We now have a Lexus". The difference is pretty dramatic and look forward to seeing if they live up to their reputation in the snow.

As an extra bonus, at least up here, insurance companies recognize these as 4 season tires, meaning a discount of 5% on coverage, the same discount as winter tires. Am seriously considering doing the swap. I have winter tires on rims and my Wife bugs me each season when I get up and down on a step ladder to pull the ~65 pounds each tires + wheels down then up on the rack mounted high on the wall in my garage. These tires would solve that problem. Also need to decide if I want to keep the factory wheels or use the second set of Lexus wheels purchased for the winters.

@Doug007 how many miles had you covered on the Bridgestone RFT’s?

I only ask because I have just replaced the original Bridgestone RFT’s on my 2022 NX 350h with the exact same tyres after 30k miles. I had the same ‘wow effect’ reduction in noise simply because 8mm tread gives a lot smoother and quieter ride than the 3-4mm that was left on the old ones. My wife is happier too. 😬

I am not saying that the CC2’s are not quieter than the Bridgestones, just that the difference may be smaller than people might expect.
