Michelin CrossClimate2 wear concerns

[AutoMechanic]

Ours are wearing on the inside of the tread. Based on my experience any vehicle that’s primary FWD always wears tires on the outside and inside edges or just one or the other. It can be in alignment all the time and still wear them it’s just the nature of it. Also those unless you buy the special bolt kit that’s crazy expensive you can’t adjust anything up front except toe so I’d double check that someone has installed the camber bolts.

The city driving with a lot of turns may be the large factor. Going by my father-in-law's Renegade, all his tires wore very fast, like 1/2 the rated life. I had to adjust pressures to get decently even tread wear and edges definitely had issues. He is almost all around town driving.

There's a real metric in evaluating tire wear called "turns per mile" that's intended to quantify the idea you're intuiting here. Yes, frequent turns will absolutely lead to premature tire wear.

2018 rogue. I gave up and ordered pro contacts. Continental has never let me down, neither has Michelin till this set. Walmart (gulp) will install a set for less than $500, which is half as much as I spent on the cc2s that I’m going to make some tire guy at Walmart happy with when I leave them. This is a 3rd car that I bought new and is immaculate and Michelin has made me despise driving it anywhere outside of town.

I would get Continental DWS06+

I have them on a 2014 CRV and a 2018 Legacy Sport. No issues at all and didn't notice a MPG drop. Well, at least not in the Legacy. Not too sure about the CRV because I don't really drive it; wife does. I don't know how many miles on each atm but I got them installed maybe 2 1/2 years ago. DOing quick math, I can say that a rotation every 6k/6m, I have maybe 30k on the Legacy. No idea on the other. I would have to look to see mileage when they were installed and what the mileage is at now. But I would say close to the same on the CRV. No uneven wear that I noticed and decent tread left.

Not available for my car or I would. That’ll be the next tire I put on my personal daily driver. The tire shop owner has them on his stinger and said they’re one of the best tires he’s ever had.

This isn’t thread worthy and I hate to hijac the OP but I just got back from getting my new pro contacts installed and FINALLY got rid of the CC2s. My gosh were those awful! I replaced wheel bearings (probably wasn’t needed) and was considering new control arms and having the transfer and rear diff checked out. Turns out it was just tires. No more humming that bordered on a zing, no more 80mph vibrations. Just dead silence and smooth sailing. Good riddance!
