Michelin CrossClimate2 wear concerns

Yep! Spent plenty $$$ on the set at Costco for our Prius V. Wore outer edges much faster. Got about 27k before started getting into secondary rubber. Costco wouldn’t do anything because Michelins written policy says have to be worn evenly across the tread. Michelin wouldn’t do anything because it has to go through an authorized retailer. Costco is one, but since they pointed the finger and Michelin and said I had to deal with them directly, I was out of luck. Still fairly upset about that. Had proof of alignment, rotation, balancing. I got stuck paying full price for the replacement set of tires.
How is it a Michelin issue when a customer doesn't inflate properly and/or has an alignment issue?
 
I have a friend who drives a lot of miles and she has a new set of CC2s. I’ll keep an eye on them. 4 cyl Camry so it’s not a very heavy vehicle or torque monster.
 
The Highlander is a pretty heavy vehicle. The Cross Climate 2 would not be the tire I would pick for that particular vehicle. The Defender would be a much better fit.
I run them on a 2015 Pilot not very worn in 35k miles. I presume it’s “heavy”.
