Crossclimate + on 19inch M-Sport wheels
Hello all,
It time to replace my tires again... Since winter is quickly approaching I am thinking about getting the crossclimate + so I can keep them all year around. I have read very good reviews about them. I don't have storage space so separate winters and summers are not possible for me. The problem is that Michelin doesn't make them in the front tire size of 225 35r19, but they make them for my rears (255 30r19). Is there any alternative sizes I can put on? Otherwise I will have to go for the Pilot Sport 4s and be worried when the weather is colder. Also, my car is a 435d xdrive. Will these tires be any good for spirited drives? Thank you all in advance! |

Standard sizes for 435d on 19's is 225x40x19 & 255x35x19
Think you will struggle to get any all weather in the front sizes and limited in the rear |

I had the Michelin Climates on my previous car for the winter, excellent tyre in the wet, felt very stable and when you hit standing water the car didn't get pulled around like a summer tyre would.
Wouldn't want to use them in the summer though as they have limited grip in the dry due to the flexible tyre block and lack of rubber in contact with the road. Probable best to use them for winter only and get a summer tyre as well. |

Try Bridgestone Weather Control A005, they have more 19” sizes to choose from than the cross climates and came out top on tests here http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article...e-Overview.htm |

I am considering whether to go for a set of winters for my car this year, the summer tyres will probably last another month and the main thing I liked about the crossclimates was that they were designed to work below temperatures of 7 degrees. As i am going to switch between summer and winter tyres I might go for a dedicated winter tyre this time rather than an all-season.

In the past I’ve used them all year round on a 320d without any issues but I wouldn’t run them all year round on my 325bhp remapped 330d though, I’d prefer the Pilot sport 4 on that during summer. |
