Bridgestone Weather Control A005 vs Michelin CrossClimate 3 — Compared

“Ordered Bridgestone Weather Control A005’s and paid for at Tyreleader (they state they only list what they ha e in stock) to then get reply stating out of stock but will take 3-5 working days to pay me back grrr so then ordered from openeo (was out of stock the day before) to then be told they are out of stock but can get some someone else for £6 per tyre more so agree and pay difference to then be told they can’t get from other supplier. Agreed to wait until Monday to see if stock comes in of will then cancel order grrr”

“So I have my Bridgestone Weather Control A005’s on now. Although weather has not been too bad yet, a bit wet but nothing major but am happy how quiet they are. No real noticeable difference from the standard summer tyres for sound and breaking all seems great. Wait for snow (if it comes) to see how well they perform”

“I don't know what you wrote but I just purchased cross climate 3 to my Enyaq. Quite quiet and so far good.”

“CC3 are not available in the US as they where only released in the UK in July and no plans on the US market yet.”

“First 5 thousand km on Cross Climate 3s Got a set of Michelin Cross Climate 3s put on a couple of months ago. I’ve learned these aren’t available in the North American market; I’m located in Korea. They’re a noticeably better ride than the stock tires. Smoother over bumps and the car feels more stable around curves on the highway, etc. Haven’t gotten any snow since I put them on but they feel confident in rain. Also, they don’t lose grip or spin on ‘spirited’ launches from a red light. The range hit has been pretty small. I averaged 13.0 kWh/100km after about 57 thousand km on the stock tires and have been getting 13.9 since putting these on. Just wanted to offer some basic input on them! Haven’t tried them in snow yet but people seem pretty happy with winter performance on the 2s and I don’t expect these will be dramatically different. Highly recommended. Read more”
