“We have the Agilis cross climates on our C-class 3.5t MH and have been utterly delighted with them. They’re quiet, really grippy and give a great ride. What’s not to like?”

Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

Community sentiment toward the Michelin Agilis CrossClimate is largely positive, with owners of vans, RVs, and heavy-duty trucks praising its wet and snow traction, quiet ride, and capability under heavy loads. However, discussions frequently highlight trade-offs such as faster tread wear compared to the Defender series and concerns regarding an NHTSA recall on certain C-metric sizes for snow traction marking non-compliance. Prospective buyers also note confusion regarding the differing directional C-metric and non-directional LT-metric designs.
“We are the same as you - 98% paved road. I just put a set of Michelin Agilis CrossClimates on my '01 E250 (LT225). Perfect ride - stable and quiet. But I only have one trip on them. I did notice that even after only 4000 miles I can easily measure some tread wear. Maybe this is normal, but I'm not sure how long they will last. But so far the road performance is very good.”
“I have the Cross Climates on my 3500 and although they have less than 10,000 miles on them they are great so far. One thing about Discount Tire, I love them for all my other cars but I'm a bit leery of taking a Sprinter to them. There are several cases of damage due to lifting Sprinters at the wrong points but perhaps the bigger issue is that they do not have (at least none of the stores in Tucson) the proper Mercedes centering tool that fits the Sprinter wheels and makes sure they are absolutely centered on the balancing machine. A local big truck and motorhome shop here has it and that's where I go for tire service on the Sprinter. See post #9 here:”
“Lapland - Tyre Advice - Michelin Agilis Crossclimate Grateful for the knowledge/experience of the good people of r/Finland . I ordinarily use studded tyres for my van, but planning a roadtrip down to Germany/France over the new year (so can't fit these). I've no experience with friction tyres on snow/ice, but have Michelin Agilis Crossclimate [ . These have the 3PMSF marking so I understand are technically legal in Finland for winter, but I'm not sure about safety/performance in Lapland (route being: Tornio, to Sweden and then down via Denmark.) Good to hear people's views, or if you've experience with these types of tyres in this environment? UPDATE: Really appreciate the comments and views put forward on this. By the debate it seems I’m not alone in being not clear about winter performance of a tyre rated 3PMSF but not a “true” Nordic friction tyre. It does not make economic sense to buy new winter friction tyres for a road trip. So thinking about packing the Michelins, driving the studded tyre and getting them swapped/stored in Denmark or South Sweden and then swapping back on return. A pain in ass, a waste of space but the least risky approach. If anyone’s done similar let me know your experience.”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
