Michelin Agilis CrossClimate vs Michelin Energy MXV4+ — Compared

“Agilis Crossclimate vs Agilis LTX as a summer tire for a pickup? Daily driver Chevy 3/4 ton pickup. I've got a set of winter tires that I run from Nov-Mar but I need to replace my summer tires. Mediterranean climate, so dry summers. 99% of my driving is city/highway, maybe 1-5 days per year on dry dirt roads. I'd like to go with the crossclimate since they're about $200 cheaper for the set. I guess the Defender LTX just got rebranded Agilis LTX. I know the Defender LTX is a very popular light truck tire. Y'all think I can get away with the crossclimate and save a couple hundred bucks?

“Anyone tried Michelin Agilis CrossClimate tires on a Bolt? Following the info from I have picked up some used 15" Sonic wheels for winter use here in Maine. I can get Michelin Ice snow tires in an equivalent 15" size (to match the circumference of the stock tire/wheel) but not Cross Climate 2s. However, this Agilis is available in a near equivalent. It appears to be a heavier tire designed primarily for delivery vans Google AI suggests it has a slightly higher rolling resistance to the CC2s, which many report to have about a 10% hit on range - although any new tire will be less efficient than a well-worn one, so we should take that info with a grain of salt The Michelin Energy Saver tires are obviously more efficient, but also rated poor for use in snow. I'm a bit torn between "proper" snow tires and the Agilis, which I could run all year round One other factor is that smaller wheels tend to be more efficient - to a noticeable extent on EVs, so it just might be a wash as far as efficiency goes Read more”

“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.”
