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.

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
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.
“I had a set on my Ford Transit 350 van. They were outstanding tires. IIRC I had them for maybe 20k miles. Wear seemed to be fine. But they were excellent in the wet and on snow and they were reasonably quiet. I never used them on anything more than wet grass and that van was terrible with traction on anything but the road, anyway, so I wouldn't evaluate a tire on grass or soft ground based on it.”
“I went out and looked at the sidewall of my 6 yr. old Defender LTX's and the tread and sidewall belts are the same as your newer Agilis Cross Climates. Tread 2 polyester + 1 polyamide + 2 steel Sidewall 2 polyester Wish they still made my size so I could just buy a new set of the same as I hate shopping around for tires. But manufacture date on mine is the 48th week of 2018 (coming up on 6 years in a couple of months). They were installed in February 2019. The Agilis is still the highest rated Michelin mode, so I figured on getting those until your post. Tire track has an A/T 2 model that for some reason is $50 per tire more. I can get $80 off until 9/23 so I would like to go ahead and decide, but I'm not there yet.”

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.
