I have a MME GT Performance coming the week of 10/25. I plan on taking the Pirelli summer tires off immediately. I am considering the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and probably run them year round.
Anybody have any experience with this tire?

I Googled for this tire, but apparently the weight load is different (not XL). I don't understand anything about tires so I'm not sure if we can use it

I had these on my previous EV and they were very good tires and MUCH better than the stock on that car. They had good wet traction and handling. I can't speak to ice or snow.

They also wore very very very well. 30k miles on them and could barely tell.

I will say that I am swapping my summer tires for winter, which I do on my Audi every year as well. I'll be getting either of these:

I have them on my Acura RDX. They are not going to give you enough traction to be happy on a GT/GTPE. Get a performance oriented A/S if you aren't going to go for a full out summer tire.

I like the sound of that! My wife will be most of the driving of the MME, so I want something that will keep her out of trouble.

I agree with @Mach E JT that those tires are not performance oriented. On fast starts off the line they would struggle. But I personally liked them in wet weather better than the Scorpions on my Audi.

The GT has too much torque for the all-seasons it came with and it cannot properly put its power down. There is noticeable wheel spin and I also feel it on the steering wheel too. This car needs sporty summer tires. If I lived in a cold place I would keep the summer tires as long as possible and just put winter tires when the winter start.

p.s. I came from another EV with similar power and that had the amazing Michelin 4S summer tires and the difference the tires make is very noticeable.
