Update on tires: i just had my CC2's replaced by Goodyear's Eagle F1 Asymmetrical 6's and my troubles are gone! 😁 The car now is stable in a straight line and it does not pull to right anymore. Happy me! I noticed that the Michelins have a 91 load index whereas the Goodyears are 94. Could that have any baring on my problems with the CC2's? Keeping the CC2's although not sure what I'll do with them.

I have THE EXACT same issue with my current 17" Michelin Crossclimate 2 tires. Had alignment done twice to no avail. The last time was with the Lexus dealer. Reading your experience gives me hope that it's indeed caused by the tire. I will have them replaced but will wait until after winter. Currently favoring the Goodyear F1 Eagle.

In my 2019 IS300h, I now have a weird behaviour with bluetooth icw. an iPhone 15 Pro Max. I play music and then when I pause, the music starts playing again as soon as I turn the volume knob on the dashboard. Sound familiar?

Great video thanks! In know the channel, they have good reviews. Nice to hear his comments on the bridgestones match my own experience (steering feel, noise and comfort). The Conti’s are definitely interesting. based. Checking more reviews on tirereviews.com the Goodyear Asymmetric have more comfort at still very good performance and stability so i still favour these.

Thanks for the honest feedback. I’m still pondering what to do. Fact is my previous bridgestone sport tires had very good handling and were very stable. Things i miss with the cc2 despite several checks and realignments. Going back to a sportier tire may be a subjective move but i don’t know what else to try.

The issues were immediately and since then I’ve done about 10k on them. i then had the wheels realigned which marginally improved the situation. then i went to a Lexus specialist who found nothing wrong with the tires nor the ditting, and did another wheel realignment and calibrated the steering wheel, which further improved the situation. but what remains is that the tires are not stable in a straight line and you always have to be alert that it starts drifting, usually to the right (our roads are lower on the right hand side) and it’s worse at higher speeds. But sometimes all is well so i think the tire is just very sensitive. I read somewhere that the tire surface, veinf slightly concave with no central grooves give it worse straight line stability, especially on a tear wheel drive car. i find this web page which is a perfect fit to to my issues, which is who I’m considering replacement. https://motorhungry.com/michelin-crossclimate-2-problems/

I’ve had the alignment checked twice by different garages. Pressures are ok. i have found references that these are problems that can occur with rear wheel drive cars. I have previously used the cc gen1 on my ct200 without issues.

3 years oh dear … thanks for your response! I currently have the cross climate 2 all season tires and the ride is subpar. The car pulls to one side and is very sensitive to wind and road characteristics. Nothing like my previous Bridgestone Sport tires, but these were very noisy with poor economy.

Please update us when you have a better view of tire performance! I’m on the look out for these tires too 😁

The CT (and Prius) is built like a tank. Indestructible. I have owned 3 over the course of 10 years for daily commuting and had 0 issues (drove approximately 250k kms) though there have been reports of rare head casket failures. Over the last 4 years (bar corona lock downs) my commute was 2x16 km.
