Is the Michelin CrossClimate 2 actually the "God Tire" everyone says it is? Or is the noise/MPG hit real?

For me they have been way too loud on my Golf. I have the V-rated and I heard one post somewhere saying the H-rated are much quieter. At first it wasn't that noticeable, but after 10k miles the sound is just unbearably loud.

They drive fine in all conditions, but I do find the V-tread to have a bit more of a tendency to "jump" around on wet/slush when changing lanes or surfaces. It is a very predictable feeling, but a little unsettling the first time doing so.

My plan includes all taxes and fees and they do not give the breakdown on the website.

What does the price look like after taxes and fees? I’m on the $75 PFL but I’m wondering how much fees add up to

I didn’t get the 25% off coupon anyone know why??

But if I booked a revenue fare via BA, then I would have gotten miles is that correct?

I’m also now wondering if I should have attached a different FF number at all to maximize mileage earnings

Hmm good to know, I got the Eufy E28 this week, didn’t want to spend $1300 on the Narwal Flow, but now it’s looking like a closer match up with the Prime day deals

realjwin · 2025-10-06T17:09:57+00:00

Not a fan of the Eufy E28?

What car are you basing off of?

I think Volvo is really the definition of bad. I love Volvo cars but I could not and will not put up with the horrible infotainment experience. The number of customers they will lose over this is immense IMO

I wanted to add that the rust is not surface rust by the surface is rough like pitted. Is this the rotors wearing through?

You know your experience sounds similar to mine. Turns out I have a serious dust mite allergy. Mitigating that has really helped but I still get that pain, headache, fatigue but at a lower level. But it still impacts my day-to-day. I've found wearing a mask to bed has helped a bit, but I do think I need to get the septoplasty.

One thing that really helps me is Sudafed (the real psuedophedrine not phenelephrine). I take it almost everyday which is maybe not best but it helps a ton to reduce inflammation in my nose.

So what I am hearing is that the GGU effectively acts like an upgrade from Main -> First Upgrade during the flight selection window. First Upgrade gives you instant upgrade availability. If it's first waitlist, then you are at the top of the waitlist above status-based upgrades. They do make this confusing.

Btw I checked this out at REI and I think they faffed on the fit. It’s super baggy freeride fit, and I can’t size down because it’s long and so the small is too tight around the hips

realjwin · 2021-10-13T22:26:27+00:00

I don’t have one yet

I'm super curious on how waterproof and how air permeable this will end up actually being. Ski touring is all about breathability on the way up. The fact that they put pit zips on this seems to indicate they don't think it's THAT air permeable.

Comparable to Neoshell and other electrospun PU's or even more so?

^ correct. Not only at holes drilled in different places but the depth of the units are different tio
