Am interested to know how quiet you find your new Michelins.
I am currently running Michelin Cross Climate SUV. They do have a rather unique tread pattern but are exceptionally quiet which is a priority for me. So far done about 25000 and still performing well. This is about the mileage at which my previous Scorpion All Seasons started to become noisy. FL2 SD4 XS 2013 Orkney Grey

The Michelins seem great, about 2000 miles on them now.
No perceptible noise difference to the previous Continentals, wet and dry handling and braking all uneventful. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Another bluetooth module seems to have failed in the replacement stereo head unit I fitted last year. (Or the year before?)
The phone just stops pairing with the stereo, not too worried about calls but for streaming my music I really missed it.
There's probably a component could be replaced within the unit if you knew where and what it is but as you can pick up a complete replacement on ebay for around £50 it's probably earier and cheaper just to swap the entire head unit.
20 minutes of dashboard removal and the new ones in and all working again. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Ive had 3 FL2 since 2007, and lots of tyres.
Currently on Michelin Cross Climate SUV 2 - they are the best tyres Ive had - quiet and lasting well and all season with triple mountains (just in case it snows here in the West Mids again) .
I would be happy to pay the extra price they command and have the same again when these wear out. Jules

I agree that Michelin Cross Climate are excellent tyres. I am on my second set of Cross Climate SUV. I note that the noise rating on the Cross Climate 2 is higher than the Cross Climate SUV, 70 v 69, although both are low.
I only got 25000 miles on the fronts last time because the edges were warn. Have increased the pressures by 10 percent this time as I think they might have been underinflated as my gauge was out. Done about 2000 so far but am a little concerned as they show some wear on the edges. Have had the alignment checked and adjusted so will have to wait and see. Ride is as before , quiet composed and surefooted. FL2 SD4 XS 2013 Orkney Grey
