Michelin Agilis Crossclimate C-Metric

[Bishop]

Hello all-

After a thoroughly confusing trip around the deepest recesses of the interwebs, I finally became satisfied that the C-Metrics were the tire of choice for increasing the poor load capacity of our beloved C-Class Greyhawks. I bought a new set and took off from Alabama a few weeks ago. While in rural Iowa, the inside passenger duality tire valve blew. The valve- not the tire. My TPMS saved the day and the tire.

I don’t necessarily attribute the failure to Michelin- more to the installers in Alabama. Or maybe my stubborn application of a TPMS sensor to an inside tire valve extender? I feel like the vibration caused the valve to fail. Yikes! My bad.

Otherwise, the tires have been dreamy. Smooth ride. I do not detect any more stiffness than the Hankook factory set. I like em. I recommend em. And they look kinda cool?

3,500 miles so far and (other than the misstep in Iowa), all is well. Please reply if any other knuckleheads like me have tried-out the C-metrics with perhaps more success and/or grace? Thanks.

I recently put them on my Ram 3500 dually TV and have nothing but good things to say about them thus far!

Nice! Good to hear I’m not alone.

Wanted to ask how the Michelin Cross Climate C Metric tire is working out for you.

Do the one you installed have the directional tread pattern? If so any issues or concerns?

[Bishop]

They were excellent. I put several more thousand miles on em before I traded in for a bus. And yes, they were the directional tread pattern.

Thanks for your response. I've been trying to decide what tire to use. I definitely want to go with a C Metric for the additional weight cushion.

Do you have any additional advice? Thanks again...
