According to the Honda trip computer- I went from 21 to about 20.2 -and its been pretty much the same over the course of a year. I drive city miles practically all year long.
ECO rated tires do as they are advertised.

Many thanks. Happy to know the HR-V performs well in the city. Does great in the 'burbs and country for me.According to the Honda trip computer- I went from 21 to about 20.2 -and its been pretty much the same over the course of a year. I drive city miles practically all year long.

With the larger diameter tires, the car now registers less miles per actual miles driven. This in itself will change the readings of the fuel mileage computer. While according to the mileage computer, it looks like you've lost a bit of fuel economy, it may be the same or even a bit better. To get an accurate calculation, you would have to calculate it by dividing the miles driven by the gallons to refill the tank for a second time.I only had them a couple of days before leaving for a week trip, but here are my intial thoughts.
I drive ~50 miles a day, primarily interstate. I think that the additional diameter actually makes up for some of the deficit of switching to CC2's by allowing the engine to run at ~200-300 rpm lower at 80 mph.
With the Primacy's and stock size, my average mpg for my AWD and lead foot was 26.4 on the dash. I need to drive more, but with my interstate biased driving of larger CC2's, it seems to have settled at 26.2.
I finally got to drive the CC2 on snow. I never had snow tires on any of my cars. I can't compare them to snow tires. But they are definitely way better than all seasons on snow. They just felt sure-footed. I expected my car to fishtail in turns. It never did. There is not much price difference between this and other all-seasons. If you guys are looking for new tires get the all-weather CC2.
Any further feedback on the Michelin Cross Climate all-weather tires?
Family member needs new tires on their GMC Terrain AWD SUV, about the same size as a Honda CRV.
Will be year round use in Calgary, but no mountain driving in the winter.
I like Nokians and have used them for years but the Finland Nokian company is in trouble and really scrambling after moving most of their manufacturing to Russia about 10 years ago...
I'm not a political guy but I'm not buying nor recommend Russian products.
Our HRV actually has Russian made Nokians that we purchased in 2021.
Unexpectedly, the Michelin Cross Climates are nearly the same price as other name brand all-weather tires for this vehicle which has 18" wheels.
The other factor is that the CC's are readily available locally.
I probably should have posted my Michelin CC2 tire query in this thread...
Thanks to everyone for their input.
We did end up going with the Michelin CC2 all-weather tires on the GMC Terrain.
A quick test drive tells me that they are not as good in the snow as Nokian all-weathers, but still quite good.
On dry pavement at highway speeds, they seem to be just fine.
The owner is totally happy with them.
The only concern is that the CC2's only have 10/32's tread depth versus 12/32 tread depth on the Nokian's.
The CC2's are made in the USA!
And, like everything these days, pricey as heck. But about the same price as the Nokian's and other name brand all-weather tires.
CC2s had a big impact on ride over the OEM Contis on our Sport. Still wish we had gone 215/65-16 for the extra sidewall, but decided not to buy new rims this time. Saving that for the eventual move to the PNW.
