Taller 17" All-Terrain Tires for OEM Wheels

FWIW, the CrossClimate2 has been superseded by the CrossClimate3.

It's quite a flex for Michelin to do that. According to a review I watched (or read, it's been a while) they improved upon the CC2 in every category other than a trivial drop in Rolling Resistance.

Edit: There's also a new CrossClimate3 Sport.

That's some good info, thanks AZ. The Cross Climate line has been on my radar for a while, both for our ID.4 and the Slate Truck that I hope ends up in our driveway

245/70R17 will undoubtedly be a popular choice for the Truck. It's same width as the stock 17" tire, but taller by one inch.

This size hits a sweet spot for a few of reasons.
- 1/.2" of extra radius is unlikely to require a lift.
- Some tire choices in this size aren't especially heavy.
- On-road compromises will be relatively low.

Goodyear Wrangler Adventure with Kevlar: 37 lbs, 30.6" (Standard Load)
