I had researched the Yokohama and read all the reviews on tirerack.com and others sites. The big think is that they don't get close to the mileage that it's claimed and the CC2 are a tab lower price also.

 

Im at 41K miles now. I didnt do any rotations and have been driving on regular roads....but I also swapped out my RFs for winters in Nov so probably that's why.

 

The new Toyota Crown Signia has non-run flat tires and no spare. I believe it comes with an air compressor like Acura did in the past.

 

Toyota leads Lexus follows. Leads to the prediction, the demise of RFT and adding an air compressor ...maybe as soon as the 2026 NXs

YMMV,

Thanks. I'll ask Tire Rack what they think about quiet and ride of the CC2's in 20x235x50.

 

One thing that stood out compare the Michelin CC2 vs Yoko Geolandar X-CV is that the Michelin will probably have a harder compound so the ride is stiffer but the Yoko is a softer compound but those will give a softer ride also not last the mileage claim.

 

Thank you. Yes, TR's complaint with the CC2 is that it is a little "taut". Sized in 18"x60 that tautness may not be as noticeable as it would be in a 20"x50 size. I'm willing to trade lengevity for ride comfort and go with the Geolander X-CV if necessary.

 

I had to replace my OEM RFTs in my 2022 NX 450h+ f sport with the CC2's from Discount Tire. So far I am very impressed...the road noise is significantly less and the ride way is more comfortable per my wife. I wish Lexus did not switch to RFTs for the 2022+ NX. This is how a luxury vehicle should drive.

 

My wife and yours are on the same wavelength. It's a remarkable difference in quiet and smoothness...what one would expect from a luxury vehicle. I've put in about 500 miles in city, highway and mountain driving and have continued to be impressed. CC2's are the top rated all weather tires per Consumer Reports.

 

……. And my wife and I are still enjoying the cushioning given by the extra 5mm on our new replacement RFT Bridgestones - ride is much smoother and quieter than the original worn tyres.

 

What rim size do you have on your 450h+f sport?

 

I bought the Crossclimate 2 last summer. What I enjoy more is driving fast my otherwise slow hybrid in heavy rain when everyone else even in sports cars chickens out!

 

The stock 20" f-sport rims

 

Thanks!
I'm guessing all f-sports come with 20" rims? My 350h (non-f-sport) is coming with 20" rims and I'll be replacing the oem runflat Bridgestones Alenzas. Trying to decide between the Yokohama Geolander X-CV and the CC2s . I just worry about noise and ride of CC2s in a 50 series profile.

 

If you get a flat with a NRF tire, how does a compressor help?
