My wife's Honda Pilot has had CrossClimates 2 for three years with over 30K miles on them. These tires have been great in all weather conditions including snow/slush we occasionally get in mid-Atlantic.
Of course, this experience is paired with an excellent AWD system on the Pilot. In my experience the electronic AWD on 450H+ is not as confidence-inspiring as Pilot's, at least with "everyone favorite" Bridgestone RFTs.
The noise level with CC seems to be about the same as it was with OEMs. Based on the current wear, I expect their thread to last 60+K.
The only negative seems to be a reduced fuel economy. I don't keep track of the fuel usage, but it feels somewhat worse than the previous set of tires.

However, the mpg dropped just over two miles per gallon and stayed there until I traded in the RX for a 2024 NX350h.

I replaced the OEM tires with CC2 on 22 NX350 within the first 100 miles, so I did not have a lot of expereince with noise or MPG. What I have noticed on the CC2 is a low tire growl on relatively core asphalt roads- esp at low speeds when in hybrid mode. Just easy to hear every thing there. On new asphalt or concrete, they are acceptablely quite.
But living in Colorado, they are really the best all weather 3Peak tire available for the NX with a long tread life. The tire wear so far has been great. On MPG, I do get around town in summer with relaxed driving 42-44 MPG. In winter it drops with the winter gas and cold about 10%.
Would buy again considering alll the other options, as noted.

Two thumbs up for Michelin CrossClimate2 tires. I had put a set on my wife's previous ride, a 2017 Acura RDX, which we donated to our DIL and son, after our purchase of her 2024 NX450h+. I feel that they are a great tire and found them after seeing many favorable reviews. I plan to replace the RFT's on the NX with these when they wear to a point that they need replacement.
