Another Crossclimate question: compatibility

[SimonC]

I've got four Crossclimate SUVs (235/55R17/103V). One has now got a sidewall puncture so needs replacing. I can't get another Crossclimate SUV in that size but can get Crossclimate 2. Are they sufficiently similar that I can mix a Crossclimate 2 and a Crossclimate SUV on the same axle?

is it the same tread pattern ? have you a spare ? maybe swap the spare it may be in bad shape and then put 2 new ones on the same axle ?

Thanks. I'm going to start with one, compare the tyres when it's on, then decide whether to get the second one or not.

My temptation would be put 2 new ones on the front, the best two existing ones on the rear, and the third as a spare.

Cross climate are all season too. I think the tread pattern is the same as have had both tyres fitted but the cross climate 2 has been easier to find recently.

KwikFit put a pair of Cross Climate 2 on the back for £433.90.

VW swapped them onto the front axle whilst Servicing & swapping a suspension bush.

Wow. That was dear. I paid about 140 each for mine with a promotion discount which you claimed back after fitting
