The Michelin CrossClimate is a good tyre when new!! After one year of use and some wear (12,000 km, 2 mm worn), the best performance is also gone (WET ROAD CORNERS) and this tyre loses grip in corners on wet roads, leading to a feeling of slipping, which is unpleasant for the driver and dangerous.
These tyres were immediately removed and replaced with Conti AllSeason 2, and after a few mm of wear, this feeling remains similar to when they were new; on wet roads, they handle very well and provide a pleasant feeling.
Test: same wet conditions with wet roads, tested in the same corner and speed.
This Michelin is a good tyre when new and dry!! Test it once in the wet in corners after a few thousand km, and you will think differently about purchasing it. Also, test the Conti then, both in corners on wet roads during evasive maneuvers.
The difference is significant.
P.S. Test the tyres after a few thousand km when a few mm have already worn off; that will give a different result and perspective.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Opel Astra K Sports Tourer 1.6 Turbo drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
This is not the cheapest tyre, it's not the quietest and the most comfortable. Also it's not a sports tyre. But it is very grippy and stable in heavy rain, at high speed and in extreme situations like emergency breaking on the highway.
After these 17'500 km (11'000 miles) the minimum tread depth of my Firestone tyres is 5.5 mm. That means, I can expect to drive at least 45'000 km (28'000 miles) until I reach the 1.6 mm mark. According to the last ADAC summer tyre test, this is a good value.
In short: I highly recommend the Roadhawk 2 tyres as safe touring tyre with good value for money.
Summarised, my experience with the T001 where really good. On dry and wet roads the tyres felt very safe, on swiss serpentines as well as driving with 200+ km/h on the german Autobahn. Just trying to take off fast on wet road can result in tyre spin. On tarmac the noise was low, but not really comfortable.
The T001 is categorised as a touring tyre and that's what you get. If you want to push it hard, buy a Potenza Sport or similar. For my the Turanza is a good tyre for every day use.
