I have these tires on my new Toyota. They are comfortable and quiet, but the wet grip is very poor. On wet roads and in the rain, they slide a lot and provide very little traction. Disappointing performance in wet conditions. Disappointing for a premium tire. It might be acceptable for a mid-range tire, but I expected much better performance from a premium brand.

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 Toyota Corolla Cross drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Overall, quite disappointed with these tyres. From day one, the excessive road noise was noticeable at almost any speed, making highway driving noticeably louder than expected.
More frustrating, however, is the sidewall stiffness—or total lack thereof. The tyres constantly feel soft and squishy, leading to a vague, floaty steering response and noticeable body roll in corners. Even after increasing the cold tire pressure well above manufacturer recommendations, they still handled like they were underinflated. Lacks the crisp feedback and composure you want for confident driving. Would not purchase again.
In rainy days with too much water on the road the performance is Not good may be 5 from 10
After 20,000Kms they are wearing very well and they have had just reasonable handling, but they are very harsh and noisy, particularly on concrete style highway.
Changed from factory custom tyres(Bridgestone Alenza)for Corolla Cross . Bridgestone Alenza was one of the worst tires I ve ever used.
The change is dramatic . It is hard to hear road noise below 100 km , above 100 km noise level is very low. The comfort is perfect . While I did not try on wet , dry handling is better than Alenzas. I will update when I try on wet. I believe it will be much better than custom Alenzas.

I am a tire user in Taiwan. This is a Corolla Cross original factory tire. I used it for four years and about 60,000 kilometers before I replaced it.
In the first 20,000 kilometers of use, I feel that the overall use experience is not bad, and there is not much to criticize about the balance in all aspects. However, the experience in the middle and later periods is very poor. First, the noise has increased significantly, and it has reached the original factory level. The technicians were amazed by the situation. Secondly, the rubber of the tires would peel off. This is not an isolated case but a problem faced by many users. I finally chose to replace the tires when the tread depth was about 3mm after 60,000 kilometers, which made me You can feel more secure and confident in the heavy rain in Taiwan’s summer!
