Just put a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires on my 2019 Acadia. Let you know how they handle in the snow.

Looking forward to it
Have 20” GY Weatheready’s on ‘18 SLT. Will need replacing this year, still good in snow, but getting loud on dry road. Would like to know noise level of Cross Climates. + Should they be remounted (inside to out) on wheels during life to achieve proper wear ?

Just don't expect them to wear for over a long number of miles if you leave them on all season.
My s-i-l had them on his Colorado truck and I think they went about 35,000 miles and the last 6 months he had them on had very shallow tred left.
He went with Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S this time. Says they are quiet running despite the AT appearance, ride smoothly and so far very good even in +12" of loose and packed snow we had the last week.

In fact, I do believe if a person wanted to, you could get a set of "take off" 17" Colorado or GMC Canyon wheels, mount the tires on them and they should fit fine on a C!xx Acadia as far as I can tell.
It would be a pretty good winter tire and if snow comes and goes still be a good road tire or even for all season use.
Both the Colorado/Canyon and the C1XX vehicles (Acadia) use a 6X120mm bolt pattern.
But the mounting offsets between the two are significantly different (1” +) because FWD-based nature of C1XXs. So while wheel spacers could be used to properly mount an Acadia wheel on a Colorado the inverse can’t be done w/o making a mess of the steering geometry/pinch points.

Well not much of a test, so far. On dry pavement they seem smoother riding. No trouble in the rain either. Today we got rain, then 3 inches of heavy, wet snow on top of that (we were expecting up to 8 inches). This was the kind of snow that kids dream of for snowball fights. Wet, soft and readily compacts into the perfect hard snowball. To get the streets cleared faster my city will declare a snow emergency at 3 inches and you have to get your vehicles off the street. I parked my Acadia in our dirt alley, about 500' from the street. After the snow stopped, I cleaned it off, got in, fired it up and easily drove through the wet snow,
Just put the same ones on my 2016.
