I know I’m a bit thick sometimes and everyone is on about whether they are correct for the guarantee but they still look like 230mm wide to me not 275mm as they where bought and paid for. Isn't that what the thread started about?
This, they just look stretched, which of course they! Michelin have stated that they are correct and so I'm interested in seeing how the look on yours. Mine are on OEM style 799M wheels.
Here’s a couple of pictures not sure if they will help you much though

I don’t push the car to its limits, so can’t comment from that perspective but for my daily use and fun trips they feel just fine in terms of noise levels and grip. Once daytime temperatures drop and you get those cold damp days I just feel more comfortable with these.

The only issue I have had with non star rated tyres is the idrive doesn’t automatically recognise them and you have to input the details manually. The last ones were fitted by BMW
@TTZ4 Yep fitted them on Sunday, just in time for some cold weather and snow! I'm impressed with them, on Sunday morning before the switch, I took the car out with the MPSS on, it was cold and wet and I was a little enthusiastic turning right from a T junction, a quick fish tail in first and then another in second. Now that the CC3S are on, there is just much more grip when the tyres are cold, even on a frosty -2 ºC as we saw this morning.
As for comfort, I would say that they are an improvement in comfort and noise, though my rears are now 275/35 R19 and not 285/30 R20 that came off, so that helps too.

I will add the same experience.
I have recently had cc3's fitted to my 30i MSport and the difference is astonishing.
Unlike the previous Bridgestones, these just grip, even in these less than ideal conditions.
I live in a semi-rural location so the roads don't get treated and it feels no different to driving on a normal dry day now.
Noise and comfort are far better also.
In short, just get them, you won't regret it.

I used to have cc 2 on my Audi tt Quattro
Changed the tyres yesterday to cc3 sport 19 and feel scammed the alloy seems to be popping out more than the tyre it’s self no protection to rim at all and it’s the same inside and out I don’t have pictures of out as it’s on the ramp but got the inside picture but you can see the gap. Surely this must be a fault using same measurements as before.

Image on this website looks stretched to fit so it is intended, seems odd to me
Here is more pictures; I took it to a different tyre place to check if I was going mad. View of outside rim and inside rim. No protection to rim all four tyre like this. 245/35/ r19 , my cc 2 were perfect this is shocking. And because there so stretched I get vibration on motorway. Went back they said they will contact Michelin Monday to see if can come examine and change it.

So, Michelin first reduced the tread depth from 8mm as a standard to 7mm
Claim last as long if not longer
On the Volvo the latitudes used to easily last past 40k… am struggling to make it to 30k
Now this
@sars - suggest you visit a big tyre place (Costco / ATS etc) & ask to compare width to another manufacturer like 4 like in size ratios.
Love the brand, but can’t help feel u / we’re being conned into paying a premium for less, that’s getting less & less
