Interesting - I've got the same model as you and the std tyres are awful if accelerating hard. I just assumed that it was the effect of FWD (This is my first FWD car for many many years). The Cross Climates differ from many other all season tyres in that instead of being a winter compound that is modified for all year use, they are based on a summer compound. As such they are probably better suited to UK climate. Did you fit the Cross-climates all round & what have you done with the Pirellis?
