Michelin CrossClimate2 - 215/50R17 95V Tire

CrossClimate 2 is the best tire I've ever owned, bar none. Expensive, but worth every penny. First off, its made in the USA. Second, I put over 43,173 miles on my first set...on a heavy, sporty, fun Audi eTron battery EV. 3.1 years, averaging almost 14k miles/yr. Lots of HP, even more torque, 5500 pounds, spirited driving practically every day, heavy cornering, and even towing. And over 43k miles on these tires and still not down to the tread wear replacement mark!!! Unfortunately, we had a catastrophic puncture and decided it was time to replace all 4 after realizing they were over 3 years old already! The tires from the factory were TRASHED after 27k miles and 2 yrs, so we were stunned to realize we achieved 43k out of these CrossClimate 2's! Third, as the tires wore, they were practically just as grippy in rain and snow. And fourth - the entire reason we bought them in the first place was for the epic traction in rain and snow. Safety is paramount; the longevity, sportiness, and comfort were simply great bonuses along the way. Thank you, Michelin. There are some engineers out there somewhere that are the true unsung heroes of the day here.

In my experience, new tires always ride better than the worn out ones being replaced. These are somehow even better! Dry pavement feels like I'm glued to the road, and wet pavement is no sweat. As of this review, i haven't done any snow driving yet, but I hope to be pleasantly surprised by the performance
