Michelin CrossClimate2 - 235/55R19 105V Tire

I've gone through a lot of tires over the years, but the Michelin CrossClimate 2's are by far the best tires I've ever owned. The ride is incredibly smooth and quiet, traction is unreal in rain and snow, and they make the car feel planted at all times. Wisconsin weather throws everything at you and these tires handle it without hesitation. Even with my Dodge Challenger, they gave me confidence year-round. You can instantly feel the difference in quality compared to cheaper tires. Expensive? Yes. Worth every penny? Absolutely. I'll be buying these again without question.

First of all, I've owned way more cars than any American should. Like in the upper 80s of personal vehicles in my 30 years of driving. You could say I have a problem. However, I consider it experience. I've driven on pretty much all makes of tire manufacturers across a variety of cars, trucks, SUVs and yep, even mini-vans. I live in southern WI, so we get everything from 110 degree heat to -40 cold including ice, deep snow and sluch, and heavy rains. Long story much shorter, I have yet to find a time in daily driving across highways, city towns, and back roads, where the Michelin CrossClimate 2s have not wildly esceeded my expectations. They take average cars and make them perform the unbelievable. Torrential downpour? Bring an umbrella to get to your car because you don't need help once you get there. 22" of snow? Grab a cup of coffee, because if you want to, you don't need to call into work and stay home. Highway driving and in town driving, experience better stopping, stability, ride quality AND tread life. This tire essentially gives 100% of all season performance, with 95% of a dedicated winter performance tire. There is a reason why I purposefully change to CrossClimate2 tires when I change cars. The only thing I wouldn't use these for is off roading or drifting. They look like they'd have a really loud tire howl but they don't. I've had cars I've put 40,000 miles on that are still over 70% of tread life with these. Stop reading this review and buy them, already! You will not be disappointed, other than wishing you had done it sooner. Not a car person, that's okay. Just a friendly heads up, you'll find yourself telling others who notice them and ask that they should buy them too!
