BEST TIRE EVER

Purchased the Cross Climate 2 tires for our Volvo XC90 three months ago. I have been purchasing Michelin tires for over 40 years and always replace original tires with Michelins. Immediately noticed an improvement in ride quality in all aspects over the original tires. The reide was quieter, smoother and the vehicle tracked better. We took a 3,000 mile trip shortly after we put on the new tires and exxperienced about a half mile per gallon increase in mileage.. NOw that we have driven the car on both snow and ice I must say that in our opinion the best tires we have ever owned. The traction and stopping during winter driving conditions in the midwest is superb. I have recommended these tires to many friends and relatives.

Incredible traction in the heaviest rains!!

I bought a set of these tires for my Subaru Outback 3 months ago. I've driven just over 8500km on them so far, just had them measured at the garage the other day, no wear so far on the front, and the rear are only down 1/32". I hear the wet tire ruts before I feel them, these tires push the water away so well. They are very quiet and smooth driving in dry and wet conditions too!! I'm definitely sold on these and will be getting them again when I need a new set.

Nice Tire Some Noise

Purchased in Sept 2021. Very nice ride for 2019 Forester. Tires have howling noise at 25-35 mph then noise goes away with deeper tread noise. Dealer insists it is tires and not car. Overall very happy except for the around town howling noise. Have same tires on another 2015 Forester and noise is barely audible.

Very impressed

Much better than expected.  Really good in the deep wet snow.   Excellent in wet.  Also good on dry, in fact very good. I run studded Michelin North 4 in winter for our brutal climate (calgary) but I had to leave them on late into the spring as we get late snow and my summers were performance summers and you dont dare go on any snow what so ever.  Three sets is too much for 90 percent of drivers but this saves my studs for the dec / jan feb when I need then.  In fact they are so good on dry that when my performance summers wear out i'll just use these. in my size.  225/40/18    the Cross climate 2 are 90 percent of my pilot sports   The compromise for winter was not as much as I was expecting and the same for summer ,  They are a tiny bit noisy compares to a luxury touring tire.

Great even in wet conditions!

These are terrific tires, let me tell you. Dry, wet, snow - conquers them all. I used to have Toyo Celsius All-Weather and the Cross Climate 2 was my 2nd set. If I am just comparing the two, it's not even in the same league. My experience with the Toyo tires was terrible in wet conditions. It just felt so unsafe to drive the car; in fact I rear-ended another car just because it had such bad grip in wet condition. That experience made me reluctant to get another All Weather. Since I had a good experience with Michelin in the past and know they are one of the top brands, I decided to go for it one more time. And I can tell you, the grip in all conditions have been great so far, way way way better than the Toyo. It may seem unfair to compare from my old car, a front wheel drive sedan (Toyo) to new car, AWD SUV (Michelin), but the braking says it all. No matter what car you drive, the braking is the same - or in fact worse for AWDs since they are heavier. With the Michelin on, I have no fear of driving even in wet conditions, and in fact even feel confident. The one minor downside is tires are slightly noisier than the stock for me. But performance justifies this minor issue. In all, these are the "almost-perfect" set of tires for practical use.

Excellent upgrade after replacing the tires that came on my Jetta

So I drive for a living as a courier and purchase tires every couple of years. This is my third set of CrossClimate's and the grip and handling is such a huge upgrade from the stock tires that come on the vehicles. It's always a little stark because as tires get to the end of their life, you feel them lose their grip in wet and dry situations, but they roll very easy which leads to the best mileage you'll ever get in a vehicle. When swapping to these you instantly notice the grip on turns, how straight the car stays even when tires slightly spin in the rain, and the significantly shorter stopping distance. I typically drop about 4-5 mph in small sedans upon initial switching, but the safety advantages make driving so much easier on my mind! We've had these on a 2020 Honda Civic Hatchback, a 2015 Toyota Sienna Minivan, and now on my 2023 VW Jetta. The improved performance and safety was felt immediately when switching from all the vehicles previous tires, including another Michelin in the van. So while I wish they rolled a little better for gas mileage, I still have to give them 5 stars for overall performance and safety! *They are also very quiet!

Worth the money?

I bought these tires in September, 2020. The tread pattern had me intrigued but unsure. Winter control conventionally comes from a deep tread, soft rubber compound, and lots of sipes. The croosclimate2 does not look like that but it has proven itself so far. The tire resisted hydroplaning during the fall rains and does not show the usual resistance when going through puddles at highway speeds. So far, December, we have had very little snow, 3", but it handled it very well. The freezing rain and ice have been an issue this year and these tires have out-performed my Michelin defenders. I realize that the two are not in the same performance class but I have always had great service from the Defenders, T&H. Crossclimates are an excellent option if you are not going to purchase a dedicated winter tire. We sould be seeing -25°C at Christmas. I don't believe I will be disappointed. ☆ It should also be mentioned that the mountain snowflake symbol, according to my research, signifies a minimum improvement in traction of 10% over all-season tires. This may not sound like alot but it is a minimum of 10%, and the Crossclimate2 are noticeably better than all-seasons. Stay safe.

Awesome on the Airstream Atlas

Just had these tires put on my 2022 Airstream Atlas as i was going do some driving in the snow. Just drove from South Carolina to Northern Michigan with the last 4 hours in a blizzard. Cant say enough about how the tires performed....Airstream should make them standard

JUST TOOK OFF A SET I PURCHASED 4 1/2 YRS AGO 84,555 MILES ON THEM AND 4/32 TREAD DEPTH LEFT. UNBLIEVABLE RIDE & TRACTION ALL THRU THE LIFE OF THE TIRES. I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS TIRE FOR ANY TYPE OF VEHICLE. THE RIDE WAS BETTER THAN THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. THANKS MICHELIN D. SCOTT RAMSEY
