Exceeded Expectations

This tire has exceeded my expectations. I've only purchased Michelin tires (except once) for my vehicles. As recently as a month before I bought these actually. I wish I would have decided on these for my other purchase. They are good but nothing like these. If you are looking for a true multi weather (not season) tire the CrossClimate2 is truly amazing. This winter was a great test bed for this review. We've had 8+ in snow falls, sleet, ice, rain, and nice weather so far and I can't say enough about how well this tire handles the elements. Really amazing in rain. I don't want to say that I speed but I will say that I'm not sure at what speed you could get these tires to hydroplane. I couldn't get them to. I don't hear any road noise at high speed and was impressed with the snow and ice capabilities too. These are great if you live in an area where you truly have all types of weather each year. When it's time to replace the factory Michelin's on my wife's car, this will be my choice. No more research needed. The price tag is well worth it. When you cost justify what you feel is expensive you have to keep in mind that you will rely on your tires for years. You should always want a high quality tire under you.

Very well, made tire handles good but my only chief complaint that is a dealbreaker for me. Is the tires get really loud after about 20 or 30,000 miles I'm ready to take them off. I've got them on a Lexus and it sounds like I'm driving a truck with mud tires and I do keep it aligned in the tires balance.

Thread life so short, it makes Kevin Hart look tall

Michelin has always been my go to tires, but I am getting a bit frustrated with its thread life. Put on Premier LTX before the Cross Climate 2. While the Premier LTX lasted only lasted 36,718 miles instead of the promised 60,000 miles in nearly three years of use, the Cross Climate 2 only saw 30,000 miles before the dealer refused to service them. After switching to the more expensive Cross Climate 2 with deeper threads, I thought I would get longer life but alas, here we are after only 30,000 miles of use and threads are already below 2/32" according to the dealer. While the tires are good otherwise, thread life of 30000 for tires with a promise of 60000 miles is simply not acceptable. Basically crapping out at half the warranty distance in less than 20 months (1 year - 8 months) of us. Micheline essentially replaced their discontinued Premier line with a less durable product and reduced the warranty distance so they do not have to cover warranty

We appreciate your loyalty to Michelin and understand how frustrating it can be when tread life doesn’t meet expectations. While many factors such as driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance can impact tire longevity, we recognize your concern given the mileage and timeframe you described. If you would like to discuss warranty options, please visit an authorized tire dealer for a tire inspection and give us a call with the results while you are there. Our number is 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Incredible design

First 2,000 miles my fuel mileage dipped from 41mpg to 38mpg (hybrid) but once they wore in they have been the most sure footed and quiet tires I've ever driven. I commute 120miles per day and currently have 43,000 miles on them. Still silent and trouble free. Wet/rain and snow braking and handling and overall performance makes this tire by far the best car tire on the market.

Michelin Cross Climate 2 review

TWO THUMBS WAY UP!!! The Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires have exceeded my high expectations! The most notable, unexpected feature is a much smoother, controlled driving experience on my 2020 Acura MDX/AWD. I'm really impressed and pleased with my purchase. On a side note, the tire's really do enhance the look of the car (WOW!).

Lower MPG

I was averaging 40 to 41 miles per gallon in my RAV4 hybrid Limited with the OEM tires. I just installed a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. These handle better than the OEM and are more surefooted on mountain roads. I read other CrossClimate2 owners were getting lower mpg so I raised the inflation 4 psi over the recommended pressure to see if that would help. Even with the higher pressure I'm now consistently averaging 34.5 MPG. 15% lower. EV's and hybrid's get a triple hit from high rolling resistance tires like the CrossClimate 2. First when running on gas only, Second from faster battery drain while using battery power only and a third from a loss in regeneration to recharge the battery when coasting or braking.

jbassoc, you make some good points, also new tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires.  As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases.  Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve. In addition, there is also the Michelin Promise Plan that offers a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your new set of Michelin tires, just return to the selling retailer to exchange them for a new set of equal or lesser value.

Excellent All-Weather Tire - it's like driving a new/different Minivan

It's like driving an entirely new vehicle! I still can't believe how much better it drives. I'm no longer afraid to drive around in snow & rain. Purchased these for a 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan that only has 60k miles on it. I work from home. I live in the Illinois.

Great ride! Low Noise!

Second set I've purchased. First set still performs very well after three years and 50k miles on a Highlander. This set replaced Bridgestones which came new on the RX350. Those were noisy and did not ride well from day one. These CrossClimates are amazing and made the vehicle ride and sound sooo much better.

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.

Nice tire, horrible fuel mileage

Just bought these tires and did a 4,000 mile road trip form midwest to Oregon coast. Tires rode and handled well in through the mountains and cold damp roads. This big problem is that my fuel mileage dropped around 20%. I used to get 23-26mpg on the highway depending on the winds. With these tires, the highest I got was 21mpg with a tailwind. Average on the trip was 18-20mpg. I want to like these tires, but can't with a 20% fuel mileage hit.

RC, the Cross Climate2 is designed to perform in every climate with excellent wet and dry braking capabilities. There are other Michelin products that may provide better fuel efficiency. Remember, as part of the Michelin Promise Plan, your tires have a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. Simply return to the selling retailer to have the tires swapped out.
