I bought these because of the Consumer Reports ratings and I am very disappointed. The road noise regardless of speeds is unbearable. The road noise is comparable to that of driving with mud tires, Which if I were driving with mud tires I would expect the noise but not on car road tires.

I bought these tires five weeks ago. I asked my della person , I need tires for rain and snow.we have not had snow yet which is a big deal here in upstate Ny. No,not Albany but real upstate NY. We are 12 miles from the Canadian border. Both my husband and I can’t believe how they hold the road.Every time we are in the car we comment on how much we appreciate our smart decision.

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.

AMAZING. I put these on my 2017 Vw Golf (currently living in San Diego, CA) but moving to northern Maine in a month. After reading the reviews I decided on these tires and immediately noticed a huge difference. They are SO QUIET and they handle so well. You can tell they have quick response with starting/stopping and amazing grip. Usually with cruise control on going approx. 65-70mph I get about 39-41mpg and with these new tires I now get 37-39mpg so not much of a difference. They are aggressive tires so no you aren't going to get perfect MPG however some other reviewers are being dramatic. Overall these tires are fantastic and worth every penny. Don't hesitate to buy these.

I go through a set a tires once every 12-16 months and these are by far the best for winter driving. I have had every high end tire from basically the top three or four manufacturers and these win hands down. I live in West Michigan and we get dumped on with wet, heavy lake effect snow, rain and ice. We just had about ten inches over night and I spent the morning on plowed and unplowed roads, heavily salted slushy roads, steep hills and icy bridges. Ice is a moot point for any tire but these handled exceptionally well through any of the adverse conditions the weather and road conditions had to offer from start to stop period. I cannot understand how someone would give these a bad review for winter driving saying they are spinning in slush they obviously do not have much experience driving. I drive a front wheel drive four door sedan. Again, if you have doubts about these tires do not you will be very happy with your purchase.

The jury is still out on this tire. Fantastic job in the snow and winter! However, in the summer, it is a hard riding tire. I feel every bump in the road. I'll go through the summer months with it but next year I'll probably find another to put on my car. My car is a 2020 Lexus RX350

Bought the tires about 2 months ago. Hit all weather conditions since then. Tires are noisy... to the point I needed to regularly check my RPMs. Tires handle well on dry and very well on wet surfaces. They handle moderately well in snow. I found myself sliding a bit in slushy roads.

Excellent traction and stopping power better than any others tires and I only buy Michelin tires. At first I wasn’t happy with the design because they are directional tires which means they can only be rotated front to back and back to front. The original tires only lasted less than 32,000 miles. I admit I could go further but I don’t take chances on the last 3/32” of tread left. I highly suggest these tires.

I just got these tires installed and they don’t ride they glide over thr road with very good steering input and soft smooth ride. They are less noisy than the Michelin defenders I had before. Will know more after a few thousand miles but my initial impression were wow. What a smooth ride. Michelin has consistently made good tires and have never disappointed me or left me stranded.

I got a set last year. I had Bridgestone Mud&Snows on my Outback Touring. Absolute garbage in snow. An AWD that continuously got stuck. Terrible hydroplaning in heavy rain. I researched and found raves about the Cross Climate. Then I had to search like crazy. Everyone was "sold out." Finally found a set, had them delivered and a local shop installed them. The result? Amazingly good handling. No hydroplaning even going through standing water. As far as getting stuck in moderate snow? These tires turned my Subaru into a snowmobile! Going forward all our AWD vehicles will be wearing these at replacement time. Thanks for such an exceptional tire. Jake
