I JUST EXCHANGED MY DEFENDER 2 TIRES AFTER 5 WEEKS FOR CROSSCLIMATE 2 TIRES BECAUSE THE DEFENDER 2 TIRES WERE TOO LIGHT FOR MY 2005 LINCOLN TOWN CAR AND WERE TRANSMITTING ROAD VIBRATIONS THROUGH MY STEERING WHEEL. THE CROSSCLIMATE 2 TIRES ARE HEAVIER AND PROVIDE A LIKE FACTORY-NEW, VERY SMOOTH RIDE!

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!).

Sadly, this Cross Climat 2 tire recommended for Honda Accord is a downgrade from the OEM tire and recommendation as this only has a "B" traction rating, but the OEM tire was rated "A". OEM tire is Michelin Primacy MXM4. I don't appreciate having a recommendation that lowers my car's safety rating in not allowing my car to top as fast or hold the road as well as expected when purchased. Did not purchase recommended tire for reason that I care for my family's safety.

Just got those tires a week ago from Subaru dealership. I drive a Subaru ascent touring. The positive: quiet ride and good grip. The negative: there is an absolutely annoying vibration that occurs at greater than 72 miles. Took it back to the Subaru dealership for rebalancing ( one week tires) . I was told those tires are expected to do that and this is why they don’t have it in stock ( they had to get them them from their regional warehouse). I have at least 3 trips of 2 hours plus a month on the Kansas turnpike (75 mph speed limit) and i am REALLY not looking forward for the next 3 years….

I have used these tires for years. Tire wear is slow, if you maintain proper air pressure. Traction is great in the snow, rain, cornering at speed and when riding on lined pavement (the tire design eliminates vehicle wobbling because of the cross design). I have the tires on our BMW, Mercedes and VW.

It's relatively quiet, smooth on dry pavement, safe on wet roads, and good in wintry roads that are plowed. So-so on ice, as it slides in the direction of the crown of the road when coming to a stop on an icy intersection, but getting moving again, no issues. But... deep wet snow, it's too easy to break traction, since the long tread blocks, while it's good for grip when it's not snowing, makes it difficult for it to cut through the denser wet snow. Yes, my car was initially on Eco drive mode, but then had to switch to a off-road mode to get going again.

Had these installed on our 2014 VW Passat TDI and got to test them on the highway in a torrential downpour for many miles. VERY impressed. No hydroplaning whatsoever and they felt very surefooted. Was concerned that the tread pattern might be a little noisy in the cabin of the car but not the case at all. At this point, I would buy Michelin Crossclimate 2s again. Will see how they stand up durability wise as the miles/kms increase.

I bought 4 CrossClimate2 tires for my wife's PT Cruiser, and liked them so much, I put a set of 4 on my Town & Country. The first thing I noticed was, they are quiet! The handling is very responsive with a good road feel, and stopping distance is very good. I'm anxious to see how they perform in Pennsylvania snows.

These tires continue exceed my expectations at 10k on my 2018 Lexus RX 350. They are the best ever in heavy rain for steering control. Have not tried them in snow. I had a flat on the rear and had no indicators till a passing motorist motioned me over. The tire tread design might be an acquired taste for some,but are worth the extra cost for the quiet ride ,safety and dependibility. I'll put them on my wife's Avalon.

Purchased 4 CrossClimate tires two weeks ago to replace Perellis on my 2025 Volvo sedan. Had an opportunity to drive these in all conditions and I must say, what an awesome tire in the snow and wet pavement. However, on dry pavement, expressway driving 70-80 MPH, getting a vibration. Not an obnoxious vibration, but definitely noticeable. Also, the tires make the car feel loose, wanting to move side to side on a dry expressway. Lastly, my fuel economy isn't nearly as good as before. Back to the dealer in a few days to check the balance on these tires.
