I bought the Cross Climate 2's based on The Tire Rack and Subaru Owners Forums opinions. Most owners of The Subaru Outback replaced their OEM tires with The Cross Climate 2's. I am disappointed that Michelin refuses to offer the updated Cross Climate 3's in the US and we are stuck with the "old" design Cross Climate 2's. I have not driven a great deal over the last three months , perhaps a total of one thousand miles. In my mind it is difficult to give a proper evaluation. My expectations of the tire are better long term durability, adhesion, braking, traction and road noise. So far I have not experienced anything to demonstrate the Cross Climate 2 exceeds the performance of The Vredestein Quatrac 5 that were mounted on my car previously. We shall see.

I put these tires on my 2023 Honda Pilot, and overall they’ve been impressive. Their all‑weather capability is excellent, and they’ve been especially strong in snow—confident traction, stable handling, and exactly the kind of winter performance I was hoping for. Road noise is also pleasantly low, even at highway speeds, which makes daily driving more comfortable. The one drawback has been fuel economy. I’m seeing about a 5‑MPG drop compared to my previous tires, which is a pretty significant difference. I’m hoping mileage improves once the weather warms up, but for now it’s definitely the trade‑off. Despite the hit to fuel efficiency, I’m happy with how these tires perform overall. If winter traction and quiet ride quality are your priorities, they deliver—just be prepared for a good noticeable dip in mileage.

We love our new Michelin cross climate 2 tires. We have had these almost 4 months now and have been through many weather tests. Great grip on wet roads and excellent grip in the snow. Braking is very good on both. They run quieter and absorb road abnormalities around the city and on the highway better than the Pirelli tires we had before these. Very smooth. Well worth the slightly higher price than other premium tires in our opinion. Very happy with our purchase.

I haven't had them long but they are a huge upgrade from my stock tires. It snowed recently in nyc and I had them put on. My car was getting stuck constantly before these. They are too good, they give me more confidence with my car on ice and snow then I think the low profile is sometimes able to handle. It feel like I have a truck, my tires have not slipped once so far.

This is the second set of crossclimates I have had on two different vehicles. The first was a Hyundai Santa Fe and more recently a Honda Ridgeline. The improvement in the overall vehicle handling was remarkable in both cases coming from the the standard tires fitted by the manufacturers. The quietest tire I've driven on in many years. The wind around the doors which I couldn't hear before now annoys me on the Ridgeline. Its the middle of winter here in Michigan, these things are as good as snow tires, but last 5 time longer.

We have the cross climate tires. We have awful roads in our town. Are these tires supposed to ride smooth?

Just put these on my 2023 Altima these tires are very quit and the ride is even smoother. Diffently going to buy these for my 2005.

Fantastic tires. Low road noise. Great grip of the black top. Still looking brand new. Plenty of tread.

I have found no issues with these tires I have bought 2 sets for 2 different mini vans, great traction, long lasting I check tire pressure all the time, I will continue to buy Michelin, I have 3 different vehicle and all have Michelin.

what an intelligent design. better traction and all surfaces, far better braking on wet. snow rated and a mileage warrantee. this might just be the best all around tire of the nearly 18 sets I have bought over the years.
