"Meaty" and Mighty

I bought these for my 2012 Suzuki SX4. After about 3 months later, I just slapped a pair on my 2011 Subaru Legacy. These tires a "meaty" and, while I have lost some MPGs, they are my favorite tire I've had on either car. I've put them to the test several days and nights driving in snow and ice and they haven't let me down yet. I'll be trekking around the mountains of Colorado this summer and see how they do in all the heat.

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.

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.

Great wet weather handling

I bought these tires 4 mths ago. I live in south Florida and have had to drive thru wet roads with lots of traffic. They stop extremely well with no aquaplaning on my Toyota highlander. Noise is not overly loud. I have put 4,500 miles on the tires so far. I am very happy with the purchase.

Great Overall Performance!

This is my first set of CrossClimate 2s, and I have been very impressed with performance - dry and wet traction, and have proven to be very quiet. I have about 2,500 miles on the tires so far, so we'll see how the wear, but I anticipate that they'll be just fine.

One of the best tires I've had on multiple vehicles!

An excellent all-season or winter changeup tire for almost any application where rain, ice, and moderate snow are factors (a legitimate 'snowflake', 3PMSF) while maintaining confidence at high speeds, and enhancing certain performance characteristics such as cornering and braking. I just ordered the CrossClimate2 to replace a pair of CrossClimate+ on my [FWD] Mazda, not needing to consider another tire, as I recently chose a set of CrossClimate2 on my [AWD] Lexus IS for the new winter set and I could not be happier with them. You do need to be attentive and work them in properly during the break-in period, as they can be a little loose during that break-in. If you do break them in properly you will have a better chance of being a satisfied Customer, this is true with just about ANY tire. I suspect some of the complaints around these either do not understand that break-in approach and/or received poor advice - or no advice at all, from their Installers. As far as gas mileage and road noise comments go I would disregard those as the performance and safety of these tires far exceed any inconvenience in those areas, I've had dozens of different tires on similar vehicles and these are neither loud nor inefficient gas-wise, long-term. I gained back my MPG and then some with these compared to multiple other brands. My only complaint of sorts would be the tire/tread life, where I have just over 20k on a pair of CrossClimate+ after approximately 2 years. That is very low mileage-wise, however,, they have been great through everything nature has thrown at them and even though they have 3-4/32nd left out of the 9/32nds when new, I'm replacing them early for safety concerns instead of trying to squeeze another season or three out of them, which I probably could, but better safe than sorry. My family drives these cars daily and I'm more comfortable with them having more tread. I am expecting more life out of the CrossClimate2 with 10/32nds new... I will likely post a separate performance-centric review for the CrossClimate2 experience on the Lexus, as I only have a few hundred miles on that vehicle, but so far the results exceed expectations, providing a very stable and consistent ride, better than any of the other tires I've ever had on that Lexus. If anything the tires amplify the driving experience on my vehicles and sometimes that means revealing suspension issues and other inconsistencies in their feedback, the type of precise feedback that less dynamic and responsive tires do not provide. This is another likely limitation of understanding on the part of some CrossClimate Owners.

Great tire!

I recently purchased these tires for my Lexus GS350 F-Sport. I love the sporty look and they ride amazing! Nice and quiet, with great cornering grip! In the snow and ice they have been very stable. I’m so happy I went with these tires and will again in the future!

Expectations exceeded on Cross Climate 2

I purchased my Cross Climate 2 tires less than a month ago and already have better than 5000 miles on the tires. I can best sum them up by saying “Wow” these are great tires! Cosmetically they look like an all season SUV tire but I’ve put them on a VW Golf and have to say they have transformed my car. Smooth, quiet, and simply phenomenal grip with no reduction in mileage from my old tires. To say my expectation was exceeded is almost an understatement.

Snow Beasts

Bought new for my Subaru Outback after extensive research. Met my expectations and more when driving in snow on Donner Summit in Tahoe in blizzard. Highway shut down while cars were stuck, spinning out, not equipped, I drove with confidence and safely made it to my destination. Great tire!
