Research, reviews and tests were mixed on the cross climate 2 but I bought them anyway. They are not the worst tires I have ever had but not anything like the Yokahama Parada Spec X I took off either. They are good in rain, haven’t driven in snow yet but they are rated high for snow but my issues with this tire is on dry tar. No changes to vehicle except new tires. The car wants to wonder now. It is difficult to keep it going straight at any speed. The car feels squishy on dry tar now. Doesn’t feel stable anymore. I don’t track my mileage but the car seems to drag now so I suspect the mileage decrease complaints are probably correct. The tires do make noise at times. Mainly on dry tar with the windows open and you are stepping on the gas. You must over inflate these tires to increase the stability. I run 40 psi in front for better steering but it helps only slightly and that may wear them out prematurely. The bottom line is that there are a lot of choices in tires no need to put up with the negatives of these tires.

I had these tires picked out since I saw an indepth breakdown and review by Engineering Explained on YouTube maybe a year before I bought them. I had them installed right before it really started to snow and i couldn't be more satisfied. Few things have the return on investment that this set of tires provides. They shed water impressively well and I could barely slide in the snow if I tried, and I have tried... when and where it wasn't too risky to try, that is. Top notch.

I purchased these tires in October. I live in Colorado and have an AWD SUV and we have had a snow start to the year. I cannot believe how great they are on snowpacked roads. They have been fantastic and worth every penny. Even general snow/rain mixes or flash flooding, these tires give me an extreme amount of confidence and safety to navigate the streets.

I've about 3000 miles on these tires on our Lexus ES 350 and have been disappointed with the ride and quietness. The tires feel hard on bumpy roads and make a moderate amount of noise on all roads. The traction seems good in all conditions. My son-in-law got the same tires on their Honda Odyssey and states his ride is soft and they are quiet compared to the snow tires he had on it.

Great in traction in rain. Was constantly hydroplaning in previous performance tires. Now I Cruze right through everything. Great snow performance as well and I would even say have better traction than the snow tires I had on before. Also, reduced a lot of the road noise I had with performance tires. Traction in dry conditions is also great as well.

I travelled yesterday in one of my most adventurous drives along the snowstorm direction from Chicago to Detroit. I94 was a combination of slosh pit and fresh accumulated snow at various stretches. Michigan roads were bad to start with. But this tire (and some driving skills, well tire mainly) kept me going at 65 to 70 MPH in that snow and gave me a lot of confidence to drive over. As some users have noted can't speak of its performance well into its life but these were installed 2 months ago and had very less mileage on them as of writing this review. If you hit a heap of snow as in when changing lanes though - because of the way the tire is grooved to let a lot of rain and snow flow outwards you will see a significant slowdown than other tires. It is good if you are in control and have no vehicle around but bad if you are in a traffic. Just the driver has to account for this change in performance style compared to other tires (Ex: Michelin Defender). Another major downside of this tire is on grooved roads - it becomes wobbly thanks to the non continuous contact patch type tread design but isnt dangerous in anyway. Same goes for snow. And despite that wobbliness, cornering in this is a hoot. If these downsides don't bother you, this tire is brilliant and the tread design aesthetic gets full points from me.

Bought these to go on a Toyota Corolla hatchback, then it snowed like crazy during Last part of December 2021. The ultimate test on how well they work, we are not disappointed. Even during the worst snow, and driving to conditions, these tires saved the day!

The handling on my 2016 Civic improved, the ride is quiet, and driving in a downpour was without any drama. Stopping is seamless, road grip is outstanding. The car turns flatter, poor street conditions are smoothed out (quite a feat for Chicago!) and I'm happy with the purchase.

I bought these tires 7 years ago for the first time. I have since put them on every vehicle I own as well as tell everyone I know to get them. The are smooth riding, long lasting, all around amazing tire. I will continue to put them on every vehicle I drive. Sometimes people have bad experiences but I can tell you more than likely it’s not the tires fault. I’ve read through some reviews and seems like installer was the problem or people hit something and blame the tire. Driven 106,000 miles

I drive a 2013 Elantra Limited. I uses this car to commute to work 5 days a week. (120 miles round trip) I was buying Michelin Premier A/S. A great all season tire that gave the car a great ride and averaged 60k per set. I wanted a tire that was better in crappy weather and read about the CrossClimate 2's. The Good - WOW, they really are AMAZING in bad weather. Even when going thru large puddles, the Premier's gave me that hydroplaning feeling. The CrossClimate 2's I have full control! The tires are just about 9 months old and already have 20k on them. The Bad - For the first 10k the tires were loud and almost sounded like they were rubbing up against the car especially when cornering. Fuel mileage has suffered, I was averaging 36-38 miles, now 34-35. If you live in an area that gets snow, (bad weather) these are excellent tires, I would highly recommend them. If you live in more a sunshine state, I think your just going to look at that gas economy drop.
