Worth the money

This is as good of winter performance as any tire but can last longer and run all year round. Most winter tires have a special compound that will wear out before the tire's life leaving a standard tread tire for most of the life of the tire. These maintain performance through the tread so well worth the money. I will probably stop swapping my winter treads into the highway summer tire every season thanks to the CrossClimate.

Best Tire ever

Purchased first set on my other Lexus RX 350 a year ago and it was a very noticeable improvement - installed a second set on my other vehicle this month even before reaching the recommended minimum tread depth on the existing tires. We feel well protected and very pleased with the smooth ride and no road noise. Tire warranty of 60,000 miles also a plus. Best Michelin product I ever had and I'm nearly 80!

Great tires that work well in the snow

These tires have been great for my midsize SUV. They work great in all weather. They've done great in the snow. The only thing I would say that has not been good is the snow get stuck in the wheel well I think because of the way the tires traction is designed.

Lower MPG

I was averaging 40 to 41 miles per gallon in my RAV4 hybrid Limited with the OEM tires. I just installed a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. These handle better than the OEM and are more surefooted on mountain roads. I read other CrossClimate2 owners were getting lower mpg so I raised the inflation 4 psi over the recommended pressure to see if that would help. Even with the higher pressure I'm now consistently averaging 34.5 MPG. 15% lower. EV's and hybrid's get a triple hit from high rolling resistance tires like the CrossClimate 2. First when running on gas only, Second from faster battery drain while using battery power only and a third from a loss in regeneration to recharge the battery when coasting or braking.

jbassoc, you make some good points, also new tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires.  As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases.  Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve. In addition, there is also the Michelin Promise Plan that offers a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your new set of Michelin tires, just return to the selling retailer to exchange them for a new set of equal or lesser value.

Excellent Tires

We needed tires on our Acura RDX and picked The Cross climate 2. After 52k on them they were still barely worn 50 percent. They are incredible in the rain, slushy snow and deep snow. The only thing I can say negative is we got 2mpg with these tires. Our new RDX will get these again when it needs tires. Michelin needs to make this tread pattern for LT applications!

Not Enough time to evaluate

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.

CrossClimate 2 tires make rain and snow fun !!!

We have two Subarus ... a 2015 Forester and a 2019 Outback. I put CrossClimate 2 tires on the Forester a couple years ago and Indiana had mild winters with little snow so I was disappointed that I never really got to test my new tires in deep snow. They are fine in the rain and spring, summer, and fall. This fall I put CrossClimate 2 tires on my newer Outback and we were pleased from the start with the smooth, quiet ride. Recently Indiana was hit with 14 inches of snow and sun zero temperatures. Going out the 100 foot gravel rural lane to the road was a piece of cake. The next morning the lane had drifted in with more snow, up to two feet in places. The Outback with Subaru's all wheel drive and X mode and new CrossClimate 2 tires thought it was a tank or bulldozer 😂.

Better than the Original

When I bought my car in 2019 I swapped the manufacturer's tires for the CrossCimate and put well over 80,000 km on them which included several trips to Florida. They were great tires but wore down so I replaced them with the CrossClimate 2. These tires are a big improvement over the original. Better handling in snow especially when making turns. They're expensive but worth it.

Great all around tire

This is my second set of these. I have a Toyota plug in hybrid Rav 4. I was concerned about the tread life since the plug in version is 800 lbs heavier than a regular Rav 4. I got 60,000 miles on them and it’s now later in January here in Wisconsin even with end of service tread left they still worked pretty good in the snow. Great in the wet and really good in the snow

Third set of CrossClimate 2's

This is my third set of CrossClimate2 tires, so actions speak louder than words. I have had excellent service in every area from them. They are not listed as EV ready, but I have found tha there is very little cost in range and much improved handling in my Tesla Model 3. Admittedly they are slightly noisier than the OEM tires, but the car is itself so quiet that it is not noticeable. Improved traction, performance and comfort more than make up for any slight increase in road noise. They will also be my next set of tires, unless something wonderfuilly better comes along by that time. And that will be undoubtedly many miles in the future.
