Great so far in 4" of snow.

I've had these tires and when hog two snow storms so far. One we had about 4" and roads were not great to drive on. Snow plows where just trying to keep up on the main roads, on secondary roads where I was it deep. With. my vehicle in locked axle mode with both front and rear locked, AWD, I had no p ruble driving over the snow covered roads. I expereincd a minor slip, but was able to recover quickly. Driving in this weather you need to drive slower, but thre tires kept up and kept me going.

Impressed!

What are difference tires make! I bought these for my Scion XD, and I notice a difference is most aspects of my driving. I also bought wheels that were slightly wider. The grip is so different. My car is more steady, and doesn't shift at the slightest twist of the steering wheel. I have better traction in cornering, even at low speeds. The ride is smooth and quiet! In the rain, I've had no issues and dont feel.like i have to try to avoid standing water in ruts. I have better traction taking off. These tires make a difference across all aspects of driving and so far in different conditions too! I have more confidence in my car and handling ability! I didn't know new tires would be this impactful!

Excellent traction and stopping.

Excellent traction and stopping power better than any others tires and I only buy Michelin tires. At first I wasn't happy with the design because they are directional tires which means they can only be rotated front to back and back to front. The original tires only lasted less than 32,000 miles. I admit I could go further but I don't take chances on the last 3/32” of tread left. I highly suggest these tires.

Ydoc, thanks so much for the feedback. The CrossClimate2 does have a limited mileage warranty. We'd suggest returning to the selling retailer to initiate a claim. Have the retailer contact us with any questions.

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.

Hurts gas mileage

I bought a set of four of these tires for my 2017 VW Golf. The previous tires were OEM provided Continental ProTrack TX with about 40,000 miles on them. The old tread was getting low but still acceptable for Mass inspections. They also seemed to have developed a flat spot which was noticeable at low and high speeds. The Cross Climate 2 got very good review but in hindsight I don't recall seeing anything about highway mileage. On a trip I regularly make of about 70 miles with 60 highway, I would average 40-42 mpg. Now with these new Cross Climate 2 tires I only get 35-38 mpg. So after paying a top of the line tire I am going to continue to pay more every fill up through loss in gas mileage.

Too many negatives

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.

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.

Great ride with these tires

I purchased these ties on reviews. Some reviews stated that their Auto lost gas mileage. We own a 2020 Cadillac XT-5, V-6 310 HP, AWD. Before on the original tires we where getting 19.7 to 20.3 MPH. Highway mileage was the most 24.5. With these new CrossClimate2, the gas mileage increased to almost 23 MPG in the city and not quite 27 Highway. Only 1 time we received 34 MPG when we used the cruse control. The tire are quite, smooth riding and you do not hear any noise and good stopping in rain. Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Pure value for the best tires on the market

This is my second set of Cross Climate 2's. Michelin offers great value and stands behind their brand. Some say they are too pricey, but i disagree. Michelin is the only tire company that offers 150 miles of FREE Towing, gasoline if you run out and 60000 mile tread wear guarantee. Good in USA and Canada.

Best all season tires made!

I bought these last month for my 2022 Hyundai Kona. So far these have been the best tires I have ever owned. The ride is amazing. We recently had 3 in of snow here and these tires were excellent never lost grip maintained perfect stability felt confident on the road. Honestly the best all season tires you can buy.
