I purchased the cross climate 2s from my local tire discounters. The first year was fantastic great wet and dry / snow performance. From what I was told Michelin states that their tires do not lose performance over time. In my experience putting them on a 4 cylinder honda accord after 1 year and around 6,000 miles even after a tire rotation if I give my stock 4 cylinder more than 10% throttle I spin all over the place even in light rain and light snow. Im very upset and disappointed with the performance of this tire and have to drive very slowly wherever I go in any kind of weather condition except sunny and dry.

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.

We are very happy with the new tires. The tread pattern is great and gives up good traction in the vast amounts of snow we have been getting. They give a good feeling of security in driving this winter. They are just a bit noisy, but it could be because they are new.

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.

Just got those tires a week ago from Subaru dealership. I drive a Subaru ascent touring. The positive: quiet ride and good grip. The negative: there is an absolutely annoying vibration that occurs at greater than 72 miles. Took it back to the Subaru dealership for rebalancing ( one week tires) . I was told those tires are expected to do that and this is why they don't have it in stock ( they had to get them them from their regional warehouse). I have at least 3 trips of 2 hours plus a month on the Kansas turnpike (75 mph speed limit) and i am REALLY not looking forward for the next 3 years….

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.

This is a repeat purchase for me. They are very wonderful looking tires, too. People notice them and compliment how nice they look. (They ask how I like them, too. I LOVE THEM ! ) They wear evenly and I believe they will exceed the 60,0000 mile warranty, again. I especially enjoy how the Michelin Cross Climate 2 grips the road and handles heavy rainfall.

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.

This tire has exceeded my expectations. I've only purchased Michelin tires (except once) for my vehicles. As recently as a month before I bought these actually. I wish I would have decided on these for my other purchase. They are good but nothing like these. If you are looking for a true multi weather (not season) tire the CrossClimate2 is truly amazing. This winter was a great test bed for this review. We've had 8+ in snow falls, sleet, ice, rain, and nice weather so far and I can't say enough about how well this tire handles the elements. Really amazing in rain. I don't want to say that I speed but I will say that I'm not sure at what speed you could get these tires to hydroplane. I couldn't get them to. I don't hear any road noise at high speed and was impressed with the snow and ice capabilities too. These are great if you live in an area where you truly have all types of weather each year. When it's time to replace the factory Michelin's on my wife's car, this will be my choice. No more research needed. The price tag is well worth it. When you cost justify what you feel is expensive you have to keep in mind that you will rely on your tires for years. You should always want a high quality tire under you.

I purchased these tires approximately one month ago. Did a some local driving around town and found the handling to be good and the overall comfort and noise level to be acceptable. This past week I did a long distance trip from NY to MI and back that was uneventful with clear driving going, and light snow and rain on the return trip. I would say the tires performed as expected for the entire trip. No surprises, that enabled driver confidence.
