I had Michelin Defenders for my Honda Ridgeline '17 (bought in Oct 22) they too were smooth and as I spend most of my time on the highway, they lasted a while. Now got the new Cross Climate 2 and I was impressed !! The tires are amazing, quiet, smooth and the truck handles a lot better. I would highly recommend them.

The Michelin CrossClimate 2 are great all-season tires with a strong grip, smooth handling, and solid snow performance. They last long, rides quietly, and work well in most weather. They are a bit pricey, but absolutely worth it for safety and durability. Not a full winter tire, but great for year-round use.

These tires continue exceed my expectations at 10k on my 2018 Lexus RX 350. They are the best ever in heavy rain for steering control. Have not tried them in snow. I had a flat on the rear and had no indicators till a passing motorist motioned me over. The tire tread design might be an acquired taste for some,but are worth the extra cost for the quiet ride ,safety and dependibility. I'll put them on my wife's Avalon.

Great tire, I bought the original Cross Climates, tires for my Honda CR V 215/70/16 got a nail in my sidewall will need a new tire guess want the Cross Climate 2 is not made in the size tire I have, now I am screwed, I want a tire that has the #MPSF ratting which not other Michelin tire has other then there snow tire which I am not going to put on a car with 3 other type of tires. Michelin you have let me down

I purchased the Cross Climate 2 tires a couple of months ago. I installed them almost as soon as I got them. The tread looks like it can be an aggressive pattern, but on the highway the car is as quiet as can be. Turning is responsive as well in dry conditions. Living around the Poconos, there are many twisty roads. I can't wait to see what these tires can do in the snow. That was a major reason for the purchase.

I bought a set of these tires just over a week ago for my 2018 Hoda Pilot. I could feel the difference as soon as I started driving. These are the best riding tires ever. The best mileage I have ever had on this vehicle is 26.1 mpg. I have driven over 1500 miles and now showing 27.0 mpg. About 1200 of these miles were on the interstate. I would highly recommend this tire.

I highly recommend these. My wife and I put these on our Nissan Murano. We live in North Dakota. The roads here can get quite bad in the winter. My wife was in an accident(due to bad roads), she lost control and totalled my truck. I wanted her to feel comfortable again driving. These tires are the best tires I've ever seen in the winter. The control on bad roads is amazing. Highly recommend these if you deal with 6 months of winter. Only downfall is they're sighly louder at 80-85mph in the summer. Not bad enough for me to give them anything short of 5 stars.

We had little winter here this year but was impressed with traction and aggressive tracks in what snow we did have. Very confident of tires. Taking them off for summer to finish of standard ties that came with vehicle, and noticed a huge difference. Looking forward to the return in the fall!

I am a faithful Michelin user for 30 plus years (driving 64 yrs) on light pickups, full size cars and mid size cars, utility van, have a Yukon XL 4 WD with 264,000 miles that has never had anything other than Michelin. I have never been disappointed with Michelin tires until now. Put a set of Cross Climate 2 on a 2017 Ford Escape at 51,638 miles and the car handles great, like an expensive sports car. However the tires are excessively noisy to the point I thought something was wrong with the car, the wheels or what ever. I paid three different tire shops to evaluate, one of which is my primary tire dealer and they all concluded nothing wrong with the car, it's the tires. It sounds like a pickup with a cheap set of worn out tires which I have owned before. The Cross Climate 2 will easily last 60,000 miles or more on this vehicle which means we must tolerate the noise another minimum 36,940 miles until time for a new set of tires. The tires perform very well as advertised with the exception of the noise. The noise is disappointing and embarrassing, especially when we have guest onboard. Photos upon request.

I have no complaints with these tires after 2 winters and over 15,000 miles of use. The road noise is as good or better than my previous tires. Fuel economy is the same as before. Excellent snow/ice/winter performance for all season tires. Very pleased overall, and I will be considering these in the future as my other vehicles need tires.
