Really good traction and quiet on the road

Just completed a 3,500 mile round trip on these tires. Had every type of weather with the exception of snow and they did great. Even when my GPS sent me down a road i had no business being on and had very large amounts of mud. Rain was very heavy the entire trip and never once did they lose traction and breaking was very good on wet roads. I definitely recommend these tires.

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!

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.

Don’t Buy These Tires!

Tires are great when they are new, now I have had them for 2 years I will never buy Michelin tires again. Tire were great the first and part of the second year. Now they howl and extremely noisy, worse than aggressive pickup tires. Also I had the tires rotated every 5,000 miles. DO NOT BUY THE CROSSCLIMATE TIRES!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the increased noise you’ve experienced over time. Tire noise is often associated with irregular tread wear. This type of wear may be influenced by factors such as rotation intervals, vehicle condition, wheel alignment or tire and wheel balance. We recommend visiting an authorized tire dealer so the tires and vehicle can be properly inspected and give us a call with the results. Our number is 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Not necessarily noisy!

I've seen and heard a lot of comments about these tires being noisy. I've had a set on my 2013 Dodge Journey SXT (front wheel drive) for 4 years. They were fine at first, no noticeable noise. When I went for my first rotation, the service writer asked how I liked them. I said they were fine and he mentioned that some folks complain of the noise. (side story-they stripped my wheel locks with their impact wrench. Had to go to Dodge dealer, who ended up having to blast them off with a jackhammer!) After all that and the rotation...dang! Noisy!!! Had I not noticed until the guy mentioned it??? I wasn't sure. After a few months of noise, it occurred to me that the ordeal with the wheel locks may have blown my alignment. So I had one done, and like magic, the noise was gone. I've driven out the rest of the tread miles on that set, smooth and quiet. I'm about to go get a new set next weekend. Oh and by the way, they're very impressive in heavy rain. Living in the south, never had a chance to try them on snow. To all the naysayers, I say "make sure your alignment is good before posting negative reviews!"

I just purchased these tires while on vacation because my old tire could not be repaired. This is an amazing tire. Great in the snow, fantastic handling, and no more noise than my pirelli scorpions. You would expect some noise with the aggressive tread pattern but that is not the case. What noise there is seems to be quieter and a lower frequency. Very happy!

Vibrates at high speed

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….
