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.

I’m using Michelin CrossClimate 2 in size 235/65 R17 on an Audi Q5 quattro (SUV). Overall, the tire performs very well in dry conditions and also handles regular rain without any issues. For everyday driving on wet or dry asphalt, the stability and comfort are good. However, the tire shows serious limitations as soon as there is wet snow or slush on the road, especially around +2°C. Braking performance becomes very weak, and the car tends to slide forward even at low speeds, around 15–30 km/h. In these conditions, the tire simply cannot provide sufficient grip, and stopping distances become dangerously long. Because of this, I was forced to purchase a new set of proper winter tires, as continuing to drive with the CrossClimate 2 in these conditions poses a real risk of an accident and serious danger. A similar issue appears when the road is only slightly damp after light rain during colder autumn/winter days — braking and stopping distances noticeably increase, even when driving slowly. Conclusion: Excellent tire for dry, wet, and mild winter conditions, but not reliable in slush, wet snow, or low temperatures. If you live in an area where wet snow is common, this tire may not be a safe choice during winter.

These tires are incredible. I was very hesitant to put these on my car due to it being sporty and was a little worried once they were installed. After some time driving, I’ve come to fall in love with these tires. My first experience in the snow was eye opening with how well they performed. HIGHLY recommend!

We’ve Love The Michelin Cross Climate 2 Tires! The ride, handling, and snow traction are superb. We have them on our RAV4 and Ridgeline vehicles. They are slightly noisy on bare pavement, but with the aggressive tread design and wear, that is to be expected. No more putting on/ removing snow tires/ all season tires. The All Weather Michelin’s are a game changer. Thank you for developing such great tires!

Great year-round tire. I live in the mountains of Northern California where we get tons of snow, often deep snow. I sold my winter tires as the CC2’s perform well enough on my SQ5 I now don’t need the annual change-over. Currently 45,000 miles on them and looking like at least another 15,000 left on them. More than three times what I was getting out of the Sport Pilots that came with the car. No noticeable difference in mpg or road noise. Very happy with these tires and recommend them.

The Michelin Cross Climate 2 are the best tires I've ever purchased! I got over 85,000 miles from my first set of tires and I just bought another set. I love these tires! They are quiet, provide a comfortable ride, they perform excellently, and have been great is various weather patterns, snow, sleet, rain or shine. Thank you!

Newly installed set of four CrossClimate2 on my Honda Accord. Replaced a set of Michelin Primacy tires. So far, I am happy with the purchase. When reading reviews, these tires were acclaimed for wet/dry/winter traction but there were some comments about higher tire noise. For my own experience, I cannot discern much worse tire noise than my former quiet/smooth Primacy tires. I'm still in the break-in period, but I can tell with the tread pattern and deeper channels I'll get much improved traction in wet and snowy/winter conditions. I was happy with the Primacy tires for most of the season, but their weak point was cold/winter driving. Looking forward to more confidence on the road as approach the colder weather in the midwest with a new set of these CrossClimate tires on the car.

My CC2s have 92,000 miles on them. Current wear pattern is perfect, 4/32 left. A smooth ride still. Road noise is relative to type of road but generally mostly quiet. only issue was a slight hydro plane during moderate rain fall which i experienced from date of purchase. Didn't go over 70mph during rain. 4/5 traction in snowfall. Type of car 2014 bmw wagon 328i xdrive. Michigan /Ohio resident.

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.

I purchased these to improve traction on our 2014 Honda Odyssey. In rain it had issue on acceleration with slippage and in snow was much worse. After these were put on the slippage was reduced by nearly 90%, in snow the improvement is good but not quite that level. I see no increase in road noise which is great. A bit too early to say anything about wear and durability.
