After seeing the recommendations of many fellow Subaru Outback owners who use the CrossClimate 2 tires, I did my own research and decided to follow their lead. I could not be happier with these tires. After installation in the late autumn, we experienced two major snowfalls that put them to the test. The traction in slippery highway and side street conditions has been reassuring. The car, already good in such weather, is even better with the Michelins. Braking is assured. The ride is comfortable and quiet. It's still early days, but I am confident I made the right decision to buy the CrossClimate 2.

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!

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.

This is the second set of Cross Climate 2’s that I have purchased. The first set gave us 63,000 plus miles of hassle free driving. That’s why I bought them again when it came time to replace the first set. Excellent in the snow and rain which happens a lot in Maine.

Michelin has always been my go to tires, but I am getting a bit frustrated with its thread life. Put on Premier LTX before the Cross Climate 2. While the Premier LTX lasted only lasted 36,718 miles instead of the promised 60,000 miles in nearly three years of use, the Cross Climate 2 only saw 30,000 miles before the dealer refused to service them. After switching to the more expensive Cross Climate 2 with deeper threads, I thought I would get longer life but alas, here we are after only 30,000 miles of use and threads are already below 2/32" according to the dealer. While the tires are good otherwise, thread life of 30000 for tires with a promise of 60000 miles is simply not acceptable. Basically crapping out at half the warranty distance in less than 20 months (1 year - 8 months) of us. Micheline essentially replaced their discontinued Premier line with a less durable product and reduced the warranty distance so they do not have to cover warranty

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.

I recently switched to the Michelin CrossClimate 2, and I’m very impressed with the performance. These tires handle exceptionally well in both dry and wet conditions, and they’re surprisingly quiet and smooth on the highway. I’ve also driven through light snow, and the grip and stability were excellent — perfect for Canadian weather that changes quickly. The tread design gives great confidence on corners and braking, and I noticed better fuel efficiency compared to my previous set. It’s a perfect all-season tire for anyone who wants year-round safety without constantly swapping between winter and summer tires. Definitely worth the investment!

Excellent traction on wet roads. Also excellent on snow covered roads. I have these tires on a Kia Carnival and am really impressed. The tread design looks like they would be noisy but they are very quiet. Would buy these again when it’s time for new tires.

I put these on my front wheel drive Toyota Sienna and my daughter’s AWD Nissan Murano and they traction in h snow and even sleet has been great! I just had the Toyota out in about 8 inches of snow and it walked right out of my driveway and up the hill. Highly recommend!

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.
