PNW Hilltop Dwellers

I got these tires last Dec 2022 for the winter and rain in Olympic Peninsula area… we live in a very steep hill 600ft straight up from the main road, and we had the worst winter in history with some Seattle frozen roads on my work days… it worked perfect! I am glad I never skid or slide on those days. Even had this on a winter storm when we had a family emergency drive to British Columbia and with my dual motor Tesla model 3, we never had a problem. I am glad this was recommended by an agent during my tire rotation in 2021, I looked it up and changed last 2022.

Great wet weather handling

I bought these tires 4 mths ago. I live in south Florida and have had to drive thru wet roads with lots of traffic. They stop extremely well with no aquaplaning on my Toyota highlander. Noise is not overly loud. I have put 4,500 miles on the tires so far. I am very happy with the purchase.

CrossClimate2 outstanding so far

Like some of you I read in Consumer Reports that the CrossClimate2 is a top-rated all-season tire, and I also watched videos like the one from Engineering Explained on youtube. I also read reviews here. Even after all that, I wondered what these tires would really be like. My previous tire was a Goodyear Eagle LS-2 that was the OEM tire for my 2018 Acura TLX. The Goodyears had 46k miles on them, but they still had plenty of tread left and were only three years old, but I wanted to replaced them because I wasn't happy with their performance in any season—dry, wet, or in snow. And so I was looking for a major performance and safety upgrade to justify the expense of early tire replacement. I'll give details below, but long story short the Michelin CrossClimate2 tires are outstanding so far. I've been driving since 1980, and I've driven most of the major tires brands over the years, and so far these are the best tires I've ever owned. Quietness: This is the one area where the Goodyear Eagle has a small edge, but the CrossClimate2 is still a quiet tire that's good for a luxury car. And actually the CrossClimate2 is much quieter around corners. The Goodyears in moderate cornering would squeal in protest, and make it seem like I was 1970s cop show or something trying to make a dramatic get away. The CC tires are no drama tires in comparison. Comfort: About equal. Both very comfortable. Interestingly the CrossClimate2 seems a bit better at handling speed bumps. MPG: About the same as the Goodyear Eagle. This was a surprise, because I was prepared to give up 2-3 mpg for a better tire, but the mpg seems to be about the same for me. Obviously ymmv. Lateral grip: Wow. Big difference. Where as mentioned the Goodyear Eagle tires were squealing for mercy at moderate speeds around corners, and seeming like they might even lose grip, the Michelin tires are great in comparison. No drama. Excellent road grip in corners. More fun to drive. Major upgrade. Safer. Took some twisting 2-lane country roads I'm quite familiar with, as well as a steeply banked cloverleaf onramp that's a favorite, and it's clear the Michelin tires are on a whole different level. It feels like you're riding on rails with the CrossClimate2. Stopping distance: Didn't try a panic stop, but going downhill on a familiar country road with no one behind me I did a rapid stop from a good speed up to a stop sign, and the CC tires seemed to stop significantly faster and with greater confidence. On center feel: This was a surprise, but perhaps because of the directional V pattern of the tread it seems like the on-center feel for the new tires is much better. I like the road feel. I feel more connected to the car and to the road with the Michelin tires. I've only owned these tires for a few days and about 300 miles so far, and the conditions have been dry, and so I'm not sure at some point I'll get to try out the two probably strongest areas for the CC tires—wet traction and snow traction. Right now I'm feeling confident the tires will live up to expectations. Overall, the CrossClimate2 tires seem like a great upgrade, and well worth the money if you are looking for a premium all-season tire with the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating.

Very secure tire.

I bought these a year and a half ago. They were purchased prior to winter driving, with the idea of swapping them out for snow tires if needed. They have performed well in winter conditions for the last two years without changing them out. We also have issues with water pooling on the highway. These handle the situation well, without a hint of hydroplaning. They feel more secure than more expensive tires.

Not quiet

Just got these yesterday. The ride quality is very good. Stopping, quick lane changes, curved entrance and exit ramps all good. However there is a rumbly sound. Its is evident at low speed like in a parking lot or neighborhood or at interstate speeds it gets more noticable as you go faster.

Will absolutely buy again

Bought these in 2021 after a lot of research and now 4 years later I can absolutely recommend them. I have 37,000 miles on them, 7/32nds tread remaining from the original 10/32nds (I believe), and these tires are the best car tires I have owned in my 51 years of driving. Amazing wet and dry traction, superb ride, and really quiet. We go to the north GA mountains a lot and the twisties even wet are no match for these tires. My wifes Lexus handles like a sports car and the ride comfort is great. I’ve seen a few reviews complaining of noise and sidewall splitting and unless they are abusing the tires and not keeping them properly inflated, they must be talking about other tires. I will replace these with another set without hesitation if they ever wear out! Seriously, the best car tire I have ever bought. Oh and I think they look cool as can be too!

Great for traction

Placed these on 2019 equinox and love them. Great stopping traction and great handling. Noise level is low when comparing it to an all terrain tire but low compared to a highway tire. Don’t really care about mpg so don’t notice but still close to same mileage per tank during fuel ups. Have put 15k miles on them and can’t even notice a change. Great traction on road dry or wet pavement and good off road use for gravel dirt and grass. Not a mud tire so never tried.

Awesome Handling and Performance

Had these installed on our 2014 VW Passat TDI and got to test them on the highway in a torrential downpour for many miles. VERY impressed. No hydroplaning whatsoever and they felt very surefooted. Was concerned that the tread pattern might be a little noisy in the cabin of the car but not the case at all. At this point, I would buy Michelin Crossclimate 2s again. Will see how they stand up durability wise as the miles/kms increase.

Great smooth ride with very good steering input.

I just got these tires installed and they don’t ride they glide over thr road with very good steering input and soft smooth ride. They are less noisy than the Michelin defenders I had before. Will know more after a few thousand miles but my initial impression were wow. What a smooth ride. Michelin has consistently made good tires and have never disappointed me or left me stranded.

very disappointed

I can’t count how many sets of Michelin tire I have purchased. Bought these for a Ford Transit Connect Titanium wagon. Spent numerous hours sound proofing it. Van is light and has basic suspension. Therefore asked for the best tire, irrespective of price, that would provide a smooth and quite ride, while providing good winter traction. The ride in now rough/stiff. Despite all the sound proofing, the road/tire noise is very pronounced, especially though the front struts. There is now a vibration that comes through the steering wheel, particularly at slower speeds, and to add insult to injury, the gas mileage is off a solid 10%. They do provide good winter traction, but so do the Michelin tires I put on my daughters car this summer, without all the downsides.
