I drove about 40k on these in North Carolina on an Acura MDX. Acura found all 4 tires had separated at the bead, requiring all all-new set of tires. What did I replace them with? The same tire--because despite the defect, they're the best tires I've ever run on this car. Wet/snow/ice/dry traction is unbeatable. They have a premium look to them, too. Michelin stood by their product and made it clear that they accepted responsibility for the defect--which I think was just a fluke. I'm beyond pleased with these 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.

This is my second set of these. I have a Toyota plug in hybrid Rav 4. I was concerned about the tread life since the plug in version is 800 lbs heavier than a regular Rav 4. I got 60,000 miles on them and it’s now later in January here in Wisconsin even with end of service tread left they still worked pretty good in the snow. Great in the wet and really good in the snow

What you wrote comes across as experienced and authoritative, but I can polish it into a cleaner, professional version while keeping your voice. Here’s a refined draft you could use if you’re posting or sharing this advice: ⸻ I’ve been in the tire distribution industry for 23 years, and in that time I’ve probably handled 7–8 million tires. Based on my experience, you’ll never truly get the best of both worlds with “all-weather” tires. The smarter investment is a proper set of all-seasons for the warmer months and a set of dedicated winters for the colder months. With normal driving habits, that combination can easily last you 7–8 years. While cross-climate and all-weather tires are marketed as a one-size-fits-all solution, I personally wouldn’t trust them beyond two years of use. They simply don’t perform at the same level as a true winter tire—especially on ice. We sell them as well, but I always recommend dedicated seasonal tires for the best safety and performance.

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.

The best tires for my Subaru Ascent. I am on my second set of the cross tires. I got 94000 on my first set and they still had some life left. I’m on my second set now with 25000 miles and they still look new and perform fantastic. The sure foot tracking both on rain and snow is amazing! Worth the price!

Bought these for my 2021 Toyota Rav 4 SXE Hybrid. Haven't driven in much snow yet (one time in the mtns.) but love the grippy-ness of the tires so far on wet/snowy roads in Colorado. These tires are great and I hope they last several years as they are not cheap tires. I'm all about having great tires on my cars for safety & control. There is a little bit more road noise but not that bad. I usually am playing my spotify music in my car so not a big deal. I would highly recommend these CrossClimate tires.

The best tires ever. I've discovered them in 2022 when I purchased my first set of 4 for my 2013 Camry. I rolled them up for over 110,000km whiting 3 years. Still in good shape. I had to change them with a new set of 4 due to the winter conditions in Canada. My car is a totally different car in terms of comfort, handling, performance and traction no matter the weather since the upgrade.

The tires have literal decimated the electric range of my Chrysler Pacifica PHEV. I wish that we, in North America, could buy the European Cross Climate 2 tire in the H speed rating. This tire has the best rating for rolling resistance in Europe. Sadly Michelin has decided for us that rolling resistance is not important and that we shouldn't be able to buy those tires here. I doesn't hurt that tire manufacturers are NOT required to divulge rolling resistance performance in the US, as they are in Europe.

I am very well pleased with my Michelin Tires-Cross Climate. The driving factor behind my Cross Climate purchase was safety. The fact that I bought Michelin was a given. Michelin has been my go to for all of our vehicles for years. Michelin brand has represented quality and safety while providing many miles of dependable service. The ride is also smooth and comfortable. Thank you Michelin!!
