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.

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 like my cross climates if I put the suggested air pressure in them at 35 or 36 I think they’re rough riding I have them on my 2024 Honda Ridgeline I put them on the day I bought the truck I run 32 PSI in mine to get the best ride and that sets off my TPI‘s so I just run with a TPI on all the time now which I really dislike

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 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!

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’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.

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!

This is my second set of Cross Climate 2's. Michelin offers great value and stands behind their brand. Some say they are too pricey, but i disagree. Michelin is the only tire company that offers 150 miles of FREE Towing, gasoline if you run out and 60000 mile tread wear guarantee. Good in USA and Canada.
