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.

Half-life update (30,000 miles). After a fresh rotation and balance, the tires feel new. The 5300lb Lexus handles great with even wear on all four. I recommend these tires to all who would listen. The confidence in bad weather is worth the price. The tires were purchased 12/19/22.

These are excellent tires for most cars and SUV's. This is our 3rd set of the CC2's. One set went 65,000 and the other 62,000 miles. I always change tires when at around 4/32 and probably could have increase that number, but living in a 4 season area, I'd prefer to have more tread due to winter climate. They handle really well in all environments, for the type of driving my family and I do. Snow, ice, rain, I am always impressed with their control on all surfaces. They have a nice firm, but comfortable ride on our Subaru's. My only issue would be road noise, but it's not excessive and not a deal breaker. Michelin's IMO are always worth the added cost.

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.

Was told during car inspection that I needed new tires. During my online search I compared multiple brands, I was intrigued with the tread pattern. I’m so happy with these tires as they have brought back my smooth ride positive grip on acceleration and braking. As I told my son the CrossClimate2 tires have brought back the Zoom Zoom experience in my Mazda.

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!!

Have had these installed in recent months with over 1,000+ miles on them so far. Had a set of 4 installed on our 2014 and 2018 Toyota RAV4 vehicles. Great ride and traction so far, thru rain, 3-4" of snow and light ice. Definitely like them so far. The ride doesn't seem any nosier and our MPG is in the same range as before. The only thing I notice so far is that with the tread spacing being larger, small rocks / salt, can get stuck in the tread. Not an issue for me since I live in the city. I bought them since Consumer Reports ranks them very high and they predict 90,000+ miles for tread life. Almost bought the Defenders until i read that review and the Tire Test on Tirerack.com. Happy so far!

This is my second set of these tires and I couldn’t be happier with them. They have excellent grip in the rain! While they are no specifically snow tires, they are not bad in the snow. They are long wearing and honestly, if my cars factory set camber was adjustable, they would not have worn in the inside. I still had 7/10 tread on all 4 tires after putting on 69,200 miles, except for the very insides. I had wheel alignments done when I rotated them and after discussing this with several mechanics, it’s my car and not the tires. My gas mileage increased by 4-5 mpg.

We put these tires on our 23 Hyundai Palisade and we have about 5,400 on them so far and are very happy with them! We did a road trip from ND to Oregon and on to Nevada. Drove on dry pavement, snow/compacted ice, thru a foot of fresh snow and rain of all levels thru flat terrain to mountain terrain. The tires handled all and were very quiet and provided a great ride. Very happy with the tires and recommend highly.

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.
