Thread life so short, it makes Kevin Hart look tall

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

JUST TOOK OFF A SET I PURCHASED 4 1/2 YRS AGO 84,555 MILES ON THEM AND 4/32 TREAD DEPTH LEFT. UNBLIEVABLE RIDE & TRACTION ALL THRU THE LIFE OF THE TIRES. I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS TIRE FOR ANY TYPE OF VEHICLE. THE RIDE WAS BETTER THAN THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. THANKS MICHELIN D. SCOTT RAMSEY

Highly recommend!

These tires are incredible. I was very hesitant to put these on my car due to it being sporty and was a little worried once they were installed. After some time driving, I’ve come to fall in love with these tires. My first experience in the snow was eye opening with how well they performed. HIGHLY recommend!

Publish the Rolling Resistance Data Michelin

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.

Good investment

Crossclimate2 were just installed 3 days ago and so far, they ride soft not noisy and road hugging filling! P.S my daughter has a pair, and she is very satisfied! That is the reason why I got mine also eliminates the season changes! I believe that most insurance accepts them because of a snowflake symbol on the tire!

Third set of CrossClimate 2's

This is my third set of CrossClimate2 tires, so actions speak louder than words. I have had excellent service in every area from them. They are not listed as EV ready, but I have found tha there is very little cost in range and much improved handling in my Tesla Model 3. Admittedly they are slightly noisier than the OEM tires, but the car is itself so quiet that it is not noticeable. Improved traction, performance and comfort more than make up for any slight increase in road noise. They will also be my next set of tires, unless something wonderfuilly better comes along by that time. And that will be undoubtedly many miles in the future.

Great Product

Just had them installed, wow what a difference from previous tires. Very smooth, quiet and definitely a handle ing improvement as well. Can’t wait to drive them in snow or rain but expect the same. Only issue is trying to get them registered for the Michelin Promise Plan (like my other Michelin purchase a couple years ago) as dealer did not do it?

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

Worth the money

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.

Not for Wet Snow

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.
