Noisiest Tires I've Ever Owned

I have been a loyal Michelin customer for forty years and this is the first time I have ever been disappointed. I bought these for my wife's Subaru Crosstrek when the original set needed replacement and I have never heard the end of it. They're okay around town but when you get up to highway speeds you can't hear yourself think. Since Michelins last a long time, I'll probably have to suffer with these for 5-6 years!

Great Tire

I live on Vancouver Island were we only saw about 4 dumps of wet snow this year but heavy rains monthly. I was very impressed with the handling in both. The car has never hydro planed and the traction is superb in the snow. One morning I drove down a very steep hill that had not been sanded and covered in ice and snow to a friends place on the ocean. I then had to return up his steep driveway covered in a foot of snow, stop and await his gate to open. I then was able to start up without the tires loosing traction. I then drove up this same icy snow covered hill with no slippage. The tires are very quite and the only negative I have found is that my fuel economy is down slightly from my previous tires, a small price to pay considering my peace of mind I get from this purchase. I strongly recommend these tires.

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!

Excellent on snow

I live in Wisconsin and got tired of switching to winter tires In file and back in spring. I was looking for a tire that could be run year round, but had good performance on snow. The CrossClimate II definitely has been the answer. It delivers excellent performance on all road conditions, including ice and snow. Excellent traction and stopping performance on bad winter roads. I would highly recommend it!

I’ll buy ‘em as long as they make ’em.

Can’t say enough about these tires. They are as good in 3-season as the 3-seasons I ran on all my cars for the past 15 years, and as good in winter as the non-stud snows I’ve used on the Accord for 3 years. Fantastic in rain. Maybe 1-2 mpg cost, but a small price to pay for not having to own and swap 2 sets of rubber.

Excellent!

I just purchased these tires for my daughter's VW Tiguan in late December. So far these tires have lived up to the Michelin reputation - they are very impressive. I was a little hesitant about the aggressive tread pattern being noisy but that has not been a factor. It's very comforting to know that these tires are as advertised - high quality, safe and durable

Worth the money?

I bought these tires in September, 2020. The tread pattern had me intrigued but unsure. Winter control conventionally comes from a deep tread, soft rubber compound, and lots of sipes. The croosclimate2 does not look like that but it has proven itself so far. The tire resisted hydroplaning during the fall rains and does not show the usual resistance when going through puddles at highway speeds. So far, December, we have had very little snow, 3", but it handled it very well. The freezing rain and ice have been an issue this year and these tires have out-performed my Michelin defenders. I realize that the two are not in the same performance class but I have always had great service from the Defenders, T&H. Crossclimates are an excellent option if you are not going to purchase a dedicated winter tire. We sould be seeing -25°C at Christmas. I don't believe I will be disappointed. ☆ It should also be mentioned that the mountain snowflake symbol, according to my research, signifies a minimum improvement in traction of 10% over all-season tires. This may not sound like alot but it is a minimum of 10%, and the Crossclimate2 are noticeably better than all-seasons. Stay safe.

CrossClimate 2 - My New Normal Tire

I've had these on my 2014 Avalon Limited for about a year now. I got them after the surprise snowstorm we had because I saw they were fine in the summer, too. These are honestly the best tires I've ever had. I've always wanted a quieter tire, especially on highway sections where they've put down a layer of gravel over tar, making it very noisy to drive on. There's still some noise, of course, but this is the first tire that has ever made a noticeable difference. I've had no issues with how the car handles or anything. I had to dodge a surprise armadillo on the road recently and had to make a pretty aggressive maneuver to steer around him. My back end only lost traction for a fraction of a second and my steering remained solid. I also noticed a big difference in how well these tires cut through those water ruts that are on some highways. There's another instance where I've seen a big difference with these tires. There's far less resistance when you drive along those extended patches of road water. Unfortunately, we didn't get any snow or sleet this past winter, so there's nothing I can say right now about how well they do there. I waited through the whole winter to write this review, but I decided to go ahead and post it without the winter report.

Excellent tires!

The Michelin CrossClimate 2 are great all-season tires with a strong grip, smooth handling, and solid snow performance. They last long, rides quietly, and work well in most weather. They are a bit pricey, but absolutely worth it for safety and durability. Not a full winter tire, but great for year-round use.

4 - Cross Climate 2 Tires!! 235 x 50R 18

Bought these 6 months ago and they are excellent tires! Best riding tire so far on this vehicle and I replaced a set of Michelin Pilots that were on before! Better dry road handling and excellent wet road handling. Have not yet experienced winter as of yet!
