Great Compromise For All Seasons

We purchased a 2018 Mercedes Benz GLC 300 with run-flat tires. I was going to need snow tires plus a set of all season tires plus a set of wheels since I don't like run-flats and wanted to replace them. My service tech advised me to go for the CrossClimate2 and I am so glad I did. They handle very well in all conditions and saved me a pile of cash. They are a little noisier than all season tires but well worth that slight compromise. They were installed in Oct, 2020.

Excellent treadwear after 8 months

Since buying this tire almost 9 months ago, I have been very pleased with its overall performance in Winter and Summer driving. I have however noticed that there is a distinguishable noise level which I had not experienced before with other Michelin tires. It is obvious between 40 to 100 km/hr on the highway and the most noisy around 60 km/hr.

Worth the money.

Purchased these crossclimate 2's about six months ago. I have driven them in weather from +30 to -35 degrees Celsius. They have great traction in all weather, they have good road manners and they are quite. I will put these on our other vehicle soon.

That bite on snow is brilliant !!

I travelled yesterday in one of my most adventurous drives along the snowstorm direction from Chicago to Detroit. I94 was a combination of slosh pit and fresh accumulated snow at various stretches. Michigan roads were bad to start with. But this tire (and some driving skills, well tire mainly) kept me going at 65 to 70 MPH in that snow and gave me a lot of confidence to drive over. As some users have noted can't speak of its performance well into its life but these were installed 2 months ago and had very less mileage on them as of writing this review. If you hit a heap of snow as in when changing lanes though - because of the way the tire is grooved to let a lot of rain and snow flow outwards you will see a significant slowdown than other tires. It is good if you are in control and have no vehicle around but bad if you are in a traffic. Just the driver has to account for this change in performance style compared to other tires (Ex: Michelin Defender). Another major downside of this tire is on grooved roads - it becomes wobbly thanks to the non continuous contact patch type tread design but isnt dangerous in anyway. Same goes for snow. And despite that wobbliness, cornering in this is a hoot. If these downsides don't bother you, this tire is brilliant and the tread design aesthetic gets full points from me.

Excellent tires! Need more sizes though

I bought these for my 2011 Kia Sorento with 18" tires and they are amazing! Going through puddles and heavy water areas has less hydroplaning if any at all and the car doesn't slow down as much. The handling through turns in both wet and dry situations is awesome and I feel very secure in the handling of my vehicle as I always have if not more now. My only complaint is that they don't offer these in a 255/50-20 which is the size I need for my Ford Explorer XLT. I'm forced to buy a different tire. Hopefully they'll have a better range of sizes when i'm ready to replace those.

Give them some time

Recently replaced all the tires on my Camery with these. I’ve found you need to drive a couple of hundred miles to get the full benefit and feel of the tires. Strange I know but now I’m happy with the ride and comfort. Also, excellent traction on ramps in the rain. bravo for such a good design.

Too many negatives

Research, reviews and tests were mixed on the cross climate 2 but I bought them anyway. They are not the worst tires I have ever had but not anything like the Yokahama Parada Spec X I took off either. They are good in rain, haven’t driven in snow yet but they are rated high for snow but my issues with this tire is on dry tar. No changes to vehicle except new tires. The car wants to wonder now. It is difficult to keep it going straight at any speed. The car feels squishy on dry tar now. Doesn’t feel stable anymore. I don’t track my mileage but the car seems to drag now so I suspect the mileage decrease complaints are probably correct. The tires do make noise at times. Mainly on dry tar with the windows open and you are stepping on the gas. You must over inflate these tires to increase the stability. I run 40 psi in front for better steering but it helps only slightly and that may wear them out prematurely. The bottom line is that there are a lot of choices in tires no need to put up with the negatives of these tires.

Thank You Michelin

I highly recommend these. My wife and I put these on our Nissan Murano. We live in North Dakota. The roads here can get quite bad in the winter. My wife was in an accident(due to bad roads), she lost control and totalled my truck. I wanted her to feel comfortable again driving. These tires are the best tires I've ever seen in the winter. The control on bad roads is amazing. Highly recommend these if you deal with 6 months of winter. Only downfall is they're sighly louder at 80-85mph in the summer. Not bad enough for me to give them anything short of 5 stars.

Not quiet

Just got these yesterday. The ride quality is very good. Stopping, quick lane changes, curved entrance and exit ramps all good. However there is a rumbly sound. Its is evident at low speed like in a parking lot or neighborhood or at interstate speeds it gets more noticable as you go faster.

Great ride! Low Noise!

Second set I’ve purchased. First set still performs very well after three years and 50k miles on a Highlander. This set replaced Bridgestones which came new on the RX350. Those were noisy and did not ride well from day one. These CrossClimates are amazing and made the vehicle ride and sound sooo much better.
