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 good in snow, rain, even had good luck on ice. But after only a couple of months I've noticed they've started pulling all the time. I'm constantly having to make small steering adjustments I've never had to do before. After looking online, seems like it's a pretty common problem with these tires. Sorry I took the recommendation of the tire shop now…

At 105,000 miles, I needed new tires for my 2019 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum. I looked at a lot of tire recommendations and reviews. I was looking for something with high marks in snow and ice traction. I was also price-conscious, but wanted the best tire. These were the top-rated tires, according to Consumer Reports. What really convinced me to spend more money on these tires was that in the CR testing, these tires lasted 95,000 miles for excellent durability. Right after having them installed, my wife and I drove over to Madison for a Christmas music concert. As we drove there, snow started falling. I noticed a different sound from these tires that is distinct because of the unique pattern. They felt very comfortable. It was on the way home that they paid for themselves. By the time we left the concert, over 4" of snow had fallen. Our drive home was mainly on 2-lane state highways. I reduced the speed for the environment, and these tires performed perfectly. There were a lot of cars in the ditch on our drive home. By the time we got to the last few miles, the snow was 6-8" deep and unplowed on the county roads that were the last miles to our house. I look that they will be a very veratile tire when we get the the warmer weather and rains.

TWO THUMBS WAY UP!!! The Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires have exceeded my high expectations! The most notable, unexpected feature is a much smoother, controlled driving experience on my 2020 Acura MDX/AWD. I'm really impressed and pleased with my purchase. On a side note, the tire's really do enhance the look of the car (WOW!).

Purchased the Cross Climate 2 tires for our Volvo XC90 three months ago. I have been purchasing Michelin tires for over 40 years and always replace original tires with Michelins. Immediately noticed an improvement in ride quality in all aspects over the original tires. The reide was quieter, smoother and the vehicle tracked better. We took a 3,000 mile trip shortly after we put on the new tires and exxperienced about a half mile per gallon increase in mileage.. NOw that we have driven the car on both snow and ice I must say that in our opinion the best tires we have ever owned. The traction and stopping during winter driving conditions in the midwest is superb. I have recommended these tires to many friends and relatives.

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.

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.

I've been driving on these tires for 12,000 miles. These tires work extremely well in heavy rain with no hydroplaning at all. Barley can get these tires to break free under heavy acceleration. Tried them out in 6 inches of snow, they worked extremely well for an AS tire. Great acceleration and braking traction. Tracked very straight when at speed. In the dry, they feel like a Performance Summer tire. They are a little noisy in the first 3000 miles, now they sound great. I recommend these tires to all my friends and family. I have been using Bridgestone 980 AS, for 3 sets, and these are far better. Used on a 2019 Hyundai Elantra Sport FWD.

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!
