Newly installed, ready for the winter season

Newly installed set of four CrossClimate2 on my Honda Accord. Replaced a set of Michelin Primacy tires. So far, I am happy with the purchase. When reading reviews, these tires were acclaimed for wet/dry/winter traction but there were some comments about higher tire noise. For my own experience, I cannot discern much worse tire noise than my former quiet/smooth Primacy tires. I'm still in the break-in period, but I can tell with the tread pattern and deeper channels I'll get much improved traction in wet and snowy/winter conditions. I was happy with the Primacy tires for most of the season, but their weak point was cold/winter driving. Looking forward to more confidence on the road as approach the colder weather in the midwest with a new set of these CrossClimate tires on the car.

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.

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?

Used to be better

this is my second pair of these tires. The first ones i loved sooo much. This pair, quite difficult. At first i thought they had a balancing issue, so i brought them back to be re-balanced. They still make my seats shake whike im driving. And the noise, they're quite noisy. I dont know what happened. Maybe they were in a rush on production day, but this pair made me hate these tires. As far as durability, i think thats the best part i cant complain about and the traction is good all over. But at the cost of wobbly seats and a very loud ride.

You can't go wrong with these.

I have used these tires for years. Tire wear is slow, if you maintain proper air pressure. Traction is great in the snow, rain, cornering at speed and when riding on lined pavement (the tire design eliminates vehicle wobbling because of the cross design). I have the tires on our BMW, Mercedes and VW.

Versatility is important to me!

I think that this is a great tire! I replaced my Michelin Defenders with the Cross Climate 2. The traction seems much better and I haven’t noticed a significant interior noise increase from them in comparison. At first, based on some reviews, I had some concerns. Also, no matter the tread left on older tires, I consider the age of a tire to be very important to me. Nearing six years, I will replace older tires. The comfort of these tires is perfectly fine. And, living in Minnesota, the versatility is important to me. A disabled veteran.

Great tires overall

I have these tires now for little over a year on my 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid Sport. Some reviews were saying the tires are a bit noisy, but honestly I did not notice that. All I notice is great grip on rainy drives and I also tested them on the snow here in WNC. The grip and braking also in the snow was excellent. Couldn't be happier and order a new set for my 2010 Subaru Impreza STi just today.

The best tires for my Subaru Ascent. I am on my second set of the cross tires. I got 94000 on my first set and they still had some life left. I’m on my second set now with 25000 miles and they still look new and perform fantastic. The sure foot tracking both on rain and snow is amazing! Worth the price!

Best value for the money with all year performance!

A great all year around tire, which totally worth its price! Great performance and durability in any condition such as slushy snow, rain and dry roads. If you are an average driver and don't push your car to limits, this is the best tire that you can buy that saves you time and money by eliminating seasonal tyre switchovers
