Best tires we know of

These are the third set of tires we have purchased now for three different vehicles. Our ambient temperatures range from -45F to 95F and road conditions from near perfect to dense water, freezing rain and compacted snow and ice. These tires out perform any other brands and models we have tried over 50 years of driving as well as commercial driving.

The ultimate in Durability and tread life

My wife and I have put three quarters of a million miles on Michelin tires over the last ten years and they have been by far the best when it comes to durability and tread life. We have had sets of Goodyear that don’t get half the same miles on them and have had durability and wear issues. I have used the ltx m/s2s and now the defender ltx m/s and my wife is now using the crossclimates. The grip and control on her tires is excellent and my m/s2s got 100k miles on all of them.

Great all season tire

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!

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.

Performance is as good as advertised.

I purchased these tires approximately one month ago. Did a some local driving around town and found the handling to be good and the overall comfort and noise level to be acceptable. This past week I did a long distance trip from NY to MI and back that was uneventful with clear driving going, and light snow and rain on the return trip. I would say the tires performed as expected for the entire trip. No surprises, that enabled driver confidence.

Cheap made tire

I have been a Michelin tire buyer all my life and this is the worse tire I have ever bought . Had them for three weeks and they are so cheap made that I barely hit a curve and it knocked a hole in the side. Not sure if I will ever buy another Michelin tire.

Excellent tire for the Gen 6 Subaru Outback.

These are excellent tires for our 2020 Subaru Outback Touring XT. Comfortable and quiet ride with low noise and good traction. We have not yet had the opportunity to drive in rain or snow yet to judge wet traction, but dry road performance is excellent. We reviewed test results from Consumer Reports and Tire Rack to help selection.

Great tires these cross climate 2s!

I love these Michelin tires on my Awd Dodge charger ! Nice quiet comfortable ride Great grip in the turns and really sure footed in the snow. I did a lot of research between these tires and the competition and I'm glad I chose these Michelins which were highly rated online as well as by a friend who put a set on his Jeep grand Cherokee !

Exceeded Expectations

This tire has exceeded my expectations. I've only purchased Michelin tires (except once) for my vehicles. As recently as a month before I bought these actually. I wish I would have decided on these for my other purchase. They are good but nothing like these. If you are looking for a true multi weather (not season) tire the CrossClimate2 is truly amazing. This winter was a great test bed for this review. We've had 8+ in snow falls, sleet, ice, rain, and nice weather so far and I can't say enough about how well this tire handles the elements. Really amazing in rain. I don't want to say that I speed but I will say that I'm not sure at what speed you could get these tires to hydroplane. I couldn't get them to. I don't hear any road noise at high speed and was impressed with the snow and ice capabilities too. These are great if you live in an area where you truly have all types of weather each year. When it's time to replace the factory Michelin's on my wife's car, this will be my choice. No more research needed. The price tag is well worth it. When you cost justify what you feel is expensive you have to keep in mind that you will rely on your tires for years. You should always want a high quality tire under you.

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.
