I bought the Cross Climate 2's based on The Tire Rack and Subaru Owners Forums opinions. Most owners of The Subaru Outback replaced their OEM tires with The Cross Climate 2's. I am disappointed that Michelin refuses to offer the updated Cross Climate 3's in the US and we are stuck with the "old" design Cross Climate 2's. I have not driven a great deal over the last three months , perhaps a total of one thousand miles. In my mind it is difficult to give a proper evaluation. My expectations of the tire are better long term durability, adhesion, braking, traction and road noise. So far I have not experienced anything to demonstrate the Cross Climate 2 exceeds the performance of The Vredestein Quatrac 5 that were mounted on my car previously. We shall see.

I’ll never buy another type of tire again. Absolutely love these, I just swapped out my old, worn tires for these. When I left the shop, I couldn’t believe driving could feel as good as it does now. The braking feels safer, and I feel like I could drive in 2 feet of snow if I had to. So happy!

OMG...these tires walk through snow like you wouldn't believe. I put them through the test, going through snow drifts, up the driveway...even at a snail's pace & couldn't get stuck. The car didn't slide a bit. We had several inches (10"?) on the ground. My car didn't hesitate. It's amazing..this is nice!

Bought the Cross Climate 2 for my 216 Honda Accord EXL (3.5 6 Cylinder). After having 2 set of Michelin OEM tires, I switch over based on multiple personal recommendations. Having now driven on dry, rainy, and snow-covered roads, I can honestly say that I recommend these tires above all else. I have driven SUVs, Subaru's, and now a sedan. Great tires for all around traction. Little road noise, and great handling.

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.

I put the climate 2 tires on my wife's nissan kicks because it's a smaller suv I wanted tires that had good winter and summer traction. The tires run smooth on the car and my wife is very pleased with the winter traction she has gotten so far. As they say you get what you pay for and I think we did.

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.

This is my second set of these. I have a Toyota plug in hybrid Rav 4. I was concerned about the tread life since the plug in version is 800 lbs heavier than a regular Rav 4. I got 60,000 miles on them and it’s now later in January here in Wisconsin even with end of service tread left they still worked pretty good in the snow. Great in the wet and really good in the snow

We have two Subarus ... a 2015 Forester and a 2019 Outback. I put CrossClimate 2 tires on the Forester a couple years ago and Indiana had mild winters with little snow so I was disappointed that I never really got to test my new tires in deep snow. They are fine in the rain and spring, summer, and fall. This fall I put CrossClimate 2 tires on my newer Outback and we were pleased from the start with the smooth, quiet ride. Recently Indiana was hit with 14 inches of snow and sun zero temperatures. Going out the 100 foot gravel rural lane to the road was a piece of cake. The next morning the lane had drifted in with more snow, up to two feet in places. The Outback with Subaru's all wheel drive and X mode and new CrossClimate 2 tires thought it was a tank or bulldozer 😂.

I had these tires(or an earlier “model”) on my Honda Accord Hybrid because of their superior ratings & reviews re: traction on wet roads. Because of my excellent experience with the previous tires, I was determined to get the same (or newer version) Crossclimate2 tires. And the new tires have lived up to, or exceeded my expectations
