NOISY!! So much want to trash these tires!

I bought these because of the Consumer Reports ratings and I am very disappointed. The road noise regardless of speeds is unbearable. The road noise is comparable to that of driving with mud tires, Which if I were driving with mud tires I would expect the noise but not on car road tires.

VERY NOISY TIRES!

Set of 4 tires purchased and installed at designated location. These tires are noisy and becomes nosier as the speed increased. Michelin had me to go to designated tire installer for Michelin's brand. It was cited, there was a ball bearing problem or axle problem. The noise is inside the car cabin, no outside noise, shaking of wheel, etc. per the diagnostic today. The noise becomes louder as speed increase. The vehicle is not experiencing the sounds omitted from either of the diagnostic assumptions from the servicer today to give credence to their assumption. BUNCH OF HOGWASH! Vehicle has had maintenance intervals as needed at dealership. Once again, cabin ride is noisy from the tires - no squelching or other sounds indicated of the problem cited by Michelin's Authorized Dealer. Be aware!

Great performing tire with FAR too much noise

Great tire at first, but as more miles are placed on them they get very noisy. I have them on 2 vehicles currently and each has about 20,000 miles on the tires. The tread is still in great shape. They have been rotated and balanced. The noise is to the point where I am thinking about replacing the tires with a lot of life left on them otherwise.

CF, sorry you are experiencing this. Increasing noise could be from an irregular wear pattern developing on the tires. Regardless, we'd like to speak to your local Michelin retailer (preferably the selling dealer) while you are there, so that we can get an inspection of the tires and decide on next steps.

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.

Vehicle ride is upgraded.

The handling on my 2016 Civic improved, the ride is quiet, and driving in a downpour was without any drama. Stopping is seamless, road grip is outstanding. The car turns flatter, poor street conditions are smoothed out (quite a feat for Chicago!) and I'm happy with the purchase.

Better traction and the same smooth ride!

Have had the CrossClimate2 tires on my Toyota Venza for 6 months now. They have performed very well in dry, wet and hydroplaning conditions. They have also been excellent in both deep snow and heavy slush conditions. I do find that they kick up more road spray and are slightly noisier in the wheel well than my previous Michelins, which indicates to me that they are clearing more water/slush out of their footprint on the road. Fuel efficiency seems to be the same as my previous Michelins.

Excvellent Traction

I have these tires on my Audi A4, have about 35k miles on them. Living in Colorado in the mountains I have been very impressed. These tires stick like glue. Best part is you can use them year round, no changing to snow tires. Only complaint I have is I did lose a couple of mpg with them. Even so the security of them makes up for it. I just purchased a set for my 2023 Kia K5.

Excellent upgrade after replacing the tires that came on my Jetta

So I drive for a living as a courier and purchase tires every couple of years. This is my third set of CrossClimate's and the grip and handling is such a huge upgrade from the stock tires that come on the vehicles. It's always a little stark because as tires get to the end of their life, you feel them lose their grip in wet and dry situations, but they roll very easy which leads to the best mileage you'll ever get in a vehicle. When swapping to these you instantly notice the grip on turns, how straight the car stays even when tires slightly spin in the rain, and the significantly shorter stopping distance. I typically drop about 4-5 mph in small sedans upon initial switching, but the safety advantages make driving so much easier on my mind! We've had these on a 2020 Honda Civic Hatchback, a 2015 Toyota Sienna Minivan, and now on my 2023 VW Jetta. The improved performance and safety was felt immediately when switching from all the vehicles previous tires, including another Michelin in the van. So while I wish they rolled a little better for gas mileage, I still have to give them 5 stars for overall performance and safety! *They are also very quiet!

VERY SMOOTH RIDE

I JUST EXCHANGED MY DEFENDER 2 TIRES AFTER 5 WEEKS FOR CROSSCLIMATE 2 TIRES BECAUSE THE DEFENDER 2 TIRES WERE TOO LIGHT FOR MY 2005 LINCOLN TOWN CAR AND WERE TRANSMITTING ROAD VIBRATIONS THROUGH MY STEERING WHEEL. THE CROSSCLIMATE 2 TIRES ARE HEAVIER AND PROVIDE A LIKE FACTORY-NEW, VERY SMOOTH RIDE!

Overall, good tires

Overall these are good tires and I am glad I bought them. First, even though they are “all weather” and usuable year round, I swap them out for dedicated winter tires, so I cannot comment on how they preform in severe winter conditions. However, soon after putting them on this spring (March 2024), we had a few cm’s of snow in the Toronto area. They handled this spring snowfall and resulting messy roads effortlessly. In normal commuter driving around the city and during one long distance highway trip I have taken, they have preformed very well in all aspects, steering, braking, accelerating and ride, whether it is sunny or wet, the road is perfect or bumpy. The one draw back is there is some tread growl. I drive a 2017 Mazda 3, which isn’t a whisper quite car, and the tread noise tends to blend in with the normal Mazda sound in a way that does not make it annoying. However if quiet running is a key priority for you, there are probably other tires that will better meet your needs.
