Handles well

I was concerned the tread pattern would be noisy, but we honestly believe they are as quiet as our former two sets. They handle well in the curves. it will be interesting to see how they handle on ice and snow.

New Tires for my daughter SUV

I wanted tires for my daughter car to be safe while driving in Canada in all weather conditions, (right now is raining a lot) These tires gave me that peace of mind. Also the SUV feels like new with these her new "shoes"

Superior performance

We love our new Michelin cross climate 2 tires. We have had these almost 4 months now and have been through many weather tests. Great grip on wet roads and excellent grip in the snow. Braking is very good on both. They run quieter and absorb road abnormalities around the city and on the highway better than the Pirelli tires we had before these. Very smooth. Well worth the slightly higher price than other premium tires in our opinion. Very happy with our purchase.

Safer than ever!

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!

I just purchased these tires while on vacation because my old tire could not be repaired. This is an amazing tire. Great in the snow, fantastic handling, and no more noise than my pirelli scorpions. You would expect some noise with the aggressive tread pattern but that is not the case. What noise there is seems to be quieter and a lower frequency. Very happy!

Oh ya!

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.

Lower MPG

I was averaging 40 to 41 miles per gallon in my RAV4 hybrid Limited with the OEM tires. I just installed a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. These handle better than the OEM and are more surefooted on mountain roads. I read other CrossClimate2 owners were getting lower mpg so I raised the inflation 4 psi over the recommended pressure to see if that would help. Even with the higher pressure I'm now consistently averaging 34.5 MPG. 15% lower. EV's and hybrid's get a triple hit from high rolling resistance tires like the CrossClimate 2. First when running on gas only, Second from faster battery drain while using battery power only and a third from a loss in regeneration to recharge the battery when coasting or braking.

jbassoc, you make some good points, also new tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires.  As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases.  Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve. In addition, there is also the Michelin Promise Plan that offers a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your new set of Michelin tires, just return to the selling retailer to exchange them for a new set of equal or lesser value.

I haven't had them long but they are a huge upgrade from my stock tires. It snowed recently in nyc and I had them put on. My car was getting stuck constantly before these. They are too good, they give me more confidence with my car on ice and snow then I think the low profile is sometimes able to handle. It feel like I have a truck, my tires have not slipped once so far.

Don’t Buy These Tires!

Tires are great when they are new, now I have had them for 2 years I will never buy Michelin tires again. Tire were great the first and part of the second year. Now they howl and extremely noisy, worse than aggressive pickup tires. Also I had the tires rotated every 5,000 miles. DO NOT BUY THE CROSSCLIMATE TIRES!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the increased noise you’ve experienced over time. Tire noise is often associated with irregular tread wear. This type of wear may be influenced by factors such as rotation intervals, vehicle condition, wheel alignment or tire and wheel balance. We recommend visiting an authorized tire dealer so the tires and vehicle can be properly inspected and give us a call with the results. Our number is 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Excellent tires

I put a set on my ford escape and have driven nearly 70,000 miles on them so far. They still have decent tread on them and perform very well. I have noticed that they get a little louder after about 60,000 miles. But most tires don’t even make it that far. I recently bought another set for our Santa Fe.
