I've seen and heard a lot of comments about these tires being noisy. I've had a set on my 2013 Dodge Journey SXT (front wheel drive) for 4 years. They were fine at first, no noticeable noise. When I went for my first rotation, the service writer asked how I liked them. I said they were fine and he mentioned that some folks complain of the noise. (side story-they stripped my wheel locks with their impact wrench. Had to go to Dodge dealer, who ended up having to blast them off with a jackhammer!) After all that and the rotation...dang! Noisy!!! Had I not noticed until the guy mentioned it??? I wasn't sure. After a few months of noise, it occurred to me that the ordeal with the wheel locks may have blown my alignment. So I had one done, and like magic, the noise was gone. I've driven out the rest of the tread miles on that set, smooth and quiet. I'm about to go get a new set next weekend. Oh and by the way, they're very impressive in heavy rain. Living in the south, never had a chance to try them on snow. To all the naysayers, I say "make sure your alignment is good before posting negative reviews!"

My new Michelin Tires are the best tires that I eve purchased for my car. I base my opinion on traction, durability and adhesion. We have had lots of snow and ice in the Northeast USA this winter. My tires have exceeded my expectations in all kinds of conditions.

Just got those tires a week ago from Subaru dealership. I drive a Subaru ascent touring. The positive: quiet ride and good grip. The negative: there is an absolutely annoying vibration that occurs at greater than 72 miles. Took it back to the Subaru dealership for rebalancing ( one week tires) . I was told those tires are expected to do that and this is why they don't have it in stock ( they had to get them them from their regional warehouse). I have at least 3 trips of 2 hours plus a month on the Kansas turnpike (75 mph speed limit) and i am REALLY not looking forward for the next 3 years….

When I bought my car in 2019 I swapped the manufacturer's tires for the CrossCimate and put well over 80,000 km on them which included several trips to Florida. They were great tires but wore down so I replaced them with the CrossClimate 2. These tires are a big improvement over the original. Better handling in snow especially when making turns. They're expensive but worth it.

I have been a loyal Michelin customer for forty years and this is the first time I have ever been disappointed. I bought these for my wife's Subaru Crosstrek when the original set needed replacement and I have never heard the end of it. They're okay around town but when you get up to highway speeds you can't hear yourself think. Since Michelins last a long time, I'll probably have to suffer with these for 5-6 years!

These tires are our first replacement tires since purchasing our car. We have a Subaru and it is all wheel drive. We selected the Cross climate because it is supposed to be great in all weather conditions. So far, we have noticed how much nicer the car handles. It brakes better. Even the wet tread pattern it leaves on the driveway is nicer.

Drove through a winter storm and tires performed OK given the conditions. Could feel them slipping and sliding especially when going under overpasses. Maximum safe speed was approximately 40-45 mph on I-75 (posted speed limit was 75mph). Seem to handle snowy conditions well on side streets at lower speeds. Haven't slid through any stop signs.

Excellent traction on wet roads. Also excellent on snow covered roads. I have these tires on a Kia Carnival and am really impressed. The tread design looks like they would be noisy but they are very quiet. Would buy these again when it’s time for new tires.

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.

After seeing the recommendations of many fellow Subaru Outback owners who use the CrossClimate 2 tires, I did my own research and decided to follow their lead. I could not be happier with these tires. After installation in the late autumn, we experienced two major snowfalls that put them to the test. The traction in slippery highway and side street conditions has been reassuring. The car, already good in such weather, is even better with the Michelins. Braking is assured. The ride is comfortable and quiet. It's still early days, but I am confident I made the right decision to buy the CrossClimate 2.
