I wanted to replace OEM tires on Lexus RX350 within first week but decided to wait on CrossClimate2 to become available. It was worth the wait, Lexus now rides like a luxury vehicle. Ride is much smoother and quieter and overall more solid feel when making left/right turns. Handles very well and provides confident feeling on very wet roads, expect the same in the winter. Great tire!

I bought these for my 2011 Kia Sorento with 18" tires and they are amazing! Going through puddles and heavy water areas has less hydroplaning if any at all and the car doesn't slow down as much. The handling through turns in both wet and dry situations is awesome and I feel very secure in the handling of my vehicle as I always have if not more now. My only complaint is that they don't offer these in a 255/50-20 which is the size I need for my Ford Explorer XLT. I'm forced to buy a different tire. Hopefully they'll have a better range of sizes when i'm ready to replace those.

Tire are smooth and perform as advertised. I read complaints about mileage and noise. I HAVE DRIVEN a Jetta and Grand Caravan and found the tires to be quiet. My tires are 245x50x20 and they are noisy. The ribs on a larger size are further apart and this causes them to be noisier. As for mileage if you are going on a long trip put 4 PSi over recommended inflation and your mileage will be almost the same as before. Don't forget to adjust pressure when done with your trip.

I've never written a review for a tire, but these tires are truly the best tires ever. I live on a steep him in a private community. It snowed and no neighbors could get out or back to their houses. Our Tesla was able to go up and down the icy and snow covered hill with ease. They work perfectly in sun and rain too. Just amazing!

I bought these tires 4 mths ago. I live in south Florida and have had to drive thru wet roads with lots of traffic. They stop extremely well with no aquaplaning on my Toyota highlander. Noise is not overly loud. I have put 4,500 miles on the tires so far. I am very happy with the purchase.

An excellent all-season or winter changeup tire for almost any application where rain, ice, and moderate snow are factors (a legitimate 'snowflake', 3PMSF) while maintaining confidence at high speeds, and enhancing certain performance characteristics such as cornering and braking. I just ordered the CrossClimate2 to replace a pair of CrossClimate+ on my [FWD] Mazda, not needing to consider another tire, as I recently chose a set of CrossClimate2 on my [AWD] Lexus IS for the new winter set and I could not be happier with them. You do need to be attentive and work them in properly during the break-in period, as they can be a little loose during that break-in. If you do break them in properly you will have a better chance of being a satisfied Customer, this is true with just about ANY tire. I suspect some of the complaints around these either do not understand that break-in approach and/or received poor advice - or no advice at all, from their Installers. As far as gas mileage and road noise comments go I would disregard those as the performance and safety of these tires far exceed any inconvenience in those areas, I've had dozens of different tires on similar vehicles and these are neither loud nor inefficient gas-wise, long-term. I gained back my MPG and then some with these compared to multiple other brands. My only complaint of sorts would be the tire/tread life, where I have just over 20k on a pair of CrossClimate+ after approximately 2 years. That is very low mileage-wise, however,, they have been great through everything nature has thrown at them and even though they have 3-4/32nd left out of the 9/32nds when new, I'm replacing them early for safety concerns instead of trying to squeeze another season or three out of them, which I probably could, but better safe than sorry. My family drives these cars daily and I'm more comfortable with them having more tread. I am expecting more life out of the CrossClimate2 with 10/32nds new... I will likely post a separate performance-centric review for the CrossClimate2 experience on the Lexus, as I only have a few hundred miles on that vehicle, but so far the results exceed expectations, providing a very stable and consistent ride, better than any of the other tires I've ever had on that Lexus. If anything the tires amplify the driving experience on my vehicles and sometimes that means revealing suspension issues and other inconsistencies in their feedback, the type of precise feedback that less dynamic and responsive tires do not provide. This is another likely limitation of understanding on the part of some CrossClimate Owners.

I travelled yesterday in one of my most adventurous drives along the snowstorm direction from Chicago to Detroit. I94 was a combination of slosh pit and fresh accumulated snow at various stretches. Michigan roads were bad to start with. But this tire (and some driving skills, well tire mainly) kept me going at 65 to 70 MPH in that snow and gave me a lot of confidence to drive over. As some users have noted can't speak of its performance well into its life but these were installed 2 months ago and had very less mileage on them as of writing this review. If you hit a heap of snow as in when changing lanes though - because of the way the tire is grooved to let a lot of rain and snow flow outwards you will see a significant slowdown than other tires. It is good if you are in control and have no vehicle around but bad if you are in a traffic. Just the driver has to account for this change in performance style compared to other tires (Ex: Michelin Defender). Another major downside of this tire is on grooved roads - it becomes wobbly thanks to the non continuous contact patch type tread design but isnt dangerous in anyway. Same goes for snow. And despite that wobbliness, cornering in this is a hoot. If these downsides don't bother you, this tire is brilliant and the tread design aesthetic gets full points from me.

Wanted to replace OEM Bridgestone on 2020 Lexus RX350 after the first week but decided to wait 8 months for CrossClimate2 to become available. It was worth the wait, my Lexus now rides like luxury vehicle it is. Ride is much smoother, noticeably quieter and overall more solid feel when making left/right turns. Handles very well and provides confident feeling on very wet roads, hoping for same in the winter. Great tire!

I purchased 4 Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires in December of 2020, and have driven over 9,000 miles on the tires in various weather and on various highway conditions. After doing a lot of online research, I decided to purchase the Michelin tires. I have purchased four sets of Michelin tires in the past for other cars which I have owned. The CrossClimate 2 were the most expensive tires out of the tires I researched but I still purchased the Michelin's due to my past experience with the Michelin tires. I have not been disappointed with my purchase and the performance and handling of the CrossClimate 2 tires. I live in western Pennsylvania and the winter we had last year was very snowy. At times, I was driving in 6 inches of unplowed roads and had no problems. I really like the handling and feel on wet roads and how the tires channel water out on water covered roads. The ride is smooth and quiet with minimal road noise from the highway surface. After about a year of driving on the CrossClimate 2 tires, these tires have shown only slight wear. Overall, the Cross Climate 2 tires have lived up to my expectations for a premium crossover/SUV touring all season tire and worth the extra money I paid compared to the other touring all season tires.

I have had these tires about 15K miles, loved them through last winter, great this spring in the rain and a week ago, the amazing straight line, dry pavement stopping ability of these tires saved me from rear ending a pickup truck when traffic all stopped suddenly on the freeway--had an inch to spare, but am sure I would have been toast with any other tire!
