Great tires - Answers to common complaints!

People seem to be getting confused about a couple points: 1. Wandering / Poor tracking: this tends to happen with untrained staff mounting all four tires on the wheels one direction, which makes directional tread patterns like these backwards on one side of the car, which results in poor tracking and wandering. I have had tire shops do this, and it feels exactly how some "disappointed" reviewers are describing their performance. 2. Poor MPG: Michelin has replied here to a bunch of people that fresh tire compounds result in lower mpg at first. That's not untrue necessarily, but so far people have ignored that new tires are physically larger than worn tires, even at the same nominal size. The worn tires are giving artificially high MPG figures (they aren't going as far as the odometer says), and the new ones are often giving artificially low figures (going farther than the odometer says, since they are often set for an average tire age), so jumping from worn to new makes it falsely appear that there is a significant MPG difference. So, don't get it twisted! These are great tires, especially in wet environments. Even at double the price of standard "used car grade" tires, I bought two more sets of these, so every car would be as safe and comfortable. I only wish they came in a light truck load rating so I could feel better taking them on forest roads.

Luxury ride

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!

Better than expected!

This tire (and its predecessor the +) has gotten rave reviews by Tire Rack, Consumer Reports, and others. When Michelin came out with some new sizes in February 2021 I figured it was time to give them a shot. I had already replaced the tires on my wife's Subaru Forester with CC+ before the CC2 were available. So far, I really like these tires. At 245/55R18, they are 20mm wider than the OEM tires (225/60R18) so they give more grip than either the OEM Yokohamas or the Michelin Premier A/S tires they replaced.

Best Tires Ever!

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!

Great Trip

I bought these tires just before going on a 3300 mile trip. They performed well. Speed limits varied between 55 mph and 80 mph. The tires held the road nicely and I felt comfortable at any speed. I was particularly pleased with the performance in an unexpected September snow storm when leaving Yellowstone. The temperature was 33 degrees with about 4 inches of unplowed snow going over Sylvan Pass. Lower speed as expected but curves and changes in elevation were managed well. I was really glad I had my new tires!

Great Tires

I bought a set for my 2013 Ford Focus in late March. I have about 5K miles on them and really like the handling and grip on both dry and wet roads. I can't wait so see what they are like this winter. I also put a set on my 2008 Ford Taurus X in September. Only a few thousand miles but just like the others they are great in wet and dry road conditions.

Super utility tire

These tires are a bit on the pricey side but so far after 8 months of travel I am pleased with the product. After doing a copious amount of research these tires perform as touted by Michelin. Ideal for the climate here in eastern Ontario. I had concerns initially that the tread pattern would cause a noisy tire but thus far road noise is acceptable

The best tire I have ever owned.

When I initially put this tire on my 2020 RAV4 hybrid, it felt noisy and reduced mpg. But after driving for 1000 miles I noticed road noise has decreased significantly and mpg had improved very much. I checked it with a decibel meter. Also the traction in rain is really good.

Doesn't live up to the hype the internet makes it to be

It's relatively quiet, smooth on dry pavement, safe on wet roads, and good in wintry roads that are plowed. So-so on ice, as it slides in the direction of the crown of the road when coming to a stop on an icy intersection, but getting moving again, no issues. But... deep wet snow, it's too easy to break traction, since the long tread blocks, while it's good for grip when it's not snowing, makes it difficult for it to cut through the denser wet snow. Yes, my car was initially on Eco drive mode, but then had to switch to a off-road mode to get going again.

Great for Everyone but Me!

I have a 2019 Mazda CX-9 Signature and want to put these on it but the largest tire listed is 245/50R20. The stock OEM Falkens on the car are 255/50R20. When will Michelin have these CrossClimate2 tires in my size? I really prefer Michelins and only want to go to All Weather Tires for this car.
