4 - Cross Climate 2 Tires!! 235 x 50R 18

Bought these 6 months ago and they are excellent tires! Best riding tire so far on this vehicle and I replaced a set of Michelin Pilots that were on before! Better dry road handling and excellent wet road handling. Have not yet experienced winter as of yet!

Too cynical to believe all the 5-star reviews until....

...the price was better than my OEM's, which were balding with less than 30k miles and winter was coming! Granted these tires are much more appropriate for my Stinger vs our grandkid hauler; but the Hankook's had been too 'slippery' last winter....4-5 times turned around before even leaving neighborhood, switching to Grandma's Sportage. And last winter (in north central Ohio) was NOTHING like the one we've had so far!! Since replacing tires (w/CC2's) I've driven on roads bone-dry/sopping wet/mild flooding/ light sleet/mushy snow/1-2" fluffy snow/5-6" packed pre-plowed snow and we're getting ready to have rain melting away piles of curbside snow....these tires grip!!, do NOT slip!!! (All) traction situations have definitely been much better than Hankook OEM's when new and pleasantly more quiet, which did (truthfully) surprise me. Of course, 95% of my driving is on asphalt (same as Hankook's) and full disclosure, they are noticeably nosier on cement (crossing bridges/overpasses/etc). Bottom Line: Do I recommend these? You decide...I'll be putting them on my Stinger; told my daughter to get them for her Sorento; eldest grandson for his Focus RS Turbo.

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.

Increased my cars performance for all conditions.

These tires improved the performance of my Acura. The stock tires would just spin if I hit the gas remotely hard but these grip in snow, ice and drive fine on normal roads as well. I didn't notice too much noise at all on the highway like others have complained and around corners it grips well also. I only added them to the front and have the stock Michelin's on the back.

As Long As They Keep Making Them I'm Buying Them

I had these tires picked out since I saw an indepth breakdown and review by Engineering Explained on YouTube maybe a year before I bought them. I had them installed right before it really started to snow and i couldn't be more satisfied. Few things have the return on investment that this set of tires provides. They shed water impressively well and I could barely slide in the snow if I tried, and I have tried... when and where it wasn't too risky to try, that is. Top notch.

done at 60,000 km

i like these tires, bought 4 yrs ago for my honda ridgeline. now at 60,00km and they are done. i would say ok in the snow but not great on ice. i mostly drive around toronto, am a conservative driver and very conscientious about service, they were rotated regularly as per warranty although i didn't fill out the forms, i don't see how they get to 100,000km ...

Good traction and cornering

I've had my tires for a couple months and have put about 3,000 miles on them. I find they are quiet, have great grip and corner well. The only downside is they have reduced my Fusion hybrid's mpg about 5%. Guess that's the tradeoff for the good traction.

Rman21, thanks for providing feedback regarding your experience with CrossClimate 2 tires. Sorry to hear about your mpg's decreasing. 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.

Great handling tire!

So happy with these tires. Installed on my 2019 Ford Flex and 2016 Subaru Legacy. So far, I have experienced heavy rain driving conditions and these tires performed very well. Traction is exceptional. Looking forward to winter driving conditions since I live in Ohio's snow belt area.

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.

Major upgrade!

After much research, I replaced a set of Yokohama Geolander tires with a set of CrossClimate2 on my wife's 2015 Lexus NX. WOW, what a difference in ride and road noise. It was like getting a new vehicle. The Yokohama tires were original equipment on our NX, and I always complained about the road noise and harsh ride. I thought it was the car and now I know it was the tires! I'm curious how they will perform this winter on snowy roads on our 2wd SUV. So far, great tires!
