I was really intrigued by the tread pattern, and at first thought that they could be a bit noisy. My mechanic said I would be surprised at how quite they are. I was replacing 4-year-old Michelins that I loved. And to my surprise these tires are almost silent compared to my previous ones! Well done, and the tire pattern has folks asking me about them frequently.

We purchased Cross Climate 2s for our 2014 Equinox late winter/early spring 2024. We have driven in snow, ice, heavy rain, high outside temperatures and the Cross Climate 2s performed exceptionally well. They are expensive but well worth the cost as they provide exceptional service in all weather conditions, exceptional durability and peace of mind driving. They replaced Latitude Tours which also gave exceptional service. We are quite pleased with our tire purchases.

Incredible amounts of snow traction. Initially a bit rough when you buy them, but after about 500 miles or so they feel just fine. We got some heavy snow here and I took them up several steep hills in a FWD Passat, zero issues. incredible stopping distance When you need to come to a stop on snow and ice. They are a bit pricey but consider this, its half the cost of owning a pair of all season and winter tires. I am sold for life.

I bought these a year and a half ago. They were purchased prior to winter driving, with the idea of swapping them out for snow tires if needed. They have performed well in winter conditions for the last two years without changing them out. We also have issues with water pooling on the highway. These handle the situation well, without a hint of hydroplaning. They feel more secure than more expensive tires.

I recently purchased four Cross Climate 2 tires and they have exceeded every expectation. From steering on tight turns to stopping distance they are superior to any tires I’ve owned. I have AKWAYS purchased Michelin tires but these are a cut above the rest

In the summer of 2021 I spent many hours researching tires for the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport that the daughter would soon be taking to college in Maine. The 32 hour drive from Texas to Maine, on mostly dry roads (all highway) was very nice, I do believe that these tires are quieter that the Bridgestones that they replaced. And if there was any change in mpg, I did not notice it. As to their performance in winter conditions, I will give you the daughters report of driving on the snow covered roads in maine…....(it seemed fairly positive to me)..…. “ it’s like driving a tank”. Kudos to the designers and builders. Please continue offering this outstanding tire. When one of our babies is that far away, it gives us Dads a little more peace of mind…….

I purchased these Cross Climate 2's for my wife's 2013 Ford Edge in 2021. We have always been Michelin fans but these are noisy. Yesterday she replaced her Michelin snow tires with these and I went with her on a long drive to the eye doctor and I could not believe how noisy these were. She had told me last year they were noisy but I didn't pay attention but I sure am now. I read reviews where clients said they were quiet, so I was very surprised today and yes, I apologized for not listening to her. She wants rid of them so we will be looking at another quieter set (They will be Michelin).

Long time Michelin Tire Buyer, I've had the AT & Defenders on many model vehicles. Wife has 2016 Toyota Sienna AWD Limited. OEM came with Run flats which were noisy and hard. I changed to Defenders which is a great tire. With 63,000 miles we just installed Cross Cimate 2 size 235-55/18. Michelin knocked it out of the park with these tires. Feels like I'm driving a luxury 80k SUV now. Smooth, Quiet and tons of control. I can not believe how quiet and smooth they ride. We live in Florida but also spend a lot of time in the Mountains of NC. NO snow yet but Ill report once we do. Im pretty confident they will perform. Thank You Michelin.

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.

I purchased 4 Cross Climate 2 tires a month ago for my 21 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. I could not be happier. The ride and handling in all conditions are far superior to the Goodyear Adventure with Kevlar they replaced. My wife has the Cross Climate 2's on her 16 Ford Escape and has had them in winter conditions , and feels safe and confident now. The tires are not cheap, but we feel they are well worth the money for the peace of mind they provide.
