- 4 out of 5 stars review2/8/2026The tires look really cool and in general they work really well. However, we had a bit of a lot of snow recently and the snow caked up on the tires and gave me a vibration When drivingover 50 miles an hour. The issue went away once it warmed up and I removed some of the snow from the tires, but it was a scary situation. Now that I am aware of it, I won’t think my car is falling apart
Snow will adhere to them
Soccer mom 26Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review2/22/2026After 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.
Best Tires for my Subie
MITIMAN2026Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/29/2026I just put on my second set of Cross Climate2's on my 2016 Outback. Besides the fact the Outback is just the best car for the mountains and snow, adding the Cross Climate's just adds that extra layer of reliability and safety. Traction is amazing in sow and rain! I would recommend these tires to anyone looking for a great all season tire!
Second set
LMNOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review1/20/2026This is my second set of these. I have a Toyota plug in hybrid Rav 4. I was concerned about the tread life since the plug in version is 800 lbs heavier than a regular Rav 4. I got 60,000 miles on them and it’s now later in January here in Wisconsin even with end of service tread left they still worked pretty good in the snow. Great in the wet and really good in the snow
Great all around tire
Car geekOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review1/19/2026I purchased these to improve traction on our 2014 Honda Odyssey. In rain it had issue on acceleration with slippage and in snow was much worse. After these were put on the slippage was reduced by nearly 90%, in snow the improvement is good but not quite that level. I see no increase in road noise which is great. A bit too early to say anything about wear and durability.
Great rain traction improvement
RonnjOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review1/23/2026My wife and I have put three quarters of a million miles on Michelin tires over the last ten years and they have been by far the best when it comes to durability and tread life. We have had sets of Goodyear that don’t get half the same miles on them and have had durability and wear issues. I have used the ltx m/s2s and now the defender ltx m/s and my wife is now using the crossclimates. The grip and control on her tires is excellent and my m/s2s got 100k miles on all of them.
The ultimate in Durability and tread life
Taco truck driverOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review2/16/2026We love our new Michelin cross climate 2 tires. We have had these almost 4 months now and have been through many weather tests. Great grip on wet roads and excellent grip in the snow. Braking is very good on both. They run quieter and absorb road abnormalities around the city and on the highway better than the Pirelli tires we had before these. Very smooth. Well worth the slightly higher price than other premium tires in our opinion. Very happy with our purchase.
Superior performance
Ted66Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 4 out of 5 stars review2/14/2026I 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. W...
Not Enough time to evaluate
APPLETON TDI CUP CAROriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review2/11/2026I haven't had them long but they are a huge upgrade from my stock tires. It snowed recently in nyc and I had them put on. My car was getting stuck constantly before these. They are too good, they give me more confidence with my car on ice and snow then I think the low profile is sometimes able to handle. It feel like I have a truck, my tires have not slipped once so far.Johnny QuestOriginally posted onmichelinman.com
- 5 out of 5 stars review1/20/2026We’ve had our tires for about a month and a half now and I’ve been in some crummy weather, snow on the roads, freezing rain and we have found our tires to do quite well in poor weather and great on dry roads. We hope to get a lot of mileage out of them. It’s our first set
Go Michelin man

ScharfOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 4 out of 5 stars review8/17/2026So far, so good. I am pleased with the overall performance of the tires considering traction, tread wear and braking.

ZanderOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/19/2026Braking, traction and road grip has significantlly improved. The car just seems safer with these tires.

Parson49Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review5/20/2026My wife got 4 tires about 2 1/2 years ago, and they still look brand new with 20,000 miles. I bought 4 tires today so I could enjoy the safety and comfort too.David TxOriginally posted onmichelinman.com

MHOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review6/6/2026what an intelligent design. better traction and all surfaces, far better braking on wet. snow rated and a mileage warrantee. this might just be the best all around tire of the nearly 18 sets I have bought over the years.
