Cross Climate II Awesome!

I should say up front that I have personally driven well over a half a million miles on multiple sets of Michelin pick-up truck and auto tires over the past thirty years, and have been very impressed with the ride, performance, and durability of every set. Much of those miles were on interstate highways, with lots of surface street travel. So when I bought a set of four Cross Climate II's three months ago I was very interested in the Cross Climate II tread design and a bit excited to see how it would perform. Well lets just say I was not disappointed. The first week was dry highway and surface roads, the tires felt great! as have all my previous sets of Michelin tires have. I did get a chance early on to checkout the side wall stability at high speed when I had to dodge some significant road debris (a semi truck leaf spring) at highway speed (75mph). The Cross Climate II's responded with true stability and easily passed the high speed road debris dodge test with flying colors. On the third week I was able to check them out in a major down pour, I drove into a rain storm doing 75 mph. I initially cut my speed back to 60 mph to get a feel of tires meeting the very wet road surface, and they felt great. So with no traffic around I tilted the wheel back and fourth slightly to feel the tread stability while driving on water, and they felt glued to the road, so I being a bit of risk taker I took the speed back up to 75mph and the performance was the same; excellent! So that brings me to today my first drive of the year through three or four inches of icy wet heavy snow, tracking was very good through lane changing. The Cross Climate II's handled the snow and slush with no problem. The Cross Climate II Michelin tires deserve five stars and two thumbs up in my book! In closing this review I tell a little story about some advise I overheard when I was younger working American. I overheard a older work colleague say there was two purchases where quality was imperative and he would never go cheap on; shoes and mattresses, because if not in one your in the other. So when I started driving and purchasing tires I added tires to his adage, so there are three things where quality was imperative and I would never go cheap on; shoes, mattresses and tires, because if not in / on one your in / on the other.

CrossClimate2 outstanding so far

Like some of you I read in Consumer Reports that the CrossClimate2 is a top-rated all-season tire, and I also watched videos like the one from Engineering Explained on youtube. I also read reviews here. Even after all that, I wondered what these tires would really be like. My previous tire was a Goodyear Eagle LS-2 that was the OEM tire for my 2018 Acura TLX. The Goodyears had 46k miles on them, but they still had plenty of tread left and were only three years old, but I wanted to replaced them because I wasn't happy with their performance in any season—dry, wet, or in snow. And so I was looking for a major performance and safety upgrade to justify the expense of early tire replacement. I'll give details below, but long story short the Michelin CrossClimate2 tires are outstanding so far. I've been driving since 1980, and I've driven most of the major tires brands over the years, and so far these are the best tires I've ever owned. Quietness: This is the one area where the Goodyear Eagle has a small edge, but the CrossClimate2 is still a quiet tire that's good for a luxury car. And actually the CrossClimate2 is much quieter around corners. The Goodyears in moderate cornering would squeal in protest, and make it seem like I was 1970s cop show or something trying to make a dramatic get away. The CC tires are no drama tires in comparison. Comfort: About equal. Both very comfortable. Interestingly the CrossClimate2 seems a bit better at handling speed bumps. MPG: About the same as the Goodyear Eagle. This was a surprise, because I was prepared to give up 2-3 mpg for a better tire, but the mpg seems to be about the same for me. Obviously ymmv. Lateral grip: Wow. Big difference. Where as mentioned the Goodyear Eagle tires were squealing for mercy at moderate speeds around corners, and seeming like they might even lose grip, the Michelin tires are great in comparison. No drama. Excellent road grip in corners. More fun to drive. Major upgrade. Safer. Took some twisting 2-lane country roads I'm quite familiar with, as well as a steeply banked cloverleaf onramp that's a favorite, and it's clear the Michelin tires are on a whole different level. It feels like you're riding on rails with the CrossClimate2. Stopping distance: Didn't try a panic stop, but going downhill on a familiar country road with no one behind me I did a rapid stop from a good speed up to a stop sign, and the CC tires seemed to stop significantly faster and with greater confidence. On center feel: This was a surprise, but perhaps because of the directional V pattern of the tread it seems like the on-center feel for the new tires is much better. I like the road feel. I feel more connected to the car and to the road with the Michelin tires. I've only owned these tires for a few days and about 300 miles so far, and the conditions have been dry, and so I'm not sure at some point I'll get to try out the two probably strongest areas for the CC tires—wet traction and snow traction. Right now I'm feeling confident the tires will live up to expectations. Overall, the CrossClimate2 tires seem like a great upgrade, and well worth the money if you are looking for a premium all-season tire with the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating.

Amazing!

We had little winter here this year but was impressed with traction and aggressive tracks in what snow we did have. Very confident of tires. Taking them off for summer to finish of standard ties that came with vehicle, and noticed a huge difference. Looking forward to the return in the fall!

Blew Me Right Out off the Water!

I bought these since I was looking for an all season tire with the 3PMSF on it. In my review, this topped the charts on Tire Rack and Consumer Reports, so I bought these, not knowing what to expect. Next thing I knew, my car feels completely different to drive than it did before. It’s more composed, on-center feel is more noticeable and the ride is wicked quiet!

I am impressed

I was skeptical about these All-weather tires until I put them on my daily. I have used sets of UHP tires on my other cars and I am impressed by the performance in both dry and wet for tires that you could also use in winter conditions. Speaking of winter performance, you cannot expect it to be as good as a set of dedicated winter tires from Michelin or other decent brands, but as long as you know how to drive properly in winter, these tires will serve you well and you don't have to buy another set of wheels and tires anymore. I did not test it on the same car but personally I think it even outperform some cheap or old winter tires that I have tried. If you are on the fence, just give it a try and you are not going to regret it.

Absolutely the finest tire I've run. I'm a consumate Volvo S90 consumer and have always kept the Michelin CrossClimate on my vehicles. Long lasting, quiet, sturdy, amazing in aggressive driving scenarios. Wouldn't put another tire on these cars ever. The tire quality matches the vehicle quality in this case and in my opinion is second to none!

Love the CrossClimate - Not sure I like the CrossClimate

Purchased 4 CrossClimate tires two weeks ago to replace Perellis on my 2025 Volvo sedan. Had an opportunity to drive these in all conditions and I must say, what an awesome tire in the snow and wet pavement. However, on dry pavement, expressway driving 70-80 MPH, getting a vibration. Not an obnoxious vibration, but definitely noticeable. Also, the tires make the car feel loose, wanting to move side to side on a dry expressway. Lastly, my fuel economy isn't nearly as good as before. Back to the dealer in a few days to check the balance on these tires.

TANK of a tire

These tires were on my Ford Fusion Energi which is a heavy plug in hybrid. These tires lasted about 77,000 miles of mixed highway and city use. I have an alignment issue so would recommend getting your car aligned at the same time and rotate frequently every 5k-8k miles. Today they sold themselves again. Took a nail and the tire still kept pressure. See the pictures! What a tank of a tire.

Fantastic traction, even in the snowstorm

I am so glad I got the tires when I did. My car is still new and I thought my regular tires would be good enough for the winter here in Upstate New York, but the first hint of frost and I was sliding already. So I got my new CrossClimate tires about a month ago and I went through the foot high snow of our latest snowstorm without any problems.

Quality Tire

Purchased these to replace P7 Cinturato all seasons. Wet and dry traction are great. Low noise. Firm / responsive feel. Made in USA for my size. (215/60/16). The given warranty along with the 3PMSF winter rating is what sold me on these tires. Price seems reasonable given the warranty and excellent reviews.
