CrossClimate2 tires on all my cars

I just bought another set of Michelin CrossClimate2 tires for my college-age son's car. I have these on all my vehicles (4 total) and love them. In Texas, we don't get that much snow but when we get water, we get a lot of it - and the CrossClimate2 tires are fantastic in we conditions!

Great for sedan and suv!

I bought the cross climate 2s for my VW GTI and the suv version for my BMW X5 and I was able to finally test it in the snow. Everything that I expected from the reviews. Felt completely in control on the roads. Pay a little more to get the best performance. Great investment!

Great even in wet conditions!

These are terrific tires, let me tell you. Dry, wet, snow - conquers them all. I used to have Toyo Celsius All-Weather and the Cross Climate 2 was my 2nd set. If I am just comparing the two, it's not even in the same league. My experience with the Toyo tires was terrible in wet conditions. It just felt so unsafe to drive the car; in fact I rear-ended another car just because it had such bad grip in wet condition. That experience made me reluctant to get another All Weather. Since I had a good experience with Michelin in the past and know they are one of the top brands, I decided to go for it one more time. And I can tell you, the grip in all conditions have been great so far, way way way better than the Toyo. It may seem unfair to compare from my old car, a front wheel drive sedan (Toyo) to new car, AWD SUV (Michelin), but the braking says it all. No matter what car you drive, the braking is the same - or in fact worse for AWDs since they are heavier. With the Michelin on, I have no fear of driving even in wet conditions, and in fact even feel confident. The one minor downside is tires are slightly noisier than the stock for me. But performance justifies this minor issue. In all, these are the "almost-perfect" set of tires for practical use.

Puncture magnet

Bought Cross Climate for Honda CrV 2019 and 5000 miles later had 2 punctures episodes. Both looked and felt the same - knock-knock sound - and screw inside the tire thread. I googled “puncture resistance of Cross Climate tires” and found the same cases. I generally like Michelin products but this one is very disappointing.

Alex, it's unfortunate that you had 2 tires that were damaged by screws. Were the tires repairable? Did you purchase road hazard coverage form the retailer? If you still have the damaged tires, give us a call at 866-866-6605 8am-5pm EST Mon-Fri to further discuss this issue.

Great tire with poor fuel economy

I bought these last fall to get me through the winter. I drive 90 miles round trip to and from work and you can never be sure what the weather is going to do. As far as winter traction they are amazing. The ride is smooth and quiet. I would highly recommend this tire unless you are looking for good fuel economy. I have lost almost 8 mpg since installing these. The roll resistance must be pretty high to drop my fuel mileage by that much. Very disappointing considering the cost and the fact they are Michelins. But if you want great traction, ride comfort, and a quiet ride, look no further...

Hi DK, thanks for taking the time to submit a review. 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.

Will absolutely buy again

Bought these in 2021 after a lot of research and now 4 years later I can absolutely recommend them. I have 37,000 miles on them, 7/32nds tread remaining from the original 10/32nds (I believe), and these tires are the best car tires I have owned in my 51 years of driving. Amazing wet and dry traction, superb ride, and really quiet. We go to the north GA mountains a lot and the twisties even wet are no match for these tires. My wifes Lexus handles like a sports car and the ride comfort is great. I’ve seen a few reviews complaining of noise and sidewall splitting and unless they are abusing the tires and not keeping them properly inflated, they must be talking about other tires. I will replace these with another set without hesitation if they ever wear out! Seriously, the best car tire I have ever bought. Oh and I think they look cool as can be too!

Defender over cross climate

We have a New Pathfinder and New Qx60. We put the cross climates on the qx60 and the defender on the Pathfinder. We put them on them one day apart so both tires are New. The ride comfort and mpg with the defender is much better. The cross climate is much harder noiser and eats fuel. Unless you are I'm major snow alot the defender is a better every day tire. The cross climate is mire of a sport tire with great winter performance. We are going to switch them out for the defender this week.

Don’t disregard the reviews on poor MPG

I’ve been a Michelin tire fan, but have buyers remorse on this set. I was pointed to these tires as being excellent, they do great in the rain but otherwise I haven’t felt that they provide superior performance and they must have a great deal of rolling resistance because I’m experiencing a reduction of 3 mpg with my Q5. Very disappointing.

Ed in VA, thanks for taking the time to submit a review. We're sorry to read that you are unhappy with the mpg you are getting with the Cross Climate2. 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. As a last resort, remember as part of the Michelin Promise Plan, our tires have a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. Simply return to the selling retailer for the tires to be swapped out.

These are fantastic tires!

I am a person that has been told I am OCD over my tires, and I telll my mechanic I am picky when it comes to tires. Having said that, I have put on about 20,000 miles on my CrossClimate 2’s that I made my mechanic go and find and I would buy these again in a heartbeat. Even as they age, the traction and confidence in wet are remarkable almost as if there is no rain or snow below you. Stopping distance is terrific with these tires and they ride like a dream! The only cons that I’ve found are a 3-5% reduction in mpg (I have an HEV) and one tire continuously looses about 5psi 2-6 weeks.

Excellent all-around

I recently purchased a set of 4 CrossClimate Tires. These are the second-more refined version of the CrossClimate model that came out before. The CrossClimate2 is built for higher speeds and extra safety. I can feel the difference in my turns at every time I break. I bought these for my Honda CR-V, with the intent of providing a safer ride for my child. So far, I'm very impressed.
