Ride with confidence

I replaced my Michelin Primacys to give these a try. I live in upstate New York where we get harsh winters. So far I am satisfied, I feel more confident on the road, however a little more road noise and slight steering wheel feel which is expected with such an aggressive thread. I believe these tires are second to none when it comes to an all season tire with the snow factor included.

One Great Tire!

Bought 3 months ago. Since then we have had snowfalls of up to 30 cm (12”) of snow and icy, compact snow roads as well as dry pavement. So fat these are about the best tires I have had on a regular vehicle. No spinning when starting out, quiet on dry pavement with good handling. One excellent thing I have noticed on ice and compact snow is little to no sideways sliding. Have not experienced heavy rainfall yet, but with traction in snow and on ice I do not expect any problems. These would be the perfect tire for the Lower Mainland of BC which gets heavy rain and occasional wet snow.

Hurts gas mileage

I bought a set of four of these tires for my 2017 VW Golf. The previous tires were OEM provided Continental ProTrack TX with about 40,000 miles on them. The old tread was getting low but still acceptable for Mass inspections. They also seemed to have developed a flat spot which was noticeable at low and high speeds. The Cross Climate 2 got very good review but in hindsight I don't recall seeing anything about highway mileage. On a trip I regularly make of about 70 miles with 60 highway, I would average 40-42 mpg. Now with these new Cross Climate 2 tires I only get 35-38 mpg. So after paying a top of the line tire I am going to continue to pay more every fill up through loss in gas mileage.

Wonderful, well thought and striking tread design

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.

Cannot get rid of vibration at 70+ MPH.

I bought these set of tires after having the original CrossClimate tires on my e-Golf. I had them installed by a certified Michelin dealer, balanced, and did an alignment. Unfortunately, these tires have a slight vibration at 70+ MPH. I took the car back to the original place where I had them installed and they confirmed that the balancing was correct. I then took it to a second independent tire store to have them double check the balancing with Road Force equipment and they also said it was correct. I ended up using the Michelin 60-day Satisfaction Guarantee to get them replaced with a set of Michelin Sport Pilot A/S.

CrossClimate 2 - My New Normal Tire

I've had these on my 2014 Avalon Limited for about a year now. I got them after the surprise snowstorm we had because I saw they were fine in the summer, too. These are honestly the best tires I've ever had. I've always wanted a quieter tire, especially on highway sections where they've put down a layer of gravel over tar, making it very noisy to drive on. There's still some noise, of course, but this is the first tire that has ever made a noticeable difference. I've had no issues with how the car handles or anything. I had to dodge a surprise armadillo on the road recently and had to make a pretty aggressive maneuver to steer around him. My back end only lost traction for a fraction of a second and my steering remained solid. I also noticed a big difference in how well these tires cut through those water ruts that are on some highways. There's another instance where I've seen a big difference with these tires. There's far less resistance when you drive along those extended patches of road water. Unfortunately, we didn't get any snow or sleet this past winter, so there's nothing I can say right now about how well they do there. I waited through the whole winter to write this review, but I decided to go ahead and post it without the winter report.

Quiet tire, good in rain

Bought these as a summer tire 2 years ago because of the ability to deal with heavy water on the road. But they are also quiet and handle well enough for what they are on , 2018 Tiguan. The wear is reasonable so far. .The all-season designation allows travel in fringe periods until I install the snows. However... If these are installed backwards they would become dangerous in rain or snow, forcing everything to the centre of the tire. I can understand those who say they are unstable , maybe noisy, ...perhaps running backwards.

Excellent on snow

I live in Wisconsin and got tired of switching to winter tires In file and back in spring. I was looking for a tire that could be run year round, but had good performance on snow. The CrossClimate II definitely has been the answer. It delivers excellent performance on all road conditions, including ice and snow. Excellent traction and stopping performance on bad winter roads. I would highly recommend it!

For the ones you love most.

I had my parents put these CrossClimate2's on my mother's Ford Escape and I'm convinced they're the absolute best choice for the one's you love. I know if she's encountering poor conditions on the road, that she's got the best ability to stop and get going compared to anyone else. I've driven it multiple times myself and ridden passenger multiple times also. These tires are extremely quiet and the ride is much improved. My father liked the CrossClimate2's so much he's switched from his previous Defenders on his Van to the CrossClimate2s. If you encounter poor weather fairly often, these *are the tires for you*. I'm rocking my own PilotSports and we're just one happy Michelin family now. I don't often go out of my way for brands like this but I feel we actively stake our lives on these tires every time we choose to drive and I only settle for the best, Michelin.

So so all weather tires

Purchased tires in January 2022- 45,000 kms on them. Traction is good on wet & dry roads. I find them noisy compared to all season tires- my expectations may not be realistic. Mounted on 19" aluminum Honda OEM rims- continually leak air in all seasons- maybe rims are at fault. Nevertheless will swap out to a smaller rim and tire with all season capability
