Much better than expected.  Really good in the deep wet snow.   Excellent in wet.  Also good on dry, in fact very good. I run studded Michelin North 4 in winter for our brutal climate (calgary) but I had to leave them on late into the spring as we get late snow and my summers were performance summers and you dont dare go on any snow what so ever.  Three sets is too much for 90 percent of drivers but this saves my studs for the dec / jan feb when I need then.  In fact they are so good on dry that when my performance summers wear out i'll just use these. in my size.  225/40/18    the Cross climate 2 are 90 percent of my pilot sports   The compromise for winter was not as much as I was expecting and the same for summer ,  They are a tiny bit noisy compares to a luxury touring tire.

My husband bought the Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires because the salesman told him how many good reviews they had gotten from his customers. Boy was he right! I drove home in the pouring rain one night last week, and the car just drove right through the puddles on the road with no resistance! Wow! I give these tires an AAA+

Purchased a set of these for my 2015 Subaru legacy. Great dry and great in rain. However I hit a deer and totaled the car. Purchased a new Subaru WRX but unfortunately the sizes didn't match so I had to purchase another set to fit the WRX to replace the factory Dunlops Can't wait for snow!

I’ve only had these tires a short time but I am totally impressed. They are a quiet riding tire yet in a down pour I could tell they stuck to the pavement while driving through puddles of water. I’m looking forward to see how they perform come winter and the snow. Great product so far.

I have purchased these tires for a variety of different sedan and mini van vehicles, and they are perfect all-season tires for those living in the Midwest. We get a fair amount of snow in winter and rain in spring / fall, and these tires perform well in those conditions. The added bonus if they are not loud when driving 60+ mph on the freeway, and they help me maintain a decent MPG rating when driving in the city + freeway. Overall, I am happy that I purchased these in the past and I am planning to continue purchasing them in the future.

Purchased the Cross Climate 2 tires for our Volvo XC90 three months ago. I have been purchasing Michelin tires for over 40 years and always replace original tires with Michelins. Immediately noticed an improvement in ride quality in all aspects over the original tires. The reide was quieter, smoother and the vehicle tracked better. We took a 3,000 mile trip shortly after we put on the new tires and exxperienced about a half mile per gallon increase in mileage.. NOw that we have driven the car on both snow and ice I must say that in our opinion the best tires we have ever owned. The traction and stopping during winter driving conditions in the midwest is superb. I have recommended these tires to many friends and relatives.

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.

After much research, The Cross Climate 2 was my choice. Extreme control and traction in the snow, slush, rain and on summer days from one tire, well four tires. lol 2007 Ford Mustang GT. Highly recommend you get these tires for your safety and everyone elses. Suprise snow storm? No problem. Torrential rain? Thunderstorm? No problem. Casual or Spirited Drivng? No problem. Get these tires! And yes, they ride quiet.

These tires are awesome they look great and unbelievable quieter than the Ironman tires that was on our vehicle also when it rains it doesn’t make a difference the road still seems dry the car doesn’t pull or anything when you hit a water hole best tires I have ever owned thanks

An excellent all-season or winter changeup tire for almost any application where rain, ice, and moderate snow are factors (a legitimate 'snowflake', 3PMSF) while maintaining confidence at high speeds, and enhancing certain performance characteristics such as cornering and braking. I just ordered the CrossClimate2 to replace a pair of CrossClimate+ on my [FWD] Mazda, not needing to consider another tire, as I recently chose a set of CrossClimate2 on my [AWD] Lexus IS for the new winter set and I could not be happier with them. You do need to be attentive and work them in properly during the break-in period, as they can be a little loose during that break-in. If you do break them in properly you will have a better chance of being a satisfied Customer, this is true with just about ANY tire. I suspect some of the complaints around these either do not understand that break-in approach and/or received poor advice - or no advice at all, from their Installers. As far as gas mileage and road noise comments go I would disregard those as the performance and safety of these tires far exceed any inconvenience in those areas, I've had dozens of different tires on similar vehicles and these are neither loud nor inefficient gas-wise, long-term. I gained back my MPG and then some with these compared to multiple other brands. My only complaint of sorts would be the tire/tread life, where I have just over 20k on a pair of CrossClimate+ after approximately 2 years. That is very low mileage-wise, however,, they have been great through everything nature has thrown at them and even though they have 3-4/32nd left out of the 9/32nds when new, I'm replacing them early for safety concerns instead of trying to squeeze another season or three out of them, which I probably could, but better safe than sorry. My family drives these cars daily and I'm more comfortable with them having more tread. I am expecting more life out of the CrossClimate2 with 10/32nds new... I will likely post a separate performance-centric review for the CrossClimate2 experience on the Lexus, as I only have a few hundred miles on that vehicle, but so far the results exceed expectations, providing a very stable and consistent ride, better than any of the other tires I've ever had on that Lexus. If anything the tires amplify the driving experience on my vehicles and sometimes that means revealing suspension issues and other inconsistencies in their feedback, the type of precise feedback that less dynamic and responsive tires do not provide. This is another likely limitation of understanding on the part of some CrossClimate Owners.
