I’m using Michelin CrossClimate 2 in size 235/65 R17 on an Audi Q5 quattro (SUV). Overall, the tire performs very well in dry conditions and also handles regular rain without any issues. For everyday driving on wet or dry asphalt, the stability and comfort are good. However, the tire shows serious limitations as soon as there is wet snow or slush on the road, especially around +2°C. Braking performance becomes very weak, and the car tends to slide forward even at low speeds, around 15–30 km/h. In these conditions, the tire simply cannot provide sufficient grip, and stopping distances become dangerously long. Because of this, I was forced to purchase a new set of proper winter tires, as continuing to drive with the CrossClimate 2 in these conditions poses a real risk of an accident and serious danger. A similar issue appears when the road is only slightly damp after light rain during colder autumn/winter days — braking and stopping distances noticeably increase, even when driving slowly. Conclusion: Excellent tire for dry, wet, and mild winter conditions, but not reliable in slush, wet snow, or low temperatures. If you live in an area where wet snow is common, this tire may not be a safe choice during winter.

Michelin has always been my go to tires, but I am getting a bit frustrated with its thread life. Put on Premier LTX before the Cross Climate 2. While the Premier LTX lasted only lasted 36,718 miles instead of the promised 60,000 miles in nearly three years of use, the Cross Climate 2 only saw 30,000 miles before the dealer refused to service them. After switching to the more expensive Cross Climate 2 with deeper threads, I thought I would get longer life but alas, here we are after only 30,000 miles of use and threads are already below 2/32" according to the dealer. While the tires are good otherwise, thread life of 30000 for tires with a promise of 60000 miles is simply not acceptable. Basically crapping out at half the warranty distance in less than 20 months (1 year - 8 months) of us. Micheline essentially replaced their discontinued Premier line with a less durable product and reduced the warranty distance so they do not have to cover warranty

This is my second set of Cross Climate 2's. Michelin offers great value and stands behind their brand. Some say they are too pricey, but i disagree. Michelin is the only tire company that offers 150 miles of FREE Towing, gasoline if you run out and 60000 mile tread wear guarantee. Good in USA and Canada.

Just had them installed, wow what a difference from previous tires. Very smooth, quiet and definitely a handle ing improvement as well. Can’t wait to drive them in snow or rain but expect the same. Only issue is trying to get them registered for the Michelin Promise Plan (like my other Michelin purchase a couple years ago) as dealer did not do it?

These tires really grab the pavement when you need control. My first set of CrossClimate2 tires saved me from hitting the car in front of me when I was hit in the back bt a distracted driver. These CrossClimat32 tires handle great 8n wintry weather too. Best tires in the 60 years I've been driving.

I recently switched to the Michelin CrossClimate 2, and I'm very impressed with the performance. These tires handle exceptionally well in both dry and wet conditions, and they're surprisingly quiet and smooth on the highway. I've also driven through light snow, and the grip and stability were excellent — perfect for Canadian weather that changes quickly. The tread design gives great confidence on corners and braking, and I noticed better fuel efficiency compared to my previous set. It's a perfect all-season tire for anyone who wants year-round safety without constantly swapping between winter and summer tires. Definitely worth the investment!

I purchased these tires approximately one month ago. Did a some local driving around town and found the handling to be good and the overall comfort and noise level to be acceptable. This past week I did a long distance trip from NY to MI and back that was uneventful with clear driving going, and light snow and rain on the return trip. I would say the tires performed as expected for the entire trip. No surprises, that enabled driver confidence.

I was very, very happy to get my new tires. They are truly excellent. They were a bit noisy at first, but after about 1000 km they lost their road noise. The handling is wonderful, and I feel comforted that they will give me the traction I need especially during winter, when icy roads surprise us. I put them on my Dodge grand Caravan that has been converted to carry a heavy power chair. Previous tires of worn unevenly and I have a feeling that these new tires will have the durability I require.

Traction improvement 100% over my old no name tires. Winter weather has just started in my area and I'm looking forward to seeing how these tires respond on wet, icy pavement. So far, so good. Got really tired of the slipping and sliding so I flashed out for the good stuff even for my old beater. If you can only afford one improvement - get good tires. I saw reviews saying these tires were noisy. They are not. I can feel them gripping the road and it feels good. They grip so hard sometimes I hear them whine when stopping. Good tires

Crossclimate2 were just installed 3 days ago and so far, they ride soft not noisy and road hugging filling! P.S my daughter has a pair, and she is very satisfied! That is the reason why I got mine also eliminates the season changes! I believe that most insurance accepts them because of a snowflake symbol on the tire!
