One of the best tires I've had on multiple vehicles!

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.

Lot's of punctures and non-repairable flats. These tires pick up and hold metal.

I originally bought four for a Honda CRV in August 2022. Since then I've lost three tires to non-replaceable punctures and had five repairable punctures. Driving is on main thoroughfares and suburban streets (no construction in my area). I drive the same areas with my pickup and have no problems. These tires seem to pick up and hold every piece of metal they come across. Having just lost my third tire, I replaced them with something else.

Best Tire Ever

I bought 4 CrossClimate2 tires for my wife's PT Cruiser, and liked them so much, I put a set of 4 on my Town & Country. The first thing I noticed was, they are quiet! The handling is very responsive with a good road feel, and stopping distance is very good. I'm anxious to see how they perform in Pennsylvania snows.

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!

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.

Wonderful Tire

Best tire I ever bought. I know I just put them on, but my immediate reaction was wow! These tires are so soft and quiet, it's hard to believe you're traveling at freeway speed. There is no road noise. The ride is like driving on a road of cotton. I read reviews ad nauseam. I kept going back and forth between the CrossClimate SUV, CrossClimate2, and the Primacy MXM4. I believe I made the right choice. Time will tell how well these wear and how smooth and quiet they remain, but initially, these are great tires.

Another great Michelin tire

I purchased the CrossClimate2 tires for my 12 yr. old Subaru Outback [just 86k] two months ago. I am enjoying the ride! These tires provide such a sure footed smooth ride in both dry and wet conditions. I am looking forward to their performance this winter in upstate NY.

Excellent Tire for all seasons

Bought a set in November 2019 for my 2015 x-trail. Replaced the standard dimensions with 215/60//16XL. Use the vehicle for 90% city and 10% hgwy. Excellent on dry and wet pavement. No Hydroplaning. Handles 10ins of snow in 4-wheel drive. Great on icy road at temps as low as -15C . Very quiet and comfortable tires. Will buy for my Terrain.

Michelins For the Win(ter)

Bought CC2 to replace OEM tires on Subaru Outback after dealer tried to sell different brand with MAJOR markup. Traction (particularly in snow and ice on slopes) and road noise are dramatically better with these tires! Definitely worth slight cost increase, and would buy another set without reservation.
