Very good thus far. Always preferred straight-grooved tires due to past experience with cupping and excessive noise on V shaped thread patterns. Only thing audible is a very gentle hum at very slow speeds. Most people will never notice and it is only perceptible because electric car. Really outstanding wet and wet snow traction.

Put a set on my wife's Kia Sorento in July - its now February and these tires have been through +40 to - 40 temperatures, heavy rain, heavy snow, freezing rain, mud, gravel roads, highway and city use. They are quiet, on highway and provide great handling in all conditions. I've been particularly impressed how they performed on ice and snow when it was - 42c here. I am now a firm believer in the capabilities of an all weather tire now (well, the cross climates anyway!)

I bought a set for my Chevy Impala back in August. 10th generation Impala’s are quiet as is but this tire made it even more. Recently with living in Wisconsin we have had a mix of snow and rain making slush mess. This tire made driving in it like it wasn’t even there. I was bit skeptical when first purchasing these and with the somewhat higher price compared to other options but I am now sold. Well worth the price for noise reduction and handling of winter weather. Would recommend to anyone who lives in Midwest who truly deal with all seasons of weather sometimes even in one day.

Third car I have switched to CC2s instead of having 2 sets of tires for each car. Although arguably not as good as dedicated snow tires in deep snow, these tires have superior wet/slush traction. Resist hydroplaning better than any tire I've used in 35+ years of driving. If the snow is "too deep" for these, maybe you should have stayed home. Super quiet, smooth, and fuel mileage is on par with "2 season" tires. Better fuel mileage than dedicated snows. Only down side is they tend to pick up/hold a lot of stones in the tread. You'll want some stone protection on any exposed metal body parts directly behind the wheels.

I purchased these to put on my Audi A6 Quattro to replace the stock Continental tires. There definitely is a difference in ride quality and very "grippy", but then again I will say that is probably true of any new set of tires. I've only put about 100 miles on them, mostly highway and residential roads. No rain and no snow yet, so I cannot confirm the claims of performance yet. All dry and speeds ranging from 0 to 75 mph. The ride is smooth, but not as smooth as the Continental but I expected such for such an aggressive tire tread. The one thing that I can say is that these are a little louder on the highway then what I was hoping for hence 4 stars. I thought the accoustic technology would have made them really quiet, but guess not. Maybe after the tread wears down some, they will become more quiet. The other thing I will say is that the tires sometimes go where the grooves in the road go, so you have to be on your toes. Will report back after the snowy season.

We purchased Cross Climate 2s for our 2014 Equinox late winter/early spring 2024. We have driven in snow, ice, heavy rain, high outside temperatures and the Cross Climate 2s performed exceptionally well. They are expensive but well worth the cost as they provide exceptional service in all weather conditions, exceptional durability and peace of mind driving. They replaced Latitude Tours which also gave exceptional service. We are quite pleased with our tire purchases.

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.

I have a 2019 Chevy Blazer. Bought these tires at the start of the Winter and could not be happier. We had record snowfall totals for the Winter her in MN and the tires performed exceedingly well! Great control and amazing stopping power! I saw no perceptible change in gas mileage. Just got back from a 4,000 mile road trip and mileage on the highway was just as good if not better than when I had the factory installed tires.

Finally, one tire that does it all. North Central Connecticut, two winters now haven’t had to worry about them. Haven’t had to buy two sets of tires. Slightly more noise, but nothing bothersome. These are on a 2015 Accord LX. These are basically set it and forget it tires. Wet, dry, snow, predictable everywhere.

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.
