Good, but loss of fuel efficiency

I bought these tires for my 2013 Camry Hybrid because I was tired of switching tires every season. I have lost about 20% in mpg since putting these on

Hazelchef58, thanks you for providing your feedback about your experience with CrossClimate2 tires. New tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires. As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases. Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve.

Quietest tire ever.

I purchased the Cross Climate 2 tires a couple of months ago. I installed them almost as soon as I got them. The tread looks like it can be an aggressive pattern, but on the highway the car is as quiet as can be. Turning is responsive as well in dry conditions. Living around the Poconos, there are many twisty roads. I can't wait to see what these tires can do in the snow. That was a major reason for the purchase.

Great tires, no worries, but no snow yet

I put these on a Subaru Forester in anticipation of winter snows and mountain driving. Replaced Vrdestein that had excellent traction but poor tread life. Compare to those, the Crossclimates roll smoother, are far quieter, and if it matters, are better looking. They handle road bumps well and felt very stable in heavy rain. No snow yet so I can't say if they live up to their reputation for great snow traction.

Especially great in rain!

I hesitated due to the cost, but purchased them for winter use on the store recommendation. They are simply awesome in the rain; turning, stopping... After having them on my last vehicle (MB E500 wagon) , I plan on buying them again for my current car (MB GLK350) as soon as I need tires.

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.

The perfect tire for the majority of northern drivers.

It's hard to imagine a better 'daily driver' tire for anyone living in an area that gets snow. Why keep two sets of tires when you can have one set that performs beautifully in all conditions? I bought these in winter and was astounded by how well they gripped in 6 inch snow, slush, and over broken ice. I went out of my way to find backroads that had not been plowed and the car gripped like a snow leopard. Grip and confidence in the rain is just as good. Having these All Weather tires installed and not having to worry about being caught out in a snow storm before you've swapped to your winter tires is a very nice feeling. The only drawback I see to these CrossClimates is that they are not a substitute for high performance summer tires. You lose some 'feel' and outright performance in the dry. Only an issue for sports cars and probably not applicable for anyone considering these tires anyway, just worth mentioning. Oh, and they look really cool on the car. That's always important. Enjoy!

Best winter tire I never owned.

Incredible amounts of snow traction. Initially a bit rough when you buy them, but after about 500 miles or so they feel just fine. We got some heavy snow here and I took them up several steep hills in a FWD Passat, zero issues. incredible stopping distance When you need to come to a stop on snow and ice. They are a bit pricey but consider this, its half the cost of owning a pair of all season and winter tires. I am sold for life.

Great Product

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.

Amazing tires

I had Michelin Defenders for my Honda Ridgeline '17 (bought in Oct 22) they too were smooth and as I spend most of my time on the highway, they lasted a while. Now got the new Cross Climate 2 and I was impressed !! The tires are amazing, quiet, smooth and the truck handles a lot better. I would highly recommend them.

Love the feel of the ride.

Love the feel of the ride. Haven’t had them long enough to know how they do in bad weather. I was somewhat hesitant to buy them because the set of Michelins that came on my car only lasted 36,000 miles. These tires have a longer warranty. I don’t know if new cars come with a lower quality tire or not. A friend of mine had to replace his Michelin tires at 39,000 miles. Hoping for the best!
