The ultimate in Durability and tread life

My wife and I have put three quarters of a million miles on Michelin tires over the last ten years and they have been by far the best when it comes to durability and tread life. We have had sets of Goodyear that don’t get half the same miles on them and have had durability and wear issues. I have used the ltx m/s2s and now the defender ltx m/s and my wife is now using the crossclimates. The grip and control on her tires is excellent and my m/s2s got 100k miles on all of them.

Exceeded Expectations

This tire has exceeded my expectations. I've only purchased Michelin tires (except once) for my vehicles. As recently as a month before I bought these actually. I wish I would have decided on these for my other purchase. They are good but nothing like these. If you are looking for a true multi weather (not season) tire the CrossClimate2 is truly amazing. This winter was a great test bed for this review. We've had 8+ in snow falls, sleet, ice, rain, and nice weather so far and I can't say enough about how well this tire handles the elements. Really amazing in rain. I don't want to say that I speed but I will say that I'm not sure at what speed you could get these tires to hydroplane. I couldn't get them to. I don't hear any road noise at high speed and was impressed with the snow and ice capabilities too. These are great if you live in an area where you truly have all types of weather each year. When it's time to replace the factory Michelin's on my wife's car, this will be my choice. No more research needed. The price tag is well worth it. When you cost justify what you feel is expensive you have to keep in mind that you will rely on your tires for years. You should always want a high quality tire under you.

I love my tires ... especially since we recently had ice and snow for a week or so. I had no trouble driving in these conditions. However, I haven't received my rebate yet ...even though I bought the tires around the 9th of November and sent in info for rebate.

Zoom Zoom is back!!

Was told during car inspection that I needed new tires. During my online search I compared multiple brands, I was intrigued with the tread pattern. I’m so happy with these tires as they have brought back my smooth ride positive grip on acceleration and braking. As I told my son the CrossClimate2 tires have brought back the Zoom Zoom experience in my Mazda.

Traction is amazing!

OMG...these tires walk through snow like you wouldn't believe. I put them through the test, going through snow drifts, up the driveway...even at a snail's pace & couldn't get stuck. The car didn't slide a bit. We had several inches (10"?) on the ground. My car didn't hesitate. It's amazing..this is nice!

Not Enough time to evaluate

I bought the Cross Climate 2's based on The Tire Rack and Subaru Owners Forums opinions. Most owners of The Subaru Outback replaced their OEM tires with The Cross Climate 2's. I am disappointed that Michelin refuses to offer the updated Cross Climate 3's in the US and we are stuck with the "old" design Cross Climate 2's. I have not driven a great deal over the last three months , perhaps a total of one thousand miles. In my mind it is difficult to give a proper evaluation. My expectations of the tire are better long term durability, adhesion, braking, traction and road noise. So far I have not experienced anything to demonstrate the Cross Climate 2 exceeds the performance of The Vredestein Quatrac 5 that were mounted on my car previously. We shall see.

Love The Tires

We are very happy with the new tires. The tread pattern is great and gives up good traction in the vast amounts of snow we have been getting. They give a good feeling of security in driving this winter. They are just a bit noisy, but it could be because they are new.

Oh ya!

I put the climate 2 tires on my wife's nissan kicks because it's a smaller suv I wanted tires that had good winter and summer traction. The tires run smooth on the car and my wife is very pleased with the winter traction she has gotten so far. As they say you get what you pay for and I think we did.

CrossClimate 2 tires make rain and snow fun !!!

We have two Subarus ... a 2015 Forester and a 2019 Outback. I put CrossClimate 2 tires on the Forester a couple years ago and Indiana had mild winters with little snow so I was disappointed that I never really got to test my new tires in deep snow. They are fine in the rain and spring, summer, and fall. This fall I put CrossClimate 2 tires on my newer Outback and we were pleased from the start with the smooth, quiet ride. Recently Indiana was hit with 14 inches of snow and sun zero temperatures. Going out the 100 foot gravel rural lane to the road was a piece of cake. The next morning the lane had drifted in with more snow, up to two feet in places. The Outback with Subaru's all wheel drive and X mode and new CrossClimate 2 tires thought it was a tank or bulldozer 😂.

Great Product Overall

I replaced my tires on my Kia Telluride as it was time for new tires. This was the best decision to go with these tires. For the rainy season, I never ever feel like my vehicle ever skips or hydroplanes. These tires cut through the water and the track marks where water sits. During the recent winter storm, these tires have worked really well in snow, sleet, and ice, and my Telluride is not AWD. With all the different weather, my kids even notice that the vehicle never changes traction. I have not had any issues with braking in icy or wet conditions. So far, they still look good. I hope they continue to last. Note: I am not a person that writes a lot of reviews; however, I feel like this is a great product.
