Winter performance that rivals dedicated winter tires yet has summer performance.

Love these tires. Living ion the west coast of Canada the snowflake means they can stay on all year. Running now on both vehicles because I was tired of swapping out tires. But… on the Tesla I would like an option for the noise foam inclusion or a tech to tell me why it is not just default on all tires??

Love Them So Far

I bought a set of the Michelin Cross Climate 2 Luxury Performance Touring Tires, size 235/55R18 100H BSW for my Toyota RAV4. They have a 60,000 mile warranty. I've put just over 3,500 miles on these tires, but I'm love them so far. They are much smoother and a quieter ride than my previous tires. Love them so far!

Not quiet

Just got these yesterday. The ride quality is very good. Stopping, quick lane changes, curved entrance and exit ramps all good. However there is a rumbly sound. Its is evident at low speed like in a parking lot or neighborhood or at interstate speeds it gets more noticable as you go faster.

Great wet weather handling

I bought these tires 4 mths ago. I live in south Florida and have had to drive thru wet roads with lots of traffic. They stop extremely well with no aquaplaning on my Toyota highlander. Noise is not overly loud. I have put 4,500 miles on the tires so far. I am very happy with the purchase.

Great tires for all weather conditions

I purchased a set of these tires for my Santa Fe in April 2022 in preparation for a cross-country road trip. I immediately experienced a MUCH quieter ride. On the trip itself I encountered a wide range of weather conditions: hot and windy, light rain and heavy rain, and snow/ice. These tires handled it all with aplomb. Another reviewer mentioned a decrease in mpg with these tires, and that may be the case, albeit only a slight decrease in my case. For me, the improved footing over a wider range of weather conditions is worth it.

Perfect Review (Tesla Model 3)

I was a little nervous to buy these because Tesla recommends putting the same tires that came with the car. After doing lots of research and taking feedback from other users on the site from current Tesla owners, plus the tire shop I got these from, I decided to go with these tires. As far as road noise and the complaints, I’m confused because if anything I am finding these tires are quieter than the OEM ones that came from Continental. These also look great. Have not driven in the rain or snow yet but my biggest concern was road noise and I can assure you that is a non-issue if anything these might be slightly quieter.

High returns for high cost.

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.

Lower MPG

I was averaging 40 to 41 miles per gallon in my RAV4 hybrid Limited with the OEM tires. I just installed a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. These handle better than the OEM and are more surefooted on mountain roads. I read other CrossClimate2 owners were getting lower mpg so I raised the inflation 4 psi over the recommended pressure to see if that would help. Even with the higher pressure I’m now consistently averaging 34.5 MPG. 15% lower. EV’s and hybrid’s get a triple hit from high rolling resistance tires like the CrossClimate 2. First when running on gas only, Second from faster battery drain while using battery power only and a third from a loss in regeneration to recharge the battery when coasting or braking.

jbassoc, you make some good points, also 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. In addition, there is also the Michelin Promise Plan that offers a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your new set of Michelin tires, just return to the selling retailer to exchange them for a new set of equal or lesser value.

Great Tire

Currently buying our third set of CrossClimate 2's. Cannot say enough good things about this tire. My wife puts 35K-40K miles a year. These tires hold up to all those miles and wear perfectly. She drives in all condition in the Mid Atlantic, and always says how safe she feels with these tires, no matter the driving conditions. Snow, ice, rain, and everything in between, these tires are fantastic! Currently have second set on our 2018 VW Atlas and our first set on 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid.

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.
