Don’t disregard the reviews on poor MPG

I’ve been a Michelin tire fan, but have buyers remorse on this set. I was pointed to these tires as being excellent, they do great in the rain but otherwise I haven’t felt that they provide superior performance and they must have a great deal of rolling resistance because I’m experiencing a reduction of 3 mpg with my Q5. Very disappointing.

Ed in VA, thanks for taking the time to submit a review. We're sorry to read that you are unhappy with the mpg you are getting with the Cross Climate2. 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. As a last resort, remember as part of the Michelin Promise Plan, our tires have a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. Simply return to the selling retailer for the tires to be swapped out.

Luxury ride

I wanted to replace OEM tires on Lexus RX350 within first week but decided to wait on CrossClimate2 to become available. It was worth the wait, Lexus now rides like a luxury vehicle. Ride is much smoother and quieter and overall more solid feel when making left/right turns. Handles very well and provides confident feeling on very wet roads, expect the same in the winter. Great tire!

Smooth and Quiet

After six months on a mid-size SUV, the tires are smooth, quiet, while retaining good handling and winter traction performance. The only drawback is rolling resistance seems higher than OEM tires. Rolling resistance affects gas mileage, but the impact is unknown.

Noisiest tires Ever

Bought these tires for 2013 Prius. Get more rain than snow now in the northeast so thought I would give them a try. Worse decision ever. Now I have been buying Michelin tires for a long time, but these are so noisy. I thought I had a muffler problem then realized it was the tires. Sounds like I’m riding in a tank. As far a driving preferred the pilot sport. Would not recommend for a Prius.

Awesome Handling and Performance

Had these installed on our 2014 VW Passat TDI and got to test them on the highway in a torrential downpour for many miles. VERY impressed. No hydroplaning whatsoever and they felt very surefooted. Was concerned that the tread pattern might be a little noisy in the cabin of the car but not the case at all. At this point, I would buy Michelin Crossclimate 2s again. Will see how they stand up durability wise as the miles/kms increase.

Excellent tire

We bought our first set of these approximately 3.5 years ago. We have been thrilled with them. They provide great traction, they are not noisy, and the tread has worn very well. Unfortunately, the tread separated on 3 of the 4 of them recently. They had 33,000 miles on them. The tread was only half worn so we received 50% towards the purchase of another set. Still very pleased with the tires. Hopefully these ones won't separate.

Excellent wet road handling and dry road comfort

Bought these last fall for my 2017 XT5. The tires perform well in all conditions, very quiet under all highway conditions, concrete and asphalt. Looking for a second set for another of my cars. I rotate every 10k miles, the first rotation highlighted no noticeable wear pattern. Way to go Michelin…….

Ride with confidence

I replaced my Michelin Primacys to give these a try. I live in upstate New York where we get harsh winters. So far I am satisfied, I feel more confident on the road, however a little more road noise and slight steering wheel feel which is expected with such an aggressive thread. I believe these tires are second to none when it comes to an all season tire with the snow factor included.

The only tire I trust for my family

Review of the CrossClimate 2 tires. They have impressive versatility, performance, and reliability across multiple family vehicles. Below are my key takeaways: 1. All-Weather Performance: The CrossClimate 2 tires’ certification for hybrid and snow performance makes them a solid choice for year-round use, especially for those who would otherwise need to switch between seasonal tires. 2. Reliable Grip: These tires excel in providing firm traction, with no hydroplaning issues even in heavy rain, and they handle snowy conditions well—though for those in extremely snowy regions, dedicated snow tires might still be a better option. 3. Improved Ride Quality: Compared to OEM tires, the CrossClimate 2 provides a smoother and more controlled ride. They also offer aggressive cornering capabilities without sacrificing comfort, and they are not noisy at all. 4. Versatile Across Vehicles: They’ve performed reliably on a Lexus RX450h, Honda Passport Sport, and Mercury Milan, showing that these tires adapt well to our different vehicle types. 5. Fuel Efficiency Boost: Running the tires 3-5 psi above the manufacturer’s recommendation has improved my fuel economy, a helpful tip for hybrid drivers in particular. The CrossClimate 2 tires are a premium, dependable tire that inspires safety and confidence for year-round use while providing peace of mind for the safety-conscious drivers. The only tire I trust for my family.

Perfect All Season Tires, Especially in Rain and Snow!

I've been driving on these tires for 12,000 miles. These tires work extremely well in heavy rain with no hydroplaning at all. Barley can get these tires to break free under heavy acceleration. Tried them out in 6 inches of snow, they worked extremely well for an AS tire. Great acceleration and braking traction. Tracked very straight when at speed. In the dry, they feel like a Performance Summer tire. They are a little noisy in the first 3000 miles, now they sound great. I recommend these tires to all my friends and family. I have been using Bridgestone 980 AS, for 3 sets, and these are far better. Used on a 2019 Hyundai Elantra Sport FWD.
