Very well, made tire handles good but my only chief complaint that is a dealbreaker for me. Is the tires get really loud after about 20 or 30,000 miles I’m ready to take them off. I’ve got them on a Lexus and it sounds like I’m driving a truck with mud tires and I do keep it aligned in the tires balance.

Great handling and performance

I bought these tires about 3000km ago and have been driving mainly in summer conditions. We recently got some wet slushy snow with ice conditions. Performance in both was impressive. Summer was a smooth and quiet ride. Great handling. For the snowy and slushy conditions, they had no problem handling the slush and snow. I tried to spin out, drove through a couple of snowbanks, and went up some pretty steep inclines, but they really handled well. No loss of traction and solid performance.

Phenomenal Tire

After a lot of research and talking to a lot of different sales people at tire shops about what tire to buy I decided to go with this tire. I live in Ohio and work about 50 miles away from home. These went on an AWD Honda CR-V and have performed wonderfully. My fuel economy improved from the low quality tires that were on it when I got it, rain traction is marginally better, the ride quality and noise level are the best I've ever had and snow traction over the past Ohio winter was outstanding. Under a level 3 when I am required to get to work I had no issues confidentially and safely getting to and from work. Great fuel economy, even being a brand new tire. Couldn't of picked a better tire, and will definitely be buying another set!

Smoothest ride Ive ever had in an SUV

Bought these about six weeks ago. At the time I asked the salesman for the smoothest riding tire on the road and he suggested the Michelin CrossClimate 2. I couldn’t believe the difference they have made on my SUV. It rides more like a car than a truck. I am thrilled with these new tires

ANAZING tires

I've had the CrossClimate2's on my 2019 RDX Advance for four days, a few hundred miles, and here are my initial impressions: *Car drives and rides better than it ever has *Got caught in a drenching downpour and never felt so secure *Quieter than any tires I've ever owned Should be a good winter tire for us in Maine.

Great ride! Low Noise!

Second set I’ve purchased. First set still performs very well after three years and 50k miles on a Highlander. This set replaced Bridgestones which came new on the RX350. Those were noisy and did not ride well from day one. These CrossClimates are amazing and made the vehicle ride and sound sooo much better.

Used to be better

this is my second pair of these tires. The first ones i loved sooo much. This pair, quite difficult. At first i thought they had a balancing issue, so i brought them back to be re-balanced. They still make my seats shake whike im driving. And the noise, they're quite noisy. I dont know what happened. Maybe they were in a rush on production day, but this pair made me hate these tires. As far as durability, i think thats the best part i cant complain about and the traction is good all over. But at the cost of wobbly seats and a very loud ride.

Great tires. Wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.

I bought these two months ago and have a couple thousand miles on them. They are far superior to the OEM Pirellis as you don't feel every bump in the road and are much quieter. In addition, the traction has been excellent on wet and dry pavement. Initially, I looked at these, and another brand, and the retailer told me to get these "hands down." He was 100% correct.

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.
