Bought a few weeks ago based on recommendations for winter weather handling. Last 4 inch snow, temperatures around 0F where roads tend to not be as slick - sliding on a low speed curve. Kicked sideways by 6-8 inch drifts elsewhere. I'd rate winter traction as poor.

I bought these tires Mar 30 2021 .My first set of directional tires and not impressed.I immediately noticed a vibration.Decided to give them a week ,since there were new.They rebalanced and drove them another week before going back to bell tire. These tires on average 3- 5oz of weights which is a lot. The longest measurement of weight was 5 inches.So this is my 3 rd trip back and this time they a ( road force test) ,something I haven't heard of.This machine manipulates the sidewall of the tire, then rebalance.They end up with about the same amount of weights.So I leave and they did this procedure one more . Was told they are, whats considered acceptable limits with minimum vibration.So they are ok for now, I quess. My old worn out pilots were nice to the end .At the first rebalance they told me its probably my rims are bent. They had gotton the tires all mixed up and tried to put the tires on the wrong side of car.I had marked the arrows with white paint so this wouldn't happen.Have to rethink staying with Michelin next time.

Was on the fence about purchasing primary winter tires, but the CrossClimate2s solved the concern about the seasonal changing from snow to "regular". Oddly, since I bought them, we winters have been far less severe. On the occasions when there was a snowfall, there was not too much accumulation, so have not had the chance to see how they would fare in deep snow. But they are far superior to all-seasons in terms of traction in slush and partially-frozen pavement. Definite recommendation

We have had one full cold winter and one full hot summer on these tires. Winter performance better than most winter tires. Summer performance better than most summer tires. Great grip on ice and snow, even in Canadian winter; low rolling resistance in summer, excellent on wet roads, quiet and responsive. Minimal wear after 15,000 km. We are no longer switching tires rwice a year. This is a dream of an all-season tire!

Excellent grip (accelerating and braking) and ride in all conditions. First road trip MN->SD this past summer was a pleasure on both dry and wet roads. Recently had a 20” snowfall this winter and again was very pleased with all aspects of the tires.

I purchased the CrossClimat SUV,s for my Tesla Model X and was blown away at how awesome the tires performed in a snow storm last Spring. My wife purchased a Tesla model S and noticed she didn't have the same surefooted feeling that she had with my Model X in the snow. Last month I decided to buy the CrossClimate 2's for the Model S and could hardly believe how much better they are than my tires. By better I mean they are much quieter than the CrossClimate SUV,s and they feel like they roll with less effort as well. I like these tires so much I'm going to change from having wider tires and wheels on the rear to the same size as the front so that I can run the CrossClimate 2,s on my Model X as well.

A smooth ride on my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek

Better ride, less noise. Just installed today hoping traction and braking are the same.

BEST all weather tires I have ever had

Great traction on ice and snow. Possibly the best “all season” tire for the northern climate.
