I had to purchase new tires for my Nissan Leaf EV, I decided to go with the New Cross Climate II tire..Most of the reviews were positive. They are a smooth riding tire with very little road noise. Great traction. Great handling. very please with the ride..

I really dislike these tires. After putting about 2000 miles on them, I've lost about 10% fuel economy (from MXM4). They also transmit a noticeable vibration through the steering wheel, most prevalent on smooth pavement. Finally, I don't feel confident in their lateral grip when pushed a little. The only positive I can come up with is I am surprised at the low noise level considering the lousy road feel. Hopefully they'll redeem themselves in snowy conditions. I definitely would have gone with the MXM4 again (4 stars, winter grip a little wanting) but they were not available when I needed tires (nor are they available now to take advantage of the satisfaction guarantee).

I travelled yesterday in one of my most adventurous drives along the snowstorm direction from Chicago to Detroit. I94 was a combination of slosh pit and fresh accumulated snow at various stretches. Michigan roads were bad to start with. But this tire (and some driving skills, well tire mainly) kept me going at 65 to 70 MPH in that snow and gave me a lot of confidence to drive over. As some users have noted can't speak of its performance well into its life but these were installed 2 months ago and had very less mileage on them as of writing this review. If you hit a heap of snow as in when changing lanes though - because of the way the tire is grooved to let a lot of rain and snow flow outwards you will see a significant slowdown than other tires. It is good if you are in control and have no vehicle around but bad if you are in a traffic. Just the driver has to account for this change in performance style compared to other tires (Ex: Michelin Defender). Another major downside of this tire is on grooved roads - it becomes wobbly thanks to the non continuous contact patch type tread design but isnt dangerous in anyway. Same goes for snow. And despite that wobbliness, cornering in this is a hoot. If these downsides don't bother you, this tire is brilliant and the tread design aesthetic gets full points from me.

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!

I’ve had my tires for a couple months and have put about 3,000 miles on them. I find they are quiet, have great grip and corner well. The only downside is they have reduced my Fusion hybrid’s mpg about 5%. Guess that’s the tradeoff for the good traction.

The jury is still out on this tire. Fantastic job in the snow and winter! However, in the summer, it is a hard riding tire. I feel every bump in the road. I'll go through the summer months with it but next year I'll probably find another to put on my car. My car is a 2020 Lexus RX350

Had these installed on a 2015 Civic. They replaced Nokian WR G3s that wore out before 30,000 miles. Had the Cross Climate 2s on until it was time to trade in the car another 30,000 miles later. They still had more than half their tread left. They were also much better in the snow than the Nokians. I actually couldn't wait for snow just because it was so much fun to drive in it. Felt very solid and safe in all weather conditions. This fall I will be replacing the OEM tires with another set of Michelin CC 2s it will be money well spent.

I purchased the CrossClimate2 tires for my 12 yr. old Subaru Outback [just 86k] two months ago. I am enjoying the ride! These tires provide such a sure footed smooth ride in both dry and wet conditions. I am looking forward to their performance this winter in upstate NY.

Very very smooth and confident control on ice, snow and especially salty slush. Going on three years with this set on Sienna van. Stopping and starting on snow is perfect with my all wheel drive. High speed, 120 Kph is very smooth and quiet. This should be called Cross Climate Super Tire. Worth the higher price.

Wanting to get away from the noisy Continentals that came with my VW Passat GT, I found the CrossClimate 2 would provide the quiet, safe, and wet ratings that I needed. I only changed two before my road trip (NC to Texas end of Aug 2021) and immediately noticed reduce noise and had better handling. In New Orleans, I was there just as the hurricane was coming bringing in heavy rain. The CrossClimate 2 handled great even in heavy downpours. Last week, I picked up two more tires.. Wow! the mechanical resonance from replacing the two continentals dropped the road noise another 10 decibels and the handling only got better. I can't stop saying great things about these tires. Have been telling all my friends this is the next tire they should get.
