We have two Subarus ... a 2015 Forester and a 2019 Outback. I put CrossClimate 2 tires on the Forester a couple years ago and Indiana had mild winters with little snow so I was disappointed that I never really got to test my new tires in deep snow. They are fine in the rain and spring, summer, and fall. This fall I put CrossClimate 2 tires on my newer Outback and we were pleased from the start with the smooth, quiet ride. Recently Indiana was hit with 14 inches of snow and sun zero temperatures. Going out the 100 foot gravel rural lane to the road was a piece of cake. The next morning the lane had drifted in with more snow, up to two feet in places. The Outback with Subaru's all wheel drive and X mode and new CrossClimate 2 tires thought it was a tank or bulldozer 😂.

After nearly a year of use, I've started to notice that this tire is getting quite loud. In fact, I can feel the vibrations when I'm driving at speeds of 40-90 km/h. On a more positive note, the tire performed exceptionally well during its first winter. The traction was excellent on both snowy and icy roads. I'm curious to see how it will perform in its second winter.

We chose the CrossClimate2 tires because they were very highly rated by Consumer Reports where they highlighted the performance, traction and durability. We have now owned and driven on these tires for nine months and could not be happier with them. We get a lot of different weather with occasional very heavy rainfall and even snowfall over a foot at times. These tires perform extremely well in all occasions and we are particularly impressed with the traction of these tire in snow and heavy rainfall. In fact, when the factory tires have worn out on our new Honda Ridgeline truck, we will be replacing them with the CrossClimate2's.

We needed tires on our Acura RDX and picked The Cross climate 2. After 52k on them they were still barely worn 50 percent. They are incredible in the rain, slushy snow and deep snow. The only thing I can say negative is we got 2mpg with these tires. Our new RDX will get these again when it needs tires. Michelin needs to make this tread pattern for LT applications!

I bought the Cross Climate 2's based on The Tire Rack and Subaru Owners Forums opinions. Most owners of The Subaru Outback replaced their OEM tires with The Cross Climate 2's. I am disappointed that Michelin refuses to offer the updated Cross Climate 3's in the US and we are stuck with the "old" design Cross Climate 2's. I have not driven a great deal over the last three months , perhaps a total of one thousand miles. In my mind it is difficult to give a proper evaluation. My expectations of the tire are better long term durability, adhesion, braking, traction and road noise. So far I have not experienced anything to demonstrate the Cross Climate 2 exceeds the performance of The Vredestein Quatrac 5 that were mounted on my car previously. We shall see.

I put these tires on my 2023 Honda Pilot, and overall they’ve been impressive. Their all‑weather capability is excellent, and they’ve been especially strong in snow—confident traction, stable handling, and exactly the kind of winter performance I was hoping for. Road noise is also pleasantly low, even at highway speeds, which makes daily driving more comfortable. The one drawback has been fuel economy. I’m seeing about a 5‑MPG drop compared to my previous tires, which is a pretty significant difference. I’m hoping mileage improves once the weather warms up, but for now it’s definitely the trade‑off. Despite the hit to fuel efficiency, I’m happy with how these tires perform overall. If winter traction and quiet ride quality are your priorities, they deliver—just be prepared for a good noticeable dip in mileage.

OMG...these tires walk through snow like you wouldn't believe. I put them through the test, going through snow drifts, up the driveway...even at a snail's pace & couldn't get stuck. The car didn't slide a bit. We had several inches (10"?) on the ground. My car didn't hesitate. It's amazing..this is nice!

I just put on my second set of Cross Climate2's on my 2016 Outback. Besides the fact the Outback is just the best car for the mountains and snow, adding the Cross Climate's just adds that extra layer of reliability and safety. Traction is amazing in sow and rain! I would recommend these tires to anyone looking for a great all season tire!

I’ll never buy another type of tire again. Absolutely love these, I just swapped out my old, worn tires for these. When I left the shop, I couldn’t believe driving could feel as good as it does now. The braking feels safer, and I feel like I could drive in 2 feet of snow if I had to. So happy!

When I bought my car in 2019 I swapped the manufacturer's tires for the CrossCimate and put well over 80,000 km on them which included several trips to Florida. They were great tires but wore down so I replaced them with the CrossClimate 2. These tires are a big improvement over the original. Better handling in snow especially when making turns. They're expensive but worth it.
