When I bought my SUV, first thing I did is go to my tire shop for Michelin tires. I wanted Defenders which I have and love on my truck, but they didn’t come in my new SUV’s size. As we’re in the Pacific Northwest, the shop suggested the Cross Climate 2. It’s been several years of great driving in rain, snow, on gravel roads, lots of mountain roads (where black ice can be unavoidable), and these tires never give me pause. I just brought my car in for the tires to be rotated at 40K mikes, and the shop said my tires have lots of wear left; plus the wear is nice and even. The only downside is that I’ve lost several mpg in fuel efficiency, but when I’m safely driving 4,000 ft mountain passes in driving rain or snow, that seems like a fair trade off.

Overall these are good tires and I am glad I bought them. First, even though they are “all weather” and usuable year round, I swap them out for dedicated winter tires, so I cannot comment on how they preform in severe winter conditions. However, soon after putting them on this spring (March 2024), we had a few cm’s of snow in the Toronto area. They handled this spring snowfall and resulting messy roads effortlessly. In normal commuter driving around the city and during one long distance highway trip I have taken, they have preformed very well in all aspects, steering, braking, accelerating and ride, whether it is sunny or wet, the road is perfect or bumpy. The one draw back is there is some tread growl. I drive a 2017 Mazda 3, which isn’t a whisper quite car, and the tread noise tends to blend in with the normal Mazda sound in a way that does not make it annoying. However if quiet running is a key priority for you, there are probably other tires that will better meet your needs.

Bought these in the fall for my 2018 Honda Odyssey. Night and day compared to the original Bridgestones. Excellent manners on the highway in both wet and dry and amazing traction in the snow. These were priced higher than the competition but well worth the money so far especially when you consider the expected treadlife. Great job designing these tires Michelin!

My husband bought the Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires because the salesman told him how many good reviews they had gotten from his customers. Boy was he right! I drove home in the pouring rain one night last week, and the car just drove right through the puddles on the road with no resistance! Wow! I give these tires an AAA+

Purchased 4 of these for my 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe All Track. The handling and stopping was noticeable as I left the dealer who sold me them and did the install. Great in the rain here in Florida. I did have an alignment check after install and there was no problem. I just wanted to be sure as these are premium tires to me and I want them to last. I get free balance and rotations for the life of the tire. I expect to keep them in great shape.

Was somewhat unsure how these tires were going to sound in real world use. I was pleasantly surprised. After nearly 1000 miles these are likely the quietist tires I've owned. I can't wait to see how they work out in the snow. They are terrific in wet weather.

...the price was better than my OEM's, which were balding with less than 30k miles and winter was coming! Granted these tires are much more appropriate for my Stinger vs our grandkid hauler; but the Hankook's had been too 'slippery' last winter....4-5 times turned around before even leaving neighborhood, switching to Grandma's Sportage. And last winter (in north central Ohio) was NOTHING like the one we've had so far!! Since replacing tires (w/CC2's) I've driven on roads bone-dry/sopping wet/mild flooding/ light sleet/mushy snow/1-2" fluffy snow/5-6" packed pre-plowed snow and we're getting ready to have rain melting away piles of curbside snow....these tires grip!!, do NOT slip!!! (All) traction situations have definitely been much better than Hankook OEM's when new and pleasantly more quiet, which did (truthfully) surprise me. Of course, 95% of my driving is on asphalt (same as Hankook's) and full disclosure, they are noticeably nosier on cement (crossing bridges/overpasses/etc). Bottom Line: Do I recommend these? You decide...I'll be putting them on my Stinger; told my daughter to get them for her Sorento; eldest grandson for his Focus RS Turbo.

I bought these for my 2011 Kia Sorento with 18" tires and they are amazing! Going through puddles and heavy water areas has less hydroplaning if any at all and the car doesn't slow down as much. The handling through turns in both wet and dry situations is awesome and I feel very secure in the handling of my vehicle as I always have if not more now. My only complaint is that they don't offer these in a 255/50-20 which is the size I need for my Ford Explorer XLT. I'm forced to buy a different tire. Hopefully they'll have a better range of sizes when i'm ready to replace those.

I have a 2019 Chevy Blazer. Bought these tires at the start of the Winter and could not be happier. We had record snowfall totals for the Winter her in MN and the tires performed exceedingly well! Great control and amazing stopping power! I saw no perceptible change in gas mileage. Just got back from a 4,000 mile road trip and mileage on the highway was just as good if not better than when I had the factory installed tires.

Bought these as a summer tire 2 years ago because of the ability to deal with heavy water on the road. But they are also quiet and handle well enough for what they are on , 2018 Tiguan. The wear is reasonable so far. .The all-season designation allows travel in fringe periods until I install the snows. However... If these are installed backwards they would become dangerous in rain or snow, forcing everything to the centre of the tire. I can understand those who say they are unstable , maybe noisy, ...perhaps running backwards.
