Research, reviews and tests were mixed on the cross climate 2 but I bought them anyway. They are not the worst tires I have ever had but not anything like the Yokahama Parada Spec X I took off either. They are good in rain, haven’t driven in snow yet but they are rated high for snow but my issues with this tire is on dry tar. No changes to vehicle except new tires. The car wants to wonder now. It is difficult to keep it going straight at any speed. The car feels squishy on dry tar now. Doesn’t feel stable anymore. I don’t track my mileage but the car seems to drag now so I suspect the mileage decrease complaints are probably correct. The tires do make noise at times. Mainly on dry tar with the windows open and you are stepping on the gas. You must over inflate these tires to increase the stability. I run 40 psi in front for better steering but it helps only slightly and that may wear them out prematurely. The bottom line is that there are a lot of choices in tires no need to put up with the negatives of these 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.

I purchased these tires 1 year ago and was on my SUV during last winter in NL and acted perfectly in snow and slush. I drove a 450 km in high rain and heavy wind last week and these tires worked fabulously in the rain and road ruts. I think they are the best tires I ever owned in my 55 years driving.

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.

I bought a new Maverick pick-up in January; driving it felt dangerous with the tires provided; ordered a set of Cross Climate2. Driving on the same ice and snow, the grip felt almost like I was on dry pavement, the difference was like night and day. Only possible down side is that vehicles following me might slide into me since I can stop much more quickly than they can.

2016 MALIBU. Trying these for the first time. Only been a couple week. So far like the confident feel. In SW Tenn and don't get much snow, but like the control in heavy rain. Still figuring these tires out but like them so far. Maybe a little noise but not enough to cause concern. These tires seemed to balance well because I am please on the highway at speeds and no vibration. I know they are move for SUV's but they look pretty good on MAL.

Excellent traction and stopping power better than any others tires and I only buy Michelin tires. At first I wasn’t happy with the design because they are directional tires which means they can only be rotated front to back and back to front. The original tires only lasted less than 32,000 miles. I admit I could go further but I don’t take chances on the last 3/32” of tread left. I highly suggest these tires.

i like these tires, bought 4 yrs ago for my honda ridgeline. now at 60,00km and they are done. i would say ok in the snow but not great on ice. i mostly drive around toronto, am a conservative driver and very conscientious about service, they were rotated regularly as per warranty although i didn't fill out the forms, i don't see how they get to 100,000km ...

Tire are smooth and perform as advertised. I read complaints about mileage and noise. I HAVE DRIVEN a Jetta and Grand Caravan and found the tires to be quiet. My tires are 245x50x20 and they are noisy. The ribs on a larger size are further apart and this causes them to be noisier. As for mileage if you are going on a long trip put 4 PSi over recommended inflation and your mileage will be almost the same as before. Don't forget to adjust pressure when done with your trip.

Bought these late into a Michigan winter in mid February and they've so far handled the ice, snow, and slush as far as momentum goes. I would still pump your brakes on the ice as these aren't a dedicated snow tire but for the price, they do a fine job. If you want a snow tire, get the Blizzak WS90. The CC2s handle excellent though around corners and stop smoothly in most conditions.
