An excellent all-season or winter changeup tire for almost any application where rain, ice, and moderate snow are factors (a legitimate 'snowflake', 3PMSF) while maintaining confidence at high speeds, and enhancing certain performance characteristics such as cornering and braking. I just ordered the CrossClimate2 to replace a pair of CrossClimate+ on my [FWD] Mazda, not needing to consider another tire, as I recently chose a set of CrossClimate2 on my [AWD] Lexus IS for the new winter set and I could not be happier with them. You do need to be attentive and work them in properly during the break-in period, as they can be a little loose during that break-in. If you do break them in properly you will have a better chance of being a satisfied Customer, this is true with just about ANY tire. I suspect some of the complaints around these either do not understand that break-in approach and/or received poor advice - or no advice at all, from their Installers. As far as gas mileage and road noise comments go I would disregard those as the performance and safety of these tires far exceed any inconvenience in those areas, I've had dozens of different tires on similar vehicles and these are neither loud nor inefficient gas-wise, long-term. I gained back my MPG and then some with these compared to multiple other brands. My only complaint of sorts would be the tire/tread life, where I have just over 20k on a pair of CrossClimate+ after approximately 2 years. That is very low mileage-wise, however,, they have been great through everything nature has thrown at them and even though they have 3-4/32nd left out of the 9/32nds when new, I'm replacing them early for safety concerns instead of trying to squeeze another season or three out of them, which I probably could, but better safe than sorry. My family drives these cars daily and I'm more comfortable with them having more tread. I am expecting more life out of the CrossClimate2 with 10/32nds new... I will likely post a separate performance-centric review for the CrossClimate2 experience on the Lexus, as I only have a few hundred miles on that vehicle, but so far the results exceed expectations, providing a very stable and consistent ride, better than any of the other tires I've ever had on that Lexus. If anything the tires amplify the driving experience on my vehicles and sometimes that means revealing suspension issues and other inconsistencies in their feedback, the type of precise feedback that less dynamic and responsive tires do not provide. This is another likely limitation of understanding on the part of some CrossClimate Owners.

I hesitated due to the cost, but purchased them for winter use on the store recommendation. They are simply awesome in the rain; turning, stopping... After having them on my last vehicle (MB E500 wagon) , I plan on buying them again for my current car (MB GLK350) as soon as I need tires.

I'm in love with these new tires. I put them my wife's Cadillac XT5 to replace her original tires. I never liked driving her car because it always swayed in turns and curves on the highway. It would feel like the car would just give way and have to be jerked back. Apparently the side walls were very flimsy and would give way under pressure. The new tires do not suffer from this action. I now enjoy driving her car and the ride is very smooth and feels secure.

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.

I purchased my tires in March 2021. I've put quite a few miles on them since with diverse climate and road conditions. Simply, they perform GREAT! They hug the road. My main reason for buying them was in the (heavy) rain at higher speeds on interstates, and off road--dirt/stones. I'm really very pleased. Needless to say good performance in snow. They also seem to hug the roads while navigating on bends/curves in the roads. I'm pleased with the purchase and highly recommend the tire. I will say I am waiting to see how long they last--how many miles I will get from them. That is the only thing I don't know yet! So make the purchase and know you can have confidence in the tires.

I"ve had these tires on my 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T for over year and I am thouroughly impressed, our last set of snow rated tires were great in the snow, but if the pavement was wet they would spin like it was icy. These CrossClimate 2's handle all weather conditions much better than any previous tire I've tried. I liked them So much I bought a set for my AWD Subaru. We recently purchased a GMC Acadia AWD and that will get a set as well when it needs tires. Wear so far has been exceptional.

I just have to say these are the best tires I have ever purchased. It truly improved the ride in my Tesla, soooo smooth and I luv the tread pattern.. I have highly recommended this tire to my fellow Tesla drivers and hope I have made a sale or two your way.

Into the second season. We live on Vancouver Island and have a wide variety of winter conditions. Although they don't perform in snow quite as good as Winter tires they have been excellent at switching between varying conditions of snow, ice and heavy rain on the same drive.

I've had the CrossClimate2's on my 2019 RDX Advance for four days, a few hundred miles, and here are my initial impressions: *Car drives and rides better than it ever has *Got caught in a drenching downpour and never felt so secure *Quieter than any tires I've ever owned Should be a good winter tire for us in Maine.

Bought the tires about 2 months ago. Hit all weather conditions since then. Tires are noisy... to the point I needed to regularly check my RPMs. Tires handle well on dry and very well on wet surfaces. They handle moderately well in snow. I found myself sliding a bit in slushy roads.
