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 these tires after a brush with a curb caused my previously inadequate tire to blow out. The Michelin tires have been such an improvement in so many ways. The noise is greatly reduced, the handling is terrific and they perform miracles in all climate conditions.

Put a set on my wife's Kia Sorento in July - its now February and these tires have been through +40 to - 40 temperatures, heavy rain, heavy snow, freezing rain, mud, gravel roads, highway and city use. They are quiet, on highway and provide great handling in all conditions. I've been particularly impressed how they performed on ice and snow when it was - 42c here. I am now a firm believer in the capabilities of an all weather tire now (well, the cross climates anyway!)

Bought new for my Subaru Outback after extensive research. Met my expectations and more when driving in snow on Donner Summit in Tahoe in blizzard. Highway shut down while cars were stuck, spinning out, not equipped, I drove with confidence and safely made it to my destination. Great tire!

We have a New Pathfinder and New Qx60. We put the cross climates on the qx60 and the defender on the Pathfinder. We put them on them one day apart so both tires are New. The ride comfort and mpg with the defender is much better. The cross climate is much harder noiser and eats fuel. Unless you are I'm major snow alot the defender is a better every day tire. The cross climate is mire of a sport tire with great winter performance. We are going to switch them out for the defender this week.

Installed on a BMW X3. Mediocre as a snow tire at best. Came from Continentals Viking 7s and figure I could get by a single winter since they're labelled as an All Weather Tire. They are not a replacement for proper winter tires. Noticeably less traction off the line, straight line traction, and more importantly, during turns. In fair weather conditions (dry), fuel mileage was comparably worse than the Michelin Pilot AS3+ that it replaced which was surprising since that tire was fantastic in the dry and in the rain. Overall, not impressed.

These tires improved the performance of my Acura. The stock tires would just spin if I hit the gas remotely hard but these grip in snow, ice and drive fine on normal roads as well. I didn’t notice too much noise at all on the highway like others have complained and around corners it grips well also. I only added them to the front and have the stock Michelin’s on the back.

I bought these tires Mar 30 2021 .My first set of directional tires and not impressed.I immediately noticed a vibration.Decided to give them a week ,since there were new.They rebalanced and drove them another week before going back to bell tire. These tires on average 3- 5oz of weights which is a lot. The longest measurement of weight was 5 inches.So this is my 3 rd trip back and this time they a ( road force test) ,something I haven't heard of.This machine manipulates the sidewall of the tire, then rebalance.They end up with about the same amount of weights.So I leave and they did this procedure one more . Was told they are, whats considered acceptable limits with minimum vibration.So they are ok for now, I quess. My old worn out pilots were nice to the end .At the first rebalance they told me its probably my rims are bent. They had gotton the tires all mixed up and tried to put the tires on the wrong side of car.I had marked the arrows with white paint so this wouldn't happen.Have to rethink staying with Michelin next time.

I bought the MICHELIN® CrossClimate®2 tires for my car after reading about their impressive performance in various conditions12. I have to say, I am very satisfied with my purchase. These tires are amazing! They stop shorter than other tires I have tried, both on dry and wet pavement. They also last longer, which is great for saving money and reducing waste. And they handle well on snow, which is important for me living in Northern Ohio. I feel safe and confident driving with these tires, no matter the weather. They are truly all-season tires that deliver on their promises. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, durable, and versatile tire. Thank you, Michelin, for making such a great product!

Not wanting to buy separate winter tires for our new Bronco Sport Badlands, I changed the OEM tires for CrossClimate2's. Toronto just had the worst blizzard in years, but these tires took it in stride, was able to drive on unplowed roads with up to 30CM of snow like it was there. Definitely putting a set on my other vehicle.
