I got these tires last Dec 2022 for the winter and rain in Olympic Peninsula area… we live in a very steep hill 600ft straight up from the main road, and we had the worst winter in history with some Seattle frozen roads on my work days… it worked perfect! I am glad I never skid or slide on those days. Even had this on a winter storm when we had a family emergency drive to British Columbia and with my dual motor Tesla model 3, we never had a problem. I am glad this was recommended by an agent during my tire rotation in 2021, I looked it up and changed last 2022.

Like some of you I read in Consumer Reports that the CrossClimate2 is a top-rated all-season tire, and I also watched videos like the one from Engineering Explained on youtube. I also read reviews here. Even after all that, I wondered what these tires would really be like. My previous tire was a Goodyear Eagle LS-2 that was the OEM tire for my 2018 Acura TLX. The Goodyears had 46k miles on them, but they still had plenty of tread left and were only three years old, but I wanted to replaced them because I wasn't happy with their performance in any season—dry, wet, or in snow. And so I was looking for a major performance and safety upgrade to justify the expense of early tire replacement. I'll give details below, but long story short the Michelin CrossClimate2 tires are outstanding so far. I've been driving since 1980, and I've driven most of the major tires brands over the years, and so far these are the best tires I've ever owned. Quietness: This is the one area where the Goodyear Eagle has a small edge, but the CrossClimate2 is still a quiet tire that's good for a luxury car. And actually the CrossClimate2 is much quieter around corners. The Goodyears in moderate cornering would squeal in protest, and make it seem like I was 1970s cop show or something trying to make a dramatic get away. The CC tires are no drama tires in comparison. Comfort: About equal. Both very comfortable. Interestingly the CrossClimate2 seems a bit better at handling speed bumps. MPG: About the same as the Goodyear Eagle. This was a surprise, because I was prepared to give up 2-3 mpg for a better tire, but the mpg seems to be about the same for me. Obviously ymmv. Lateral grip: Wow. Big difference. Where as mentioned the Goodyear Eagle tires were squealing for mercy at moderate speeds around corners, and seeming like they might even lose grip, the Michelin tires are great in comparison. No drama. Excellent road grip in corners. More fun to drive. Major upgrade. Safer. Took some twisting 2-lane country roads I'm quite familiar with, as well as a steeply banked cloverleaf onramp that's a favorite, and it's clear the Michelin tires are on a whole different level. It feels like you're riding on rails with the CrossClimate2. Stopping distance: Didn't try a panic stop, but going downhill on a familiar country road with no one behind me I did a rapid stop from a good speed up to a stop sign, and the CC tires seemed to stop significantly faster and with greater confidence. On center feel: This was a surprise, but perhaps because of the directional V pattern of the tread it seems like the on-center feel for the new tires is much better. I like the road feel. I feel more connected to the car and to the road with the Michelin tires. I've only owned these tires for a few days and about 300 miles so far, and the conditions have been dry, and so I'm not sure at some point I'll get to try out the two probably strongest areas for the CC tires—wet traction and snow traction. Right now I'm feeling confident the tires will live up to expectations. Overall, the CrossClimate2 tires seem like a great upgrade, and well worth the money if you are looking for a premium all-season tire with the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating.

1 month ago, I installed a set of 4 on my 2019 Toyota Highlander. Even just pulling out of the tire lot, I could tell instantly that the ride was incredible. Made a trip from Cincinnati to Myrtle Beach the next day. Highway speeds only reaffirmed that these tires felt like riding on a pillow top mattress! The most comfortable, BEST tires I've ever had, and I've tried ALL high end tires over the years. We did hit the rain storms at highway speeds and these tires did not disappoint! The wet traction was amazing with zero hydroplaning. Of course I drove responsibly in heavy rain but these tires sliced right through heavy highway puddles with ease, with no loss of traction. Vehicle stopping distance has also somehow improved as these tires seem to really stop easier at normal braking. Also at emergency braking... just this week another driver pulled right out in front of me around a curve where I was going about 45mph. I braked hard.. no, I mean hard, like where everything on every seat flies into the floor and your family's faces flash before your eyes. The ABS of course activated, and these tires stopped on a dime! Thank God for Michelin. I've already bought a second set for one of my other vehicles. Thank you Michelin, for making THE best tires I've ever driven on.

I bought these a year and a half ago. They were purchased prior to winter driving, with the idea of swapping them out for snow tires if needed. They have performed well in winter conditions for the last two years without changing them out. We also have issues with water pooling on the highway. These handle the situation well, without a hint of hydroplaning. They feel more secure than more expensive tires.

Love these tires. Living ion the west coast of Canada the snowflake means they can stay on all year. Running now on both vehicles because I was tired of swapping out tires. But… on the Tesla I would like an option for the noise foam inclusion or a tech to tell me why it is not just default on all tires??

I’ve had my tires now for a couple of weeks and you definitely can feel the difference with the control of your car. The tires definitely handle the streets better and in a turn the car seems to have better handling. I also love the look of the tire. Since their treads are designed a little differently it gives a tire a different look which looks nice on my 2018 Honda accord hybrid. I hope you find it helpful.

I bought these tires back in November 2021 since I decided to work for DoorDash. Since people don’t like to go out in the rain and snow, I knew those days would be pretty busy. And let me tell you… BEST TIRES I HAVE EVER PURCHASED! If it wasn’t for my car being so low to the ground, I could go anywhere I want! No slipping in the rain and great traction in the snow. That’s not something you hear too often about a front wheel drive economy car! I’ll definitely buy these again!

When I initially put this tire on my 2020 RAV4 hybrid, it felt noisy and reduced mpg. But after driving for 1000 miles I noticed road noise has decreased significantly and mpg had improved very much. I checked it with a decibel meter. Also the traction in rain is really good.

I purchased a set of these tires for my Santa Fe in April 2022 in preparation for a cross-country road trip. I immediately experienced a MUCH quieter ride. On the trip itself I encountered a wide range of weather conditions: hot and windy, light rain and heavy rain, and snow/ice. These tires handled it all with aplomb. Another reviewer mentioned a decrease in mpg with these tires, and that may be the case, albeit only a slight decrease in my case. For me, the improved footing over a wider range of weather conditions is worth it.

Placed these on 2019 equinox and love them. Great stopping traction and great handling. Noise level is low when comparing it to an all terrain tire but low compared to a highway tire. Don’t really care about mpg so don’t notice but still close to same mileage per tank during fuel ups. Have put 15k miles on them and can’t even notice a change. Great traction on road dry or wet pavement and good off road use for gravel dirt and grass. Not a mud tire so never tried.
