I JUST EXCHANGED MY DEFENDER 2 TIRES AFTER 5 WEEKS FOR CROSSCLIMATE 2 TIRES BECAUSE THE DEFENDER 2 TIRES WERE TOO LIGHT FOR MY 2005 LINCOLN TOWN CAR AND WERE TRANSMITTING ROAD VIBRATIONS THROUGH MY STEERING WHEEL. THE CROSSCLIMATE 2 TIRES ARE HEAVIER AND PROVIDE A LIKE FACTORY-NEW, VERY SMOOTH RIDE!

These are good in snow, rain, even had good luck on ice. But after only a couple of months I’ve noticed they’ve started pulling all the time. I’m constantly having to make small steering adjustments I’ve never had to do before. After looking online, seems like it’s a pretty common problem with these tires. Sorry I took the recommendation of the tire shop now…

People seem to be getting confused about a couple points: 1. Wandering / Poor tracking: this tends to happen with untrained staff mounting all four tires on the wheels one direction, which makes directional tread patterns like these backwards on one side of the car, which results in poor tracking and wandering. I have had tire shops do this, and it feels exactly how some "disappointed" reviewers are describing their performance. 2. Poor MPG: Michelin has replied here to a bunch of people that fresh tire compounds result in lower mpg at first. That's not untrue necessarily, but so far people have ignored that new tires are physically larger than worn tires, even at the same nominal size. The worn tires are giving artificially high MPG figures (they aren't going as far as the odometer says), and the new ones are often giving artificially low figures (going farther than the odometer says, since they are often set for an average tire age), so jumping from worn to new makes it falsely appear that there is a significant MPG difference. So, don't get it twisted! These are great tires, especially in wet environments. Even at double the price of standard "used car grade" tires, I bought two more sets of these, so every car would be as safe and comfortable. I only wish they came in a light truck load rating so I could feel better taking them on forest roads.

First off I’m a huge Michelin fan until now. Everyone raved about these so I plopped down a weeks take home and had them installed on my rogue. Huge mistake! I had primacy’s and absolutely loved them but these are horrendous. They ride like they’re filled with concrete, dropped highway mpg from 31 to 27 and produce a noticeable hum. To make matters worse, the vibrate @80 mph and all the balancing and alignment checks in the world can’t get rid of it. I bought an extra set of factory rims and had a competitors tire installed, which was almost 59% less and the vibration is gone. Bad tires! They do wear like iron is the only good thing I can say. I use these now for a winter tire and hope we don’t get snow so I don’t have to swap wheels out. So disappointed in what I spent for such a gimmicky tire.

Phenomenal tires. Great traction in the snow. Sure grip. Noticeable change in acceleration. Performance is far improved. Yes, there is a difference in gas mileage. I’m posting a photo of the 12 month gas mileage performance. That being said, the trade off is worth it. Also posting a photo of the tracks in the snow. With the Bridgestones that I had on the car, I accelerated in the snow and slammed on the breaks. The car swerved. Did the same move with the Michelin tires, and a sure grip. See the tracks and you’ll see the sure grip. I’m very pleased with these.

We bought these tires in September for our 2013 Hyundai sonata. I initially settled on this tire cause it was 3PMSF rated. I'm glad I did! These tires have taken us down every dirt trail without a problem. Drove through downpours without even hinting at having a problem and has taken on every inch of Idaho snow like it wasn't there. These tires have performed so well in the snow and the winter weather that I'll gladly buy them again in a heartbeat. Yes, there was about a 1-2 mpg loss but for the safety and comfort this tires gives, I have no issue with that.

The Michelin CrossClimate 2 are great all-season tires with a strong grip, smooth handling, and solid snow performance. They last long, rides quietly, and work well in most weather. They are a bit pricey, but absolutely worth it for safety and durability. Not a full winter tire, but great for year-round use.

these tires are unmatched they are the best the day after i bought them it was raining pretty heavy and i was taking turns at 65mph and it was like it wasnt raining, the other day had a snowstorm 9" drove through with no issues at all i absolutely love the tires.

Got them put on yesterday and noticed a huge difference in the ride and handling of my Honda Pilot SE. I am looking forward to not changing tires in the winter as I live in Quebec and they are approved for use in the snow. I also spend 6 months in Florida and the tires can handle the heat as well. Well worth the price!

I drive a Ram Promaster City Front Wheel Drive minivan for a large company in the photostatic industry. The stock tires that came on it, were a joke, even on a small patch of ice. So I shopped around for an all-season tire, since my company + leasing company will not allow snow tires. Imperative, in my book (ex tire-jock), is that they had the 3 Mountain Peak / Snowflake symbol, because I have put such tires on my personal vehicles, and never looked back. Well, I've got these about a month ago, and have been over Powder River Pass at least twice on packed snow, and ice... and have busted drifts out on I-25 several times to get to my tasks, and they have not failed to provide unparalleled traction, and give me a lot more confidence in my work vehicle. I will be switching to these tires on my other vehicles, as soon as their current tires wear out.
