I haven't had them long but they are a huge upgrade from my stock tires. It snowed recently in nyc and I had them put on. My car was getting stuck constantly before these. They are too good, they give me more confidence with my car on ice and snow then I think the low profile is sometimes able to handle. It feel like I have a truck, my tires have not slipped once so far.

We chose the CrossClimate2 tires because they were very highly rated by Consumer Reports where they highlighted the performance, traction and durability. We have now owned and driven on these tires for nine months and could not be happier with them. We get a lot of different weather with occasional very heavy rainfall and even snowfall over a foot at times. These tires perform extremely well in all occasions and we are particularly impressed with the traction of these tire in snow and heavy rainfall. In fact, when the factory tires have worn out on our new Honda Ridgeline truck, we will be replacing them with the CrossClimate2's.

My wife and I have put three quarters of a million miles on Michelin tires over the last ten years and they have been by far the best when it comes to durability and tread life. We have had sets of Goodyear that don’t get half the same miles on them and have had durability and wear issues. I have used the ltx m/s2s and now the defender ltx m/s and my wife is now using the crossclimates. The grip and control on her tires is excellent and my m/s2s got 100k miles on all of them.

We love our new Michelin cross climate 2 tires. We have had these almost 4 months now and have been through many weather tests. Great grip on wet roads and excellent grip in the snow. Braking is very good on both. They run quieter and absorb road abnormalities around the city and on the highway better than the Pirelli tires we had before these. Very smooth. Well worth the slightly higher price than other premium tires in our opinion. Very happy with our purchase.

I bought the Cross Climate 2's based on The Tire Rack and Subaru Owners Forums opinions. Most owners of The Subaru Outback replaced their OEM tires with The Cross Climate 2's. I am disappointed that Michelin refuses to offer the updated Cross Climate 3's in the US and we are stuck with the "old" design Cross Climate 2's. I have not driven a great deal over the last three months , perhaps a total of one thousand miles. In my mind it is difficult to give a proper evaluation. My expectations of the tire are better long term durability, adhesion, braking, traction and road noise. So far I have not experienced anything to demonstrate the Cross Climate 2 exceeds the performance of The Vredestein Quatrac 5 that were mounted on my car previously. We shall see.

This tire has exceeded my expectations. I've only purchased Michelin tires (except once) for my vehicles. As recently as a month before I bought these actually. I wish I would have decided on these for my other purchase. They are good but nothing like these. If you are looking for a true multi weather (not season) tire the CrossClimate2 is truly amazing. This winter was a great test bed for this review. We've had 8+ in snow falls, sleet, ice, rain, and nice weather so far and I can't say enough about how well this tire handles the elements. Really amazing in rain. I don't want to say that I speed but I will say that I'm not sure at what speed you could get these tires to hydroplane. I couldn't get them to. I don't hear any road noise at high speed and was impressed with the snow and ice capabilities too. These are great if you live in an area where you truly have all types of weather each year. When it's time to replace the factory Michelin's on my wife's car, this will be my choice. No more research needed. The price tag is well worth it. When you cost justify what you feel is expensive you have to keep in mind that you will rely on your tires for years. You should always want a high quality tire under you.

We’ve had our tires for about a month and a half now and I’ve been in some crummy weather, snow on the roads, freezing rain and we have found our tires to do quite well in poor weather and great on dry roads. We hope to get a lot of mileage out of them. It’s our first set

So far, so good. I am pleased with the overall performance of the tires considering traction, tread wear and braking.

We have the cross climate tires. We have awful roads in our town. Are these tires supposed to ride smooth?
