I live at 5000’ in the northern Sierra Nevada Mountains . My 2018 Subaru Forester limited is very good except OEM tires. Hated switching to studded snow tires , so after much research order a set of CrossClimate tires. They are slightly louder than OEM but much quieter than dedicated studded snow tires. Tires are Magical in snow and ice , so impressed! No more switching to dedicated winter tires. Will sell those . I found my lifetime tires for truly all season and terrain - pavement, dirt/gravel , forest roads , and especially winter snow/ ice.

These tires were on my Ford Fusion Energi which is a heavy plug in hybrid. These tires lasted about 77,000 miles of mixed highway and city use. I have an alignment issue so would recommend getting your car aligned at the same time and rotate frequently every 5k-8k miles. Today they sold themselves again. Took a nail and the tire still kept pressure. See the pictures! What a tank of a tire.

I should say up front that I have personally driven well over a half a million miles on multiple sets of Michelin pick-up truck and auto tires over the past thirty years, and have been very impressed with the ride, performance, and durability of every set. Much of those miles were on interstate highways, with lots of surface street travel. So when I bought a set of four Cross Climate II's three months ago I was very interested in the Cross Climate II tread design and a bit excited to see how it would perform. Well lets just say I was not disappointed. The first week was dry highway and surface roads, the tires felt great! as have all my previous sets of Michelin tires have. I did get a chance early on to checkout the side wall stability at high speed when I had to dodge some significant road debris (a semi truck leaf spring) at highway speed (75mph). The Cross Climate II's responded with true stability and easily passed the high speed road debris dodge test with flying colors. On the third week I was able to check them out in a major down pour, I drove into a rain storm doing 75 mph. I initially cut my speed back to 60 mph to get a feel of tires meeting the very wet road surface, and they felt great. So with no traffic around I tilted the wheel back and fourth slightly to feel the tread stability while driving on water, and they felt glued to the road, so I being a bit of risk taker I took the speed back up to 75mph and the performance was the same; excellent! So that brings me to today my first drive of the year through three or four inches of icy wet heavy snow, tracking was very good through lane changing. The Cross Climate II's handled the snow and slush with no problem. The Cross Climate II Michelin tires deserve five stars and two thumbs up in my book! In closing this review I tell a little story about some advise I overheard when I was younger working American. I overheard a older work colleague say there was two purchases where quality was imperative and he would never go cheap on; shoes and mattresses, because if not in one your in the other. So when I started driving and purchasing tires I added tires to his adage, so there are three things where quality was imperative and I would never go cheap on; shoes, mattresses and tires, because if not in / on one your in / on the other.

I purchased 4 Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires in December of 2020, and have driven over 9,000 miles on the tires in various weather and on various highway conditions. After doing a lot of online research, I decided to purchase the Michelin tires. I have purchased four sets of Michelin tires in the past for other cars which I have owned. The CrossClimate 2 were the most expensive tires out of the tires I researched but I still purchased the Michelin’s due to my past experience with the Michelin tires. I have not been disappointed with my purchase and the performance and handling of the CrossClimate 2 tires. I live in western Pennsylvania and the winter we had last year was very snowy. At times, I was driving in 6 inches of unplowed roads and had no problems. I really like the handling and feel on wet roads and how the tires channel water out on water covered roads. The ride is smooth and quiet with minimal road noise from the highway surface. After about a year of driving on the CrossClimate 2 tires, these tires have shown only slight wear. Overall, the Cross Climate 2 tires have lived up to my expectations for a premium crossover/SUV touring all season tire and worth the extra money I paid compared to the other touring all season tires.

I bought these because of the Consumer Reports ratings and I am very disappointed. The road noise regardless of speeds is unbearable. The road noise is comparable to that of driving with mud tires, Which if I were driving with mud tires I would expect the noise but not on car road tires.

Installed these mid December on a Honda Crosstour. Since installed had snow storms and driven in rain. Handled much better in snow than I expected. Crosstour felt like it had winter tires on. If these wear better than the previous Michelin’s I replaced ,, than I found a tire I will stay with. Impressed so far.

Bought a set in November 2019 for my 2015 x-trail. Replaced the standard dimensions with 215/60//16XL. Use the vehicle for 90% city and 10% hgwy. Excellent on dry and wet pavement. No Hydroplaning. Handles 10ins of snow in 4-wheel drive. Great on icy road at temps as low as -15C . Very quiet and comfortable tires. Will buy for my Terrain.

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!

I got a set last year. I had Bridgestone Mud&Snows on my Outback Touring. Absolute garbage in snow. An AWD that continuously got stuck. Terrible hydroplaning in heavy rain. I researched and found raves about the Cross Climate. Then I had to search like crazy. Everyone was "sold out." Finally found a set, had them delivered and a local shop installed them. The result? Amazingly good handling. No hydroplaning even going through standing water. As far as getting stuck in moderate snow? These tires turned my Subaru into a snowmobile! Going forward all our AWD vehicles will be wearing these at replacement time. Thanks for such an exceptional tire. Jake

I had to purchase new tires for my Nissan Leaf EV, I decided to go with the New Cross Climate II tire..Most of the reviews were positive. They are a smooth riding tire with very little road noise. Great traction. Great handling. very please with the ride..
