GREAT TIRES

Feels very stable

Good tires

When I bought my SUV, first thing I did is go to my tire shop for Michelin tires. I wanted Defenders which I have and love on my truck, but they didn’t come in my new SUV’s size. As we’re in the Pacific Northwest, the shop suggested the Cross Climate 2. It’s been several years of great driving in rain, snow, on gravel roads, lots of mountain roads (where black ice can be unavoidable), and these tires never give me pause. I just brought my car in for the tires to be rotated at 40K mikes, and the shop said my tires have lots of wear left; plus the wear is nice and even. The only downside is that I’ve lost several mpg in fuel efficiency, but when I’m safely driving 4,000 ft mountain passes in driving rain or snow, that seems like a fair trade off.

This was the first time we replaced the tires since we bought the vehicle. In the past, the car drove well enough, but with these new Michelin Crossclimate2s the car feels like it is floating down the freeway. It is just so smooth! Plus these tires grip the road really well whether the asphalt is dry or wet. We also get loads of compliments on how nice these tires look! (No one has ever complimented our tires before!) We are truly delighted with these phenomenal tires. They are the best we have ever had.

This is my second set. I first purchased these for my Subaru Outback, the were perfect for both rain and snow, not to mention dry weather conditions. I was so happy with these that when I purchased my 2023 Forester, I replaced the dealer’s tires with a new set of the Crossclimate2, they feel lighter and I will expect to get almost 60K mile on these as well.

We purchased these tires for our Acura MDX while on a trip in Colorado. While they look nice with that tread, they are so loud driving that it would seem we were in an off-road truck with those big truck tires. We have had them for a bit, but we felt the need to say something. I wouldn't recommend these tires at all.

I have had the tires for 2 months, and until this week's ice/snow storm here in Cincinnati I thought these tires were very good. Now I believe they are fantastic. Better than studded tires of long ago. They go, they stop, and on packed snow/slush/ice they track straight. Quiet on dry pavement. Soft ride, but great traction. Only negative is the distinctive thread pattern let's my co workers know where I have been playing around in the snow. Especially like the installation at work capability.

I bought a set of these CrossClimate 2 tires in 2022 and never have been more impressed with the handling, traction, etc. of any other tire I have bought in the 60+ years I have been driving. Note: I chose the Helium fill option if this makes any difference.
