If you are a smooth driver, not pushing your car hard and drive carefully in winter conditions this is the best tire for you. Great performance on wet, slushy, snowy roads. Great summer performance in Toronto weather. Very comfy with little road noise. Used on both of our cars Subaru Legacy and Chevrolet Trax without any issue.

I can’t count how many sets of Michelin tire I have purchased. Bought these for a Ford Transit Connect Titanium wagon. Spent numerous hours sound proofing it. Van is light and has basic suspension. Therefore asked for the best tire, irrespective of price, that would provide a smooth and quite ride, while providing good winter traction. The ride in now rough/stiff. Despite all the sound proofing, the road/tire noise is very pronounced, especially though the front struts. There is now a vibration that comes through the steering wheel, particularly at slower speeds, and to add insult to injury, the gas mileage is off a solid 10%. They do provide good winter traction, but so do the Michelin tires I put on my daughters car this summer, without all the downsides.

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.

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!

Sadly, this Cross Climat 2 tire recommended for Honda Accord is a downgrade from the OEM tire and recommendation as this only has a "B" traction rating, but the OEM tire was rated "A". OEM tire is Michelin Primacy MXM4. I don't appreciate having a recommendation that lowers my car's safety rating in not allowing my car to top as fast or hold the road as well as expected when purchased. Did not purchase recommended tire for reason that I care for my family's safety.

Third car I have switched to CC2s instead of having 2 sets of tires for each car. Although arguably not as good as dedicated snow tires in deep snow, these tires have superior wet/slush traction. Resist hydroplaning better than any tire I've used in 35+ years of driving. If the snow is "too deep" for these, maybe you should have stayed home. Super quiet, smooth, and fuel mileage is on par with "2 season" tires. Better fuel mileage than dedicated snows. Only down side is they tend to pick up/hold a lot of stones in the tread. You'll want some stone protection on any exposed metal body parts directly behind the wheels.

Bought first set for a 2010 Forester. So impressed I bought a second set for the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Great ride, and grip especially on the Grand Cherokee. Replaced OEM tires on the Jeep. These are just so much better. No more loud crashing over potholes and highway cruising is so quiet. Replaced some Kumho's on the Subaru and these are also super quiet. Certainly worth the money. Don't put on cheap tires. You'll regret it like buying cheap shoes.

I bought these tires just before going on a 3300 mile trip. They performed well. Speed limits varied between 55 mph and 80 mph. The tires held the road nicely and I felt comfortable at any speed. I was particularly pleased with the performance in an unexpected September snow storm when leaving Yellowstone. The temperature was 33 degrees with about 4 inches of unplowed snow going over Sylvan Pass. Lower speed as expected but curves and changes in elevation were managed well. I was really glad I had my new tires!

Absolutely love these tires. Was looking for all season tires with excellent snow rating. Drive up into the mountains regularly and these were fantastic in the snow. They are also quiet in the summer as I like to drive with windows down and sunroof open. Perfect tires, I just wish they made something similar for our Model 3 Tesla.

Had these installed on a 2015 Civic. They replaced Nokian WR G3s that wore out before 30,000 miles. Had the Cross Climate 2s on until it was time to trade in the car another 30,000 miles later. They still had more than half their tread left. They were also much better in the snow than the Nokians. I actually couldn't wait for snow just because it was so much fun to drive in it. Felt very solid and safe in all weather conditions. This fall I will be replacing the OEM tires with another set of Michelin CC 2s it will be money well spent.
