CrossClimate2 outstanding so far

Like some of you I read in Consumer Reports that the CrossClimate2 is a top-rated all-season tire, and I also watched videos like the one from Engineering Explained on youtube. I also read reviews here. Even after all that, I wondered what these tires would really be like. My previous tire was a Goodyear Eagle LS-2 that was the OEM tire for my 2018 Acura TLX. The Goodyears had 46k miles on them, but they still had plenty of tread left and were only three years old, but I wanted to replaced them because I wasn't happy with their performance in any season—dry, wet, or in snow. And so I was looking for a major performance and safety upgrade to justify the expense of early tire replacement. I'll give details below, but long story short the Michelin CrossClimate2 tires are outstanding so far. I've been driving since 1980, and I've driven most of the major tires brands over the years, and so far these are the best tires I've ever owned. Quietness: This is the one area where the Goodyear Eagle has a small edge, but the CrossClimate2 is still a quiet tire that's good for a luxury car. And actually the CrossClimate2 is much quieter around corners. The Goodyears in moderate cornering would squeal in protest, and make it seem like I was 1970s cop show or something trying to make a dramatic get away. The CC tires are no drama tires in comparison. Comfort: About equal. Both very comfortable. Interestingly the CrossClimate2 seems a bit better at handling speed bumps. MPG: About the same as the Goodyear Eagle. This was a surprise, because I was prepared to give up 2-3 mpg for a better tire, but the mpg seems to be about the same for me. Obviously ymmv. Lateral grip: Wow. Big difference. Where as mentioned the Goodyear Eagle tires were squealing for mercy at moderate speeds around corners, and seeming like they might even lose grip, the Michelin tires are great in comparison. No drama. Excellent road grip in corners. More fun to drive. Major upgrade. Safer. Took some twisting 2-lane country roads I'm quite familiar with, as well as a steeply banked cloverleaf onramp that's a favorite, and it's clear the Michelin tires are on a whole different level. It feels like you're riding on rails with the CrossClimate2. Stopping distance: Didn't try a panic stop, but going downhill on a familiar country road with no one behind me I did a rapid stop from a good speed up to a stop sign, and the CC tires seemed to stop significantly faster and with greater confidence. On center feel: This was a surprise, but perhaps because of the directional V pattern of the tread it seems like the on-center feel for the new tires is much better. I like the road feel. I feel more connected to the car and to the road with the Michelin tires. I've only owned these tires for a few days and about 300 miles so far, and the conditions have been dry, and so I'm not sure at some point I'll get to try out the two probably strongest areas for the CC tires—wet traction and snow traction. Right now I'm feeling confident the tires will live up to expectations. Overall, the CrossClimate2 tires seem like a great upgrade, and well worth the money if you are looking for a premium all-season tire with the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating.

Great Tires

I bought a set for my 2013 Ford Focus in late March. I have about 5K miles on them and really like the handling and grip on both dry and wet roads. I can't wait so see what they are like this winter. I also put a set on my 2008 Ford Taurus X in September. Only a few thousand miles but just like the others they are great in wet and dry road conditions.

Loss of acceleration and breaking. Do Not Recommend.

I have had the tires on for a day and every time I drive there is something about it that makes me nauseous. Secondly, I love my Tesla, because it has get up and go. It is fast on acceleration. With these tires, I notice a great loss in acceleration at stop lights and signs. Lastly, breaking seems a sluggish with these tires. I had the Michelin MXM tires before. Should have staid with them.

Great performing tire with FAR too much noise

Great tire at first, but as more miles are placed on them they get very noisy. I have them on 2 vehicles currently and each has about 20,000 miles on the tires. The tread is still in great shape. They have been rotated and balanced. The noise is to the point where I am thinking about replacing the tires with a lot of life left on them otherwise.

CF, sorry you are experiencing this. Increasing noise could be from an irregular wear pattern developing on the tires. Regardless, we'd like to speak to your local Michelin retailer (preferably the selling dealer) while you are there, so that we can get an inspection of the tires and decide on next steps.

Excellent all-around

I recently purchased a set of 4 CrossClimate Tires. These are the second-more refined version of the CrossClimate model that came out before. The CrossClimate2 is built for higher speeds and extra safety. I can feel the difference in my turns at every time I break. I bought these for my Honda CR-V, with the intent of providing a safer ride for my child. So far, I'm very impressed.

Puncture magnet

Bought Cross Climate for Honda CrV 2019 and 5000 miles later had 2 punctures episodes. Both looked and felt the same - knock-knock sound - and screw inside the tire thread. I googled “puncture resistance of Cross Climate tires” and found the same cases. I generally like Michelin products but this one is very disappointing.

Alex, it's unfortunate that you had 2 tires that were damaged by screws. Were the tires repairable? Did you purchase road hazard coverage form the retailer? If you still have the damaged tires, give us a call at 866-866-6605 8am-5pm EST Mon-Fri to further discuss this issue.

Great year round tires. Works well in snow

These work great in summer, fall, and winter. They work well in snow which is rare for all-weather tires. Getting a little less gas mileage but that's expected due to how much grip they have. Now if you'd just make an all-weather tires that works better on sports cars, I'd be so happy :)

Replaced the Factory Supplied OEM tires with these

Our new vehicle came with Toyo A36 OEM tires. However having the vehicle delivered in December, we switched tires and rims for Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV tires. During that winter I read various unfavourable reviews of the Toyo A36 tires. I also read very favourable reviews of the Michelin CrossClimate2 four season tires. When it came time to change out our winter tires for all season tires, we had the brand new Toyo's removed from the aluminum rims and had the CrossClimate2 tires installed. The CrossClimate2 tires have a very aggressive tread. I jokingly call them 'tractor tires'. However these ride extremely well, quiet and comfortable, eliminating most road imperfections. These are great in rain and slippery road conditions, hugging the pavement. Alternatively these are excellent on gravel roads and offer a very controlled ride. These are proving to be a formidible tire for spring, summer and autumn driving.

Excellent on wet roads, roads with de-icer applied and snowy roads.

I had these tired installed on a 3000 lbs curb weight wagon/hatchback, about 6 months ago and have been very impressed. Typically with funny wheel drive, starting on a hill on wet pavement involves lots of patience to get going without sitting there spinning the tires. That is greatly reduced with these tires! They are just as impressive in the snow. I drove up a steep street, without being able to get much momentum due to pedestrians sledding in the street, with about 6 inches of snow that was semi-compact having been driven on by a 4 or 5 vehicles. There was some wheelspin, but I was controlling it and didn't lose momentum. The only con is a little hit to fuel economy, which isn't as bad after they break in. They are also great on roads that have that slick liquid de-icer applied, and have not hydroplaned once, in northwest washington state.

Love the feel of the ride.

Love the feel of the ride. Haven’t had them long enough to know how they do in bad weather. I was somewhat hesitant to buy them because the set of Michelins that came on my car only lasted 36,000 miles. These tires have a longer warranty. I don’t know if new cars come with a lower quality tire or not. A friend of mine had to replace his Michelin tires at 39,000 miles. Hoping for the best!
