CC2's Are a Great Choice
These are excellent tires for most cars and SUV's. This is our 3rd set of the CC2's. One set went 65,000 and the other 62,000 miles. I always change tires when at around 4/32 and probably could have increase that number, but living in a 4 season area, I'd prefer to have more tread due to winter climate. They handle really well in all environments, for the type of driving my family and I do. Snow, ice, rain, I am always impressed with their control on all surfaces. They have a nice firm, but comfortable ride on our Subaru's. My only issue would be road noise, but it's not excessive and not a deal breaker. Michelin's IMO are always worth the added cost.
Very well, made tire handles good but my only chief complaint that is a dealbreaker for me. Is the tires get really loud after about 20 or 30,000 miles I’m ready to take them off. I’ve got them on a Lexus and it sounds like I’m driving a truck with mud tires and I do keep it aligned in the tires balance.

Michelin CrossClimate All-Season — My Honest Review
I bought my tires in the spring of 2023. I’ve been driving on Michelin CrossClimate All-Season tires for a while, and I couldn’t be happier. From day one they transformed the driving experience — the ride is noticeably smooth and confident. I seriously love my tires! Comfort & Ride Quality: The car feels composed and supple over city streets and highway miles. Road noise is low, and bumps are absorbed cleanly, so long drives are far less fatiguing. All‑Weather Performance: These tires handle rain, dry pavement, and light snow with impressive consistency. Wet braking and cornering feel secure — I’ve had no worries even in heavy downpours. In colder temperatures and light winter conditions they maintain traction and stability better than many other all‑season tires I’ve tried. Traction & Handling: Grip is excellent across varied surfaces. Cornering is predictable and responsive, and the tires inspire confidence when accelerating or changing lanes. Traction from stop to go is strong and reliable. Durability & Wear: So far they show even wear and good tread life. Michelin’s build quality gives me confidence they’ll last and remain safe over many miles. Overall Value: These tires deliver a premium blend of comfort, safety, and year‑round versatility. If you want one set that performs well in most conditions without swapping seasonal tires, the CrossClimate All‑Season is a great choice. Summary: Smooth ride, dependable traction in all weather, and confident handling — I love these tires and highly recommend them.
Thread life so short, it makes Kevin Hart look tall
Michelin has always been my go to tires, but I am getting a bit frustrated with its thread life. Put on Premier LTX before the Cross Climate 2. While the Premier LTX lasted only lasted 36,718 miles instead of the promised 60,000 miles in nearly three years of use, the Cross Climate 2 only saw 30,000 miles before the dealer refused to service them. After switching to the more expensive Cross Climate 2 with deeper threads, I thought I would get longer life but alas, here we are after only 30,000 miles of use and threads are already below 2/32" according to the dealer. While the tires are good otherwise, thread life of 30000 for tires with a promise of 60000 miles is simply not acceptable. Basically crapping out at half the warranty distance in less than 20 months (1 year - 8 months) of us. Micheline essentially replaced their discontinued Premier line with a less durable product and reduced the warranty distance so they do not have to cover warranty
We appreciate your loyalty to Michelin and understand how frustrating it can be when tread life doesn’t meet expectations. While many factors such as driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance can impact tire longevity, we recognize your concern given the mileage and timeframe you described. If you would like to discuss warranty options, please visit an authorized tire dealer for a tire inspection and give us a call with the results while you are there.

JUST TOOK OFF A SET I PURCHASED 4 1/2 YRS AGO 84,555 MILES ON THEM AND 4/32 TREAD DEPTH LEFT. UNBLIEVABLE RIDE & TRACTION ALL THRU THE LIFE OF THE TIRES. I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS TIRE FOR ANY TYPE OF VEHICLE. THE RIDE WAS BETTER THAN THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. THANKS MICHELIN D. SCOTT RAMSEY
Fantastic for 1 Year then very poor.
I purchased the cross climate 2s from my local tire discounters. The first year was fantastic great wet and dry / snow performance. From what I was told Michelin states that their tires do not lose performance over time. In my experience putting them on a 4 cylinder honda accord after 1 year and around 6,000 miles even after a tire rotation if I give my stock 4 cylinder more than 10% throttle I spin all over the place even in light rain and light snow. Im very upset and disappointed with the performance of this tire and have to drive very slowly wherever I go in any kind of weather condition except sunny and dry.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear about the recent loss of traction. We recommend visiting your local dealer for a tire inspection. Issues such as misalignment, uneven wear or other tire related factors can affect performance over time.

Gimmick
What you wrote comes across as experienced and authoritative, but I can polish it into a cleaner, professional version while keeping your voice. Here’s a refined draft you could use if you’re posting or sharing this advice: ⸻ I’ve been in the tire distribution industry for 23 years, and in that time I’ve probably handled 7–8 million tires. Based on my experience, you’ll never truly get the best of both worlds with “all-weather” tires. The smarter investment is a proper set of all-seasons for the warmer months and a set of dedicated winters for the colder months. With normal driving habits, that combination can easily last you 7–8 years. While cross-climate and all-weather tires are marketed as a one-size-fits-all solution, I personally wouldn’t trust them beyond two years of use. They simply don’t perform at the same level as a true winter tire—especially on ice. We sell them as well, but I always recommend dedicated seasonal tires for the best safety and performance.
Great Versatility at a Great Price
I researched and selected these tires for my daughter. She wanted to spend her money wisely. She does a lot of highway driving taking her daughter to basketball games all over Ontario and the neighbouring US states, on highways and back roads and wanted a tire that was safe for all weather situations. The Cross Climate has performed exceptionally well under snowy and rainy conditions. They have stood up well with very little wear showing and provided a comfortable ride with excellent handling. As her father, I am very happy with my suggestion!
Great tires for Snow and Ice
At 105,000 miles, I needed new tires for my 2019 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum. I looked at a lot of tire recommendations and reviews. I was looking for something with high marks in snow and ice traction. I was also price-conscious, but wanted the best tire. These were the top-rated tires, according to Consumer Reports. What really convinced me to spend more money on these tires was that in the CR testing, these tires lasted 95,000 miles for excellent durability. Right after having them installed, my wife and I drove over to Madison for a Christmas music concert. As we drove there, snow started falling. I noticed a different sound from these tires that is distinct because of the unique pattern. They felt very comfortable. It was on the way home that they paid for themselves. By the time we left the concert, over 4" of snow had fallen. Our drive home was mainly on 2-lane state highways. I reduced the speed for the environment, and these tires performed perfectly. There were a lot of cars in the ditch on our drive home. By the time we got to the last few miles, the snow was 6-8" deep and unplowed on the county roads that were the last miles to our house. I look that they will be a very veratile tire when we get the the warmer weather and rains.
Great Year-Round Tire
Great year-round tire. I live in the mountains of Northern California where we get tons of snow, often deep snow. I sold my winter tires as the CC2’s perform well enough on my SQ5 I now don’t need the annual change-over. Currently 45,000 miles on them and looking like at least another 15,000 left on them. More than three times what I was getting out of the Sport Pilots that came with the car. No noticeable difference in mpg or road noise. Very happy with these tires and recommend them.
