I only buy these tires on every car now. They handle any weather rain,snow,ice and extreme heat just fine. I have never hydroplaned in these and they are about 90% as good as winter tires on ice. I used to buy the Toyo style like this but did not like them on the really hot days. If you do not want to deal with storing and changing winter tires, these will do the job.

I had Michelin Defenders for my Honda Ridgeline '17 (bought in Oct 22) they too were smooth and as I spend most of my time on the highway, they lasted a while. Now got the new Cross Climate 2 and I was impressed !! The tires are amazing, quiet, smooth and the truck handles a lot better. I would highly recommend them.

The traction, durability, and performance are on par with any good tire - I typically only purchase Michelin or Bridgestone tires. However, I found them to be very load. I spoke to the owner of a local tire shop, my car was in for an inspection, he confirmed this tire is very popular and that other also had the same issue. Even though I did not need tires, I ordered a new set due to the road noise.

Wow, I debated investing this much money in a set of tires, but throughout my history of owning automobiles since I was 16 years old, Michelin has always been my best bet out performing any of the major players in the tire industry. I was particularly interested in the durability of a gravel hill that is my driveway of coming up and down my old BF Goodrich tires slipped and didn’t feel very sure footed. However, these climate cross climate tires are awesome. I also have to say that I used my automobile over the weekend in heavy downpours of rain. I interstate speed my car never once felt like it was hydroplaning at all again the footprint, the footprint and the grip of the tire on the asphalt was truly remarkable. I absolutely love these tires the most impressive well worth the money Michelin once again is a Top Notch tire company

These Tires are being pushed as Wonderful, and were hyped by the Dealer, and were in Short Supply. Got a set, had them Mounted. Car previously had Michelin Premier LTXs, and had about 75,000km on them, and were down to 4.5/16 in, and Winter was upon us. The Old Tires, while they would spin when in 2wd, did surprisingly well in awd. In fact, I didn't notice any difference between them and the CC2s in AWD, 2WD was better with the CC2s. What I didn't like was that the Fuel Economy went in the Toilet. The Old Tires were giving me, on average 9.6liters/100km, the CC2s average at best 11.8liters/100km, that is about a 20% less fuel Economy. In city driving, that number shoots up to 14liters/100km. After 6 months of these Gas Guzzlers, and a Nail in the Sidewall, I am replacing them with Michelin Defender2s

I’ve only driven about 100 miles so far, but I’m very happy with these tires. The grip feels solid, and the ride is noticeably more comfortable compared to my previous set (Bridgestone WeatherPeak). I also seem to be getting slightly better mileage already. Overall, great first impression — smooth, quiet, and confidence-inspiring on the road.

Lots of wet weather in Hawaii. Good traction.

After 30000 miles I am told that 2 tires have steel belts that have shifted and must be replaced

Better ride, less noise. Just installed today hoping traction and braking are the same.

Drove the Interstate home and tires had a nice tracking to them.
