I bought the Cross Climate 2's based on The Tire Rack and Subaru Owners Forums opinions. Most owners of The Subaru Outback replaced their OEM tires with The Cross Climate 2's. I am disappointed that Michelin refuses to offer the updated Cross Climate 3's in the US and we are stuck with the "old" design Cross Climate 2's. I have not driven a great deal over the last three months , perhaps a total of one thousand miles. In my mind it is difficult to give a proper evaluation. My expectations of the tire are better long term durability, adhesion, braking, traction and road noise. So far I have not experienced anything to demonstrate the Cross Climate 2 exceeds the performance of The Vredestein Quatrac 5 that were mounted on my car previously. We shall see.

I am happy to say that these tires have been incredible in every way! I used to roll on CT Extreme Contact tires for years and I am now very happy to have switched. The traction is awesome both on road and off road. The performance in the rain has also given me a greater confidence that my SUV won’t spin out. I recommend this tire to everyone who enjoys both on road and off road driving.

I’ll never buy another type of tire again. Absolutely love these, I just swapped out my old, worn tires for these. When I left the shop, I couldn’t believe driving could feel as good as it does now. The braking feels safer, and I feel like I could drive in 2 feet of snow if I had to. So happy!

I purchased these tires approximately one month ago. Did a some local driving around town and found the handling to be good and the overall comfort and noise level to be acceptable. This past week I did a long distance trip from NY to MI and back that was uneventful with clear driving going, and light snow and rain on the return trip. I would say the tires performed as expected for the entire trip. No surprises, that enabled driver confidence.

I was averaging 40 to 41 miles per gallon in my RAV4 hybrid Limited with the OEM tires. I just installed a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. These handle better than the OEM and are more surefooted on mountain roads. I read other CrossClimate2 owners were getting lower mpg so I raised the inflation 4 psi over the recommended pressure to see if that would help. Even with the higher pressure I'm now consistently averaging 34.5 MPG. 15% lower. EV's and hybrid's get a triple hit from high rolling resistance tires like the CrossClimate 2. First when running on gas only, Second from faster battery drain while using battery power only and a third from a loss in regeneration to recharge the battery when coasting or braking.

When I bought my car in 2019 I swapped the manufacturer's tires for the CrossCimate and put well over 80,000 km on them which included several trips to Florida. They were great tires but wore down so I replaced them with the CrossClimate 2. These tires are a big improvement over the original. Better handling in snow especially when making turns. They're expensive but worth it.

We have two Subarus ... a 2015 Forester and a 2019 Outback. I put CrossClimate 2 tires on the Forester a couple years ago and Indiana had mild winters with little snow so I was disappointed that I never really got to test my new tires in deep snow. They are fine in the rain and spring, summer, and fall. This fall I put CrossClimate 2 tires on my newer Outback and we were pleased from the start with the smooth, quiet ride. Recently Indiana was hit with 14 inches of snow and sun zero temperatures. Going out the 100 foot gravel rural lane to the road was a piece of cake. The next morning the lane had drifted in with more snow, up to two feet in places. The Outback with Subaru's all wheel drive and X mode and new CrossClimate 2 tires thought it was a tank or bulldozer 😂.

We love our new Michelin cross climate 2 tires. We have had these almost 4 months now and have been through many weather tests. Great grip on wet roads and excellent grip in the snow. Braking is very good on both. They run quieter and absorb road abnormalities around the city and on the highway better than the Pirelli tires we had before these. Very smooth. Well worth the slightly higher price than other premium tires in our opinion. Very happy with our purchase.

These tires are incredible. I was very hesitant to put these on my car due to it being sporty and was a little worried once they were installed. After some time driving, I’ve come to fall in love with these tires. My first experience in the snow was eye opening with how well they performed. HIGHLY recommend!

Just got those tires a week ago from Subaru dealership. I drive a Subaru ascent touring. The positive: quiet ride and good grip. The negative: there is an absolutely annoying vibration that occurs at greater than 72 miles. Took it back to the Subaru dealership for rebalancing ( one week tires) . I was told those tires are expected to do that and this is why they don't have it in stock ( they had to get them them from their regional warehouse). I have at least 3 trips of 2 hours plus a month on the Kansas turnpike (75 mph speed limit) and i am REALLY not looking forward for the next 3 years….
