"Pillow Top" Ride!!

1 month ago, I installed a set of 4 on my 2019 Toyota Highlander. Even just pulling out of the tire lot, I could tell instantly that the ride was incredible. Made a trip from Cincinnati to Myrtle Beach the next day. Highway speeds only reaffirmed that these tires felt like riding on a pillow top mattress! The most comfortable, BEST tires I've ever had, and I've tried ALL high end tires over the years. We did hit the rain storms at highway speeds and these tires did not disappoint! The wet traction was amazing with zero hydroplaning. Of course I drove responsibly in heavy rain but these tires sliced right through heavy highway puddles with ease, with no loss of traction. Vehicle stopping distance has also somehow improved as these tires seem to really stop easier at normal braking. Also at emergency braking... just this week another driver pulled right out in front of me around a curve where I was going about 45mph. I braked hard.. no, I mean hard, like where everything on every seat flies into the floor and your family's faces flash before your eyes. The ABS of course activated, and these tires stopped on a dime! Thank God for Michelin. I've already bought a second set for one of my other vehicles. Thank you Michelin, for making THE best tires I've ever driven on.

Love them!

Have had these CrossClimate 2's on my wife's Subaru Impreza Limited for about a month. No chance to test them on snow or in heavy rain yet, but given her Subaru's great 4-wheel handling in snow, I have high expectations for how these tires will perform. Some reviewers have commented on road noise from these tires, but we've not experienced that at all. They're quiet and comfortable. A couple reviewers mentioned some wandering on grooved pavement, which I've also noticed, but not any worse than the previous Firestone's that came as original equipment. Not a problem in any way. So far, love 'em. I'll update after a snow experience.

VERY SMOOTH RIDE

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!

A great set of tires except for the noise.

I am a faithful Michelin user for 30 plus years (driving 64 yrs) on light pickups, full size cars and mid size cars, utility van, have a Yukon XL 4 WD with 264,000 miles that has never had anything other than Michelin. I have never been disappointed with Michelin tires until now. Put a set of Cross Climate 2 on a 2017 Ford Escape at 51,638 miles and the car handles great, like an expensive sports car. However the tires are excessively noisy to the point I thought something was wrong with the car, the wheels or what ever. I paid three different tire shops to evaluate, one of which is my primary tire dealer and they all concluded nothing wrong with the car, it's the tires. It sounds like a pickup with a cheap set of worn out tires which I have owned before. The Cross Climate 2 will easily last 60,000 miles or more on this vehicle which means we must tolerate the noise another minimum 36,940 miles until time for a new set of tires. The tires perform very well as advertised with the exception of the noise. The noise is disappointing and embarrassing, especially when we have guest onboard. Photos upon request.

Poor economy, Poor feel.

I really dislike these tires. After putting about 2000 miles on them, I've lost about 10% fuel economy (from MXM4). They also transmit a noticeable vibration through the steering wheel, most prevalent on smooth pavement. Finally, I don't feel confident in their lateral grip when pushed a little. The only positive I can come up with is I am surprised at the low noise level considering the lousy road feel. Hopefully they'll redeem themselves in snowy conditions. I definitely would have gone with the MXM4 again (4 stars, winter grip a little wanting) but they were not available when I needed tires (nor are they available now to take advantage of the satisfaction guarantee).

So far so good

I bought these about a month ago after experiencing hydroplaning on the highway on the original tires. As luck would have I experienced a similar rainstorm after having the new tires mounted. They seemed to preform much better. Of course the old tires were worn. The CrossClimate 2s were much quieter than expected given the aggressive tread pattern. The true test will come once snow is on the ground. I'm a skier and looking for better winter traction without the need to swap tires out twice a year.

done at 60,000 km

i like these tires, bought 4 yrs ago for my honda ridgeline. now at 60,00km and they are done. i would say ok in the snow but not great on ice. i mostly drive around toronto, am a conservative driver and very conscientious about service, they were rotated regularly as per warranty although i didn't fill out the forms, i don't see how they get to 100,000km ...

Beautiful and powerful, looks great on my car!

I wanted a tire that will give me confidence to hit the road, my fiancé suggested Michelin! I researched and decided crossclimate2 will do it, I got 4 tires and my car now is as smooth and I never thought it could become! It looks sleek too, thank you!

Better tire than i ever expected

I put these on my 2016 denali XL. My expectation was they would be a good snow tire. I was wrong. They are a freeking awesome snow tire. Excellent traction and handling in snow conditions and this year in California has been a real test. They are quieter and smoother on highways than the OEM tires that came with the Denali.

CrossClimate 2 - Excellent tires

Decided on these for my 2015 Ford Edge Titanium Awd, 245 55 19, and I'm very happy that I did. I was concerned about the tread pattern being noisy but they're quiet. I also read reviews where gas milage dropped, but I'm getting 2mpg more with them. I noticed stopping distance has increased as well as acceleration. I usually buy a mid grade tire but glad I spent a little extra for these. Hope I'm just as impressed with their traction in snow this winter.
