When I initially put this tire on my 2020 RAV4 hybrid, it felt noisy and reduced mpg. But after driving for 1000 miles I noticed road noise has decreased significantly and mpg had improved very much. I checked it with a decibel meter. Also the traction in rain is really good.

I live at 5000’ in the northern Sierra Nevada Mountains . My 2018 Subaru Forester limited is very good except OEM tires. Hated switching to studded snow tires , so after much research order a set of CrossClimate tires. They are slightly louder than OEM but much quieter than dedicated studded snow tires. Tires are Magical in snow and ice , so impressed! No more switching to dedicated winter tires. Will sell those . I found my lifetime tires for truly all season and terrain - pavement, dirt/gravel , forest roads , and especially winter snow/ ice.

I am a person that has been told I am OCD over my tires, and I telll my mechanic I am picky when it comes to tires. Having said that, I have put on about 20,000 miles on my CrossClimate 2’s that I made my mechanic go and find and I would buy these again in a heartbeat. Even as they age, the traction and confidence in wet are remarkable almost as if there is no rain or snow below you. Stopping distance is terrific with these tires and they ride like a dream! The only cons that I’ve found are a 3-5% reduction in mpg (I have an HEV) and one tire continuously looses about 5psi 2-6 weeks.

Excellent tires but with two caveats: expect 10% hit on the gas mileage and significant variation in road noise increase depending on the road surface types. I have a hybrid and mileage dropped from 40 average to 36 (verified in 5 full tank cycles). The road noise at or above 60m/h varied on road surfaces in highways, ranging from 60 to 76 dB (while my old Mxv4s had max around 64, with little or no dependency on highway surface types).

An excellent all-season or winter changeup tire for almost any application where rain, ice, and moderate snow are factors (a legitimate 'snowflake', 3PMSF) while maintaining confidence at high speeds, and enhancing certain performance characteristics such as cornering and braking. I just ordered the CrossClimate2 to replace a pair of CrossClimate+ on my [FWD] Mazda, not needing to consider another tire, as I recently chose a set of CrossClimate2 on my [AWD] Lexus IS for the new winter set and I could not be happier with them. You do need to be attentive and work them in properly during the break-in period, as they can be a little loose during that break-in. If you do break them in properly you will have a better chance of being a satisfied Customer, this is true with just about ANY tire. I suspect some of the complaints around these either do not understand that break-in approach and/or received poor advice - or no advice at all, from their Installers. As far as gas mileage and road noise comments go I would disregard those as the performance and safety of these tires far exceed any inconvenience in those areas, I've had dozens of different tires on similar vehicles and these are neither loud nor inefficient gas-wise, long-term. I gained back my MPG and then some with these compared to multiple other brands. My only complaint of sorts would be the tire/tread life, where I have just over 20k on a pair of CrossClimate+ after approximately 2 years. That is very low mileage-wise, however,, they have been great through everything nature has thrown at them and even though they have 3-4/32nd left out of the 9/32nds when new, I'm replacing them early for safety concerns instead of trying to squeeze another season or three out of them, which I probably could, but better safe than sorry. My family drives these cars daily and I'm more comfortable with them having more tread. I am expecting more life out of the CrossClimate2 with 10/32nds new... I will likely post a separate performance-centric review for the CrossClimate2 experience on the Lexus, as I only have a few hundred miles on that vehicle, but so far the results exceed expectations, providing a very stable and consistent ride, better than any of the other tires I've ever had on that Lexus. If anything the tires amplify the driving experience on my vehicles and sometimes that means revealing suspension issues and other inconsistencies in their feedback, the type of precise feedback that less dynamic and responsive tires do not provide. This is another likely limitation of understanding on the part of some CrossClimate Owners.

Bought these in the fall for my 2018 Honda Odyssey. Night and day compared to the original Bridgestones. Excellent manners on the highway in both wet and dry and amazing traction in the snow. These were priced higher than the competition but well worth the money so far especially when you consider the expected treadlife. Great job designing these tires Michelin!

I purchased the Cross Climate 2 tires a couple of months ago. I installed them almost as soon as I got them. The tread looks like it can be an aggressive pattern, but on the highway the car is as quiet as can be. Turning is responsive as well in dry conditions. Living around the Poconos, there are many twisty roads. I can't wait to see what these tires can do in the snow. That was a major reason for the purchase.

Since buying this tire almost 9 months ago, I have been very pleased with its overall performance in Winter and Summer driving. I have however noticed that there is a distinguishable noise level which I had not experienced before with other Michelin tires. It is obvious between 40 to 100 km/hr on the highway and the most noisy around 60 km/hr.

Just got these this week for my 2019 Lexus ES and WOW, what a difference. These tire track like I'm on rails. Steering feedback is greatly improved and the drive is much improved. With the full depth tread, I'm expecting no change in ride quality as they wear. Very glad I chose these.

I am so glad I got the tires when I did. My car is still new and I thought my regular tires would be good enough for the winter here in Upstate New York, but the first hint of frost and I was sliding already. So I got my new CrossClimate tires about a month ago and I went through the foot high snow of our latest snowstorm without any problems.
