I travelled yesterday in one of my most adventurous drives along the snowstorm direction from Chicago to Detroit. I94 was a combination of slosh pit and fresh accumulated snow at various stretches. Michigan roads were bad to start with. But this tire (and some driving skills, well tire mainly) kept me going at 65 to 70 MPH in that snow and gave me a lot of confidence to drive over. As some users have noted can't speak of its performance well into its life but these were installed 2 months ago and had very less mileage on them as of writing this review. If you hit a heap of snow as in when changing lanes though - because of the way the tire is grooved to let a lot of rain and snow flow outwards you will see a significant slowdown than other tires. It is good if you are in control and have no vehicle around but bad if you are in a traffic. Just the driver has to account for this change in performance style compared to other tires (Ex: Michelin Defender). Another major downside of this tire is on grooved roads - it becomes wobbly thanks to the non continuous contact patch type tread design but isnt dangerous in anyway. Same goes for snow. And despite that wobbliness, cornering in this is a hoot. If these downsides don't bother you, this tire is brilliant and the tread design aesthetic gets full points from me.

Phenomenal tires. Great traction in the snow. Sure grip. Noticeable change in acceleration. Performance is far improved. Yes, there is a difference in gas mileage. I’m posting a photo of the 12 month gas mileage performance. That being said, the trade off is worth it. Also posting a photo of the tracks in the snow. With the Bridgestones that I had on the car, I accelerated in the snow and slammed on the breaks. The car swerved. Did the same move with the Michelin tires, and a sure grip. See the tracks and you’ll see the sure grip. I’m very pleased with these.

Bought these tire about 4 months ago. Yesterday, I traveled to Mankato, MN and encountered a spring snow storm with fairly heavy snow fall. We saw 10 cars in the ditch! In one case, we were directly behind a sedan that spun out in a curve ahead of us. We were the same speed as that car and did not feel any loss of traction! Our speed was approximately 45. I did take my foot off the gas as we watched him slide sideways, coming to a stop in a driveway. At no time did I feel any twitchy or loss of adhesion to the road surface! I highly recommend these tires in snow country! These tires are slightly rougher riding and noisier than my previous all season tires but do not change my rating at all, these tires may save your life!

Excellent grip (accelerating and braking) and ride in all conditions. First road trip MN->SD this past summer was a pleasure on both dry and wet roads. Recently had a 20” snowfall this winter and again was very pleased with all aspects of the tires.

I bought these tires from Tire Discounters because they give you a free alignment when you buy a set from them. Crossclimate2 truly do grip the road in wet or dry road. The stopping power is incredible. I hope thee do not get discontinued for years to come. They look aggressive which is why I purchased them and they do deliver in performance.

I researched for a tire that was good for all four seasons and just not an all season radio radial tire but something that performs great in like even deep snow or hot Arizona sons son. I was looking for a tire that had great traction ratings on dry and wet conditions, all season, snow rated and good for the Arizona heat. This tire was really the only one that had all those parameters along with the high mileage, 60k long lasting. I had them installed today and my first impression is OMG! These tires are so quiet, the ride is so smooth, when you go over a manhole cover kind of thing you can’t even feel it, it just feels like you’re right you’re sitting on a cloud and again it is just so freaking quiet. Tomorrow we’re expecting snow and rain in the mountains of Arizona I am eager to try them on the roads for their lack of hydroplaning and their ratings for wet and snow I wanna see how it works on the back roads of a big snowpacked off road and then also driving on the highway puddles for hydroplaning I am hoping my impression and my excitement still holds up. I don’t see any reason why they will not. I strongly recommend these tires especially for SUVs I own a Subaru 2019 Forrester sport

I read reviews and expected these tires to perform well and I have not been let down. By far the wet weather performance is better than I could have thought. On roads I used to hydroplane on I drive on through with control, albeit still trying to drive to the conditions! I hit some unexpected pooling on the highway and safely navigated through.

We have a New Pathfinder and New Qx60. We put the cross climates on the qx60 and the defender on the Pathfinder. We put them on them one day apart so both tires are New. The ride comfort and mpg with the defender is much better. The cross climate is much harder noiser and eats fuel. Unless you are I'm major snow alot the defender is a better every day tire. The cross climate is mire of a sport tire with great winter performance. We are going to switch them out for the defender this week.

AMAZING. I put these on my 2017 Vw Golf (currently living in San Diego, CA) but moving to northern Maine in a month. After reading the reviews I decided on these tires and immediately noticed a huge difference. They are SO QUIET and they handle so well. You can tell they have quick response with starting/stopping and amazing grip. Usually with cruise control on going approx. 65-70mph I get about 39-41mpg and with these new tires I now get 37-39mpg so not much of a difference. They are aggressive tires so no you aren't going to get perfect MPG however some other reviewers are being dramatic. Overall these tires are fantastic and worth every penny. Don't hesitate to buy these.

I purchased these tires for my 2013 Chevy Volt back in November 2020. My car had about 110,000 miles on it, and this is the 3rd set of tires. I get about 33 miles on pure electric driving, and I was getting about 36 miles on pure electric. I now have about 5,000 miles on these tires, and I am still hoping it goes back to the 36 miles. The tires have excellent traction-on the other sets, the tires would squeal sometimes. With the new tires-I don't get any squealing. The ride is much more comfortable as compared to the Michelin Defender.
