Lower MPG

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.

jbassoc, you make some good points, also new tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires.  As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases.  Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve. In addition, there is also the Michelin Promise Plan that offers a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your new set of Michelin tires, just return to the selling retailer to exchange them for a new set of equal or lesser value.

Perfect replacement tires for our 2023 Honda CRV

We chose the CrossClimate2 tires because they were very highly rated by Consumer Reports where they highlighted the performance, traction and durability. We have now owned and driven on these tires for nine months and could not be happier with them. We get a lot of different weather with occasional very heavy rainfall and even snowfall over a foot at times. These tires perform extremely well in all occasions and we are particularly impressed with the traction of these tire in snow and heavy rainfall. In fact, when the factory tires have worn out on our new Honda Ridgeline truck, we will be replacing them with the CrossClimate2's.

Awesome tires!! The best. Michelin is tht way to go. Great performance. No road noise and better handling. They look great on my car. Superior quality.

I just bought these tires to replace my old tires from 2008 on my Infiniti with 26,300 miles in my car. I spent days shopping for a great tire. Michelin definitely makes the best tires in the world. Been using them for 40 years. These are higher price but well worth it. No road noise at all. Same gas mileage. These are awesome tires. They definitely work very well in all types of weather. I love how they handle and look. They look sporty on my crossover SUV. Most mechanics recommend these if you can afford them. You get what you pay for. Superior quality. Highly recommend.

Great grip and wet traction.

Had the MXMs one tire got shredded by a pothole and I decided to get whole new set of tires, got the CrossClimate2 and man do these tires perform on hot highway pavement, keeps you firmly planted especially on cornering,excellent handling in the rain also .I live in a 4 seasons climate and looking forward to testing them.out on the snow a little more noisy tham the MXMs but easy tradeoff for the grip and traction they look awesomealso . Great tires !

Don’t Buy These Tires!

Tires are great when they are new, now I have had them for 2 years I will never buy Michelin tires again. Tire were great the first and part of the second year. Now they howl and extremely noisy, worse than aggressive pickup tires. Also I had the tires rotated every 5,000 miles. DO NOT BUY THE CROSSCLIMATE TIRES!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the increased noise you’ve experienced over time. Tire noise is often associated with irregular tread wear. This type of wear may be influenced by factors such as rotation intervals, vehicle condition, wheel alignment or tire and wheel balance. We recommend visiting an authorized tire dealer so the tires and vehicle can be properly inspected and give us a call with the results. Our number is 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Hate the noise and vibration of these Crossclimate tires

Just had them installed on BMW X5. Hate them. The normally quiet cabin hums and vibrates because of these new tires. I should have put new versions of the Pirell Scorpions on. Was hoping to take advantage of the added traction in snow, but will replace these tomorrow. It is intolerable!

Vibrates at high speed

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….

A Happy Customer

I have been very pleased with the CrossClimate2 tires, the 4th set I have purchased. They have served well as a winter tire in the north Georgia mountains, effective in the rain, and good driving characteristics in all conditions. The tread is on a trend pattern to exceed the warranty. I am pleased with the safety and stopping features. My only complaint would be the price, but I also got a rebate from both the retailer and the manufacturer to ameliorate that. So no comkplaints from a happy customer.

Impressive tires

Tires were just mounted on 6/17/26. Somewhat early to talk about wear but I notice a big difference in handling and ride already. Specs are highly rated and Michelin reputation speaks for itself. I have used them on other vehicles in the past all the way back to the mid '70s when radials were just coming into their own.

We loved 'em!

Great tire! Our granddaughter has the vehicle now. But I miss the original Defender. They were a great tire. Although I think the CrossClimate 2 may be a great tire, it simply cannot replace the original defender for longevity. But we loved them and I will soon replace the OEM Pirelli tires on our replacement vehicle with the CC2!
