Gas Guzzling Tires

I am disabled and have a wheelchair accessible vehicle. I bought a set of the CrossClimate 2 tires because of the reviews of their winter performance and to eliminate the need for seasonal tire changes. I read about the decreased gas mileage but that didn't seem unreasonable given the tire formulation has to be able to adapt to temperatures year round. The decreased gas mileage was much more extreme than I thought it would be. At this point, I wish I would have bought the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail, which was my other option.

Michelin Has done it again

Long time Michelin Tire Buyer, I've had the AT & Defenders on many model vehicles. Wife has 2016 Toyota Sienna AWD Limited. OEM came with Run flats which were noisy and hard. I changed to Defenders which is a great tire. With 63,000 miles we just installed Cross Cimate 2 size 235-55/18. Michelin knocked it out of the park with these tires. Feels like I'm driving a luxury 80k SUV now. Smooth, Quiet and tons of control. I can not believe how quiet and smooth they ride. We live in Florida but also spend a lot of time in the Mountains of NC. NO snow yet but Ill report once we do. Im pretty confident they will perform. Thank You Michelin.

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!

Gas Mileage Suffers

Did not know about the hit my 2021 Camry XLE' gas mileage was about to take when I bought. Buying a hybrid car was an attempt to get great mileage, and now the average is about 3 MPG lower. No other complaints about these tires, but I would not have bought them (Nov 2023) if I had known the mileage would degrade.

Hurts gas mileage

I bought a set of four of these tires for my 2017 VW Golf. The previous tires were OEM provided Continental ProTrack TX with about 40,000 miles on them. The old tread was getting low but still acceptable for Mass inspections. They also seemed to have developed a flat spot which was noticeable at low and high speeds. The Cross Climate 2 got very good review but in hindsight I don't recall seeing anything about highway mileage. On a trip I regularly make of about 70 miles with 60 highway, I would average 40-42 mpg. Now with these new Cross Climate 2 tires I only get 35-38 mpg. So after paying a top of the line tire I am going to continue to pay more every fill up through loss in gas mileage.

So so all weather tires

Purchased tires in January 2022- 45,000 kms on them. Traction is good on wet & dry roads. I find them noisy compared to all season tires- my expectations may not be realistic. Mounted on 19" aluminum Honda OEM rims- continually leak air in all seasons- maybe rims are at fault. Nevertheless will swap out to a smaller rim and tire with all season capability

Good traction and cornering

I’ve had my tires for a couple months and have put about 3,000 miles on them. I find they are quiet, have great grip and corner well. The only downside is they have reduced my Fusion hybrid’s mpg about 5%. Guess that’s the tradeoff for the good traction.

Rman21, thanks for providing feedback regarding your experience with CrossClimate 2 tires. Sorry to hear about your mpg's decreasing. 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.

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.

Excellent Tire

Purchased the CrossClimate2 tires for my 2020 Subaru Ascent four months ago. A big improvement over the tires that came with the car. They are less noisy and handle better. I haven’t driven them on snow or ice, but I expect that they will perform well in those conditions.

Magical in Snow/ice

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.
