Incredible amounts of snow traction. Initially a bit rough when you buy them, but after about 500 miles or so they feel just fine. We got some heavy snow here and I took them up several steep hills in a FWD Passat, zero issues. incredible stopping distance When you need to come to a stop on snow and ice. They are a bit pricey but consider this, its half the cost of owning a pair of all season and winter tires. I am sold for life.

I got these tires last Dec 2022 for the winter and rain in Olympic Peninsula area… we live in a very steep hill 600ft straight up from the main road, and we had the worst winter in history with some Seattle frozen roads on my work days… it worked perfect! I am glad I never skid or slide on those days. Even had this on a winter storm when we had a family emergency drive to British Columbia and with my dual motor Tesla model 3, we never had a problem. I am glad this was recommended by an agent during my tire rotation in 2021, I looked it up and changed last 2022.

I've about 3000 miles on these tires on our Lexus ES 350 and have been disappointed with the ride and quietness. The tires feel hard on bumpy roads and make a moderate amount of noise on all roads. The traction seems good in all conditions. My son-in-law got the same tires on their Honda Odyssey and states his ride is soft and they are quiet compared to the snow tires he had on it.

I purchased these Cross Climate 2's for my wife's 2013 Ford Edge in 2021. We have always been Michelin fans but these are noisy. Yesterday she replaced her Michelin snow tires with these and I went with her on a long drive to the eye doctor and I could not believe how noisy these were. She had told me last year they were noisy but I didn't pay attention but I sure am now. I read reviews where clients said they were quiet, so I was very surprised today and yes, I apologized for not listening to her. She wants rid of them so we will be looking at another quieter set (They will be Michelin).

Just had these tires put on my 2022 Airstream Atlas as i was going do some driving in the snow. Just drove from South Carolina to Northern Michigan with the last 4 hours in a blizzard. Cant say enough about how the tires performed....Airstream should make them standard

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.

I purchased these CrossClimate2 tires to replace my beloved Michelin Premier A/S which served me well for many years. Who knew a tread pattern could be this good-looking? Already tried in rain and shine, on rough and slick; love the sure-footed feeling and good stopping I am getting.

Great in traction in rain. Was constantly hydroplaning in previous performance tires. Now I Cruze right through everything. Great snow performance as well and I would even say have better traction than the snow tires I had on before. Also, reduced a lot of the road noise I had with performance tires. Traction in dry conditions is also great as well.

I am beyond happy with these tires. I purchased my SUV slightly used and the previous owner put Michelin CrossClimate 2 directional tires on right before he traded it in. I’ve had my vehicle for 2 years and am constantly impressed by them. Fantastic traction and performance in our Canadian winter even on ice. Plows through deep heavy snow like nobody’s business. And in the summer and rain they are good as well, also great performance on gravel roads (although I’m not sure of the wear if you were to do them regularly). When I trade in this one, I will be purchasing a set for my new ride, VERY good tires-BUY THEM!!!

I read all the reviews but hardly any had the same vehicle as mine so it was a tough decision but I went with the crossclimate2 because of tire racks testing numbers. I have roughly 5,000 miles on them and they so far are the best tires I’ve owned. I replaced Mich MXV4 which were the OE but these crossclimate out perform them by far. They improved road handling,have very little road noise , are excellent in the rain and I’m still getting 35 mpg out of the V6 … the only question left to answer is how long with they last .The MXV4 lasted me 65k if these last that long I will be extremely happy.
