I live on Vancouver Island were we only saw about 4 dumps of wet snow this year but heavy rains monthly. I was very impressed with the handling in both. The car has never hydro planed and the traction is superb in the snow. One morning I drove down a very steep hill that had not been sanded and covered in ice and snow to a friends place on the ocean. I then had to return up his steep driveway covered in a foot of snow, stop and await his gate to open. I then was able to start up without the tires loosing traction. I then drove up this same icy snow covered hill with no slippage. The tires are very quite and the only negative I have found is that my fuel economy is down slightly from my previous tires, a small price to pay considering my peace of mind I get from this purchase. I strongly recommend these tires.

When I bought my SUV, first thing I did is go to my tire shop for Michelin tires. I wanted Defenders which I have and love on my truck, but they didn’t come in my new SUV’s size. As we’re in the Pacific Northwest, the shop suggested the Cross Climate 2. It’s been several years of great driving in rain, snow, on gravel roads, lots of mountain roads (where black ice can be unavoidable), and these tires never give me pause. I just brought my car in for the tires to be rotated at 40K mikes, and the shop said my tires have lots of wear left; plus the wear is nice and even. The only downside is that I’ve lost several mpg in fuel efficiency, but when I’m safely driving 4,000 ft mountain passes in driving rain or snow, that seems like a fair trade off.

Wasn't sure about the tread design but I listened to the tire dealers advise. He was right, they are quiet, great traction, outstanding warranty and really cool looking. I would buy these tires again and I'm very particular when it comes to my vehicles.

Bought the CrossClimate2 in 2023 and used them less than a month because although they had good road handling, they were very noisy, rough and did not provide a smooth ride. I replaced them with the Pilot Sport 4S and am satisfied, but nothing ever came close to the Premier A/S I purchased in 2019. The Premier A/S were the best ever in ALL aspects 10/10! Unfortunately Michelin does not make the Premier A/S anymore for cars.

Bought a few weeks ago based on recommendations for winter weather handling. Last 4 inch snow, temperatures around 0F where roads tend to not be as slick - sliding on a low speed curve. Kicked sideways by 6-8 inch drifts elsewhere. I’d rate winter traction as poor.

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.

Purchased a set of CrossClimate 2 tires in September of 2022 for my 2012 Volvo XC90 to replace a set of worn Michelin Defenders which were great tires lasting 65,000 miles. My XC90 has 208,000 miles. 1 year and 40,000 miles later, the tires are at 7/32 with even wear. I perform rotations and balancing (if needed) every 5,000 miles. These tires have been AMAZING. They are quiet, provide amazing performance, and are wearing very well. I live in Minnesota and travel to Salt Lake City/Park City frequently. These tires are almost as good in the snow/ice as the Blizzaks I have on my 2017 Volvo XC90 in the cold months. Last winter was brutal, so drove many miles through a lot of snow/ice/slush/rain and had absolutely zero problems. They are PHENOMENAL in snow and rain, and great highway tires. They have tolerated chains in the mountains without any unusual wear. I have not had any decrease in fuel economy. I like them so much, I just replaced the Defenders on my other XC90 with a set of CrossClimate 2 tires. When it’s time, I’ll also put a set on my 2018 Volvo V60. Reading other reviews, I was reluctant to try these, but obviously my experience has been great. Perhaps my priorities are different because of the frequent severe weather I experience, but I love these tires.

I bought the cross climate 2s for my VW GTI and the suv version for my BMW X5 and I was able to finally test it in the snow. Everything that I expected from the reviews. Felt completely in control on the roads. Pay a little more to get the best performance. Great investment!

I purchased these new tires for my 2019 All-Wheel Drive Hyundai Tucson Limited, I travel 40K miles per year on average and experience all types of weather, Rain, Snow, and Ice. These tires are amazing the traction in all conditions is incredible! I could not be more satisfied with the Cross Climate

Love the feel of the ride. Haven’t had them long enough to know how they do in bad weather. I was somewhat hesitant to buy them because the set of Michelins that came on my car only lasted 36,000 miles. These tires have a longer warranty. I don’t know if new cars come with a lower quality tire or not. A friend of mine had to replace his Michelin tires at 39,000 miles. Hoping for the best!
