Bought these as an alternative to snow tires since the reviews said they were good in the snow. They are absolute garbage in the snow. I would say the same as an all season and now I need to go buy snows as I don’t feel safe driving in the snow with them. Otherwise happy in other conditions but being in Canada, I really wanted them to be snow worthy.

Got them put on yesterday and noticed a huge difference in the ride and handling of my Honda Pilot SE. I am looking forward to not changing tires in the winter as I live in Quebec and they are approved for use in the snow. I also spend 6 months in Florida and the tires can handle the heat as well. Well worth the price!

This tire (and its predecessor the +) has gotten rave reviews by Tire Rack, Consumer Reports, and others. When Michelin came out with some new sizes in February 2021 I figured it was time to give them a shot. I had already replaced the tires on my wife's Subaru Forester with CC+ before the CC2 were available. So far, I really like these tires. At 245/55R18, they are 20mm wider than the OEM tires (225/60R18) so they give more grip than either the OEM Yokohamas or the Michelin Premier A/S tires they replaced.

I was a little nervous to buy these because Tesla recommends putting the same tires that came with the car. After doing lots of research and taking feedback from other users on the site from current Tesla owners, plus the tire shop I got these from, I decided to go with these tires. As far as road noise and the complaints, I’m confused because if anything I am finding these tires are quieter than the OEM ones that came from Continental. These also look great. Have not driven in the rain or snow yet but my biggest concern was road noise and I can assure you that is a non-issue if anything these might be slightly quieter.

These are terrific tires, let me tell you. Dry, wet, snow - conquers them all. I used to have Toyo Celsius All-Weather and the Cross Climate 2 was my 2nd set. If I am just comparing the two, it's not even in the same league. My experience with the Toyo tires was terrible in wet conditions. It just felt so unsafe to drive the car; in fact I rear-ended another car just because it had such bad grip in wet condition. That experience made me reluctant to get another All Weather. Since I had a good experience with Michelin in the past and know they are one of the top brands, I decided to go for it one more time. And I can tell you, the grip in all conditions have been great so far, way way way better than the Toyo. It may seem unfair to compare from my old car, a front wheel drive sedan (Toyo) to new car, AWD SUV (Michelin), but the braking says it all. No matter what car you drive, the braking is the same - or in fact worse for AWDs since they are heavier. With the Michelin on, I have no fear of driving even in wet conditions, and in fact even feel confident. The one minor downside is tires are slightly noisier than the stock for me. But performance justifies this minor issue. In all, these are the "almost-perfect" set of tires for practical use.

Installed on a BMW X3. Mediocre as a snow tire at best. Came from Continentals Viking 7s and figure I could get by a single winter since they're labelled as an All Weather Tire. They are not a replacement for proper winter tires. Noticeably less traction off the line, straight line traction, and more importantly, during turns. In fair weather conditions (dry), fuel mileage was comparably worse than the Michelin Pilot AS3+ that it replaced which was surprising since that tire was fantastic in the dry and in the rain. Overall, not impressed.

All four tires had sidewall separation prior to reaching 60,000 miles. They were only two and a half years old. I had at least another years worth of tread left. The traction they offered was great, I never got stuck in the snow after getting these tires. Originally these tires were so good, I recommended them to family and friends. Four of them bought the tires. I am no longer recommending these tires. I received zero support from michelin, I was told it is probably ozone damage....2 1/2 year old tire.

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.

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.

I originally bought four for a Honda CRV in August 2022. Since then I've lost three tires to non-replaceable punctures and had five repairable punctures. Driving is on main thoroughfares and suburban streets (no construction in my area). I drive the same areas with my pickup and have no problems. These tires seem to pick up and hold every piece of metal they come across. Having just lost my third tire, I replaced them with something else.
