Michelin has always been my go to tires, but I am getting a bit frustrated with its thread life. Put on Premier LTX before the Cross Climate 2. While the Premier LTX lasted only lasted 36,718 miles instead of the promised 60,000 miles in nearly three years of use, the Cross Climate 2 only saw 30,000 miles before the dealer refused to service them. After switching to the more expensive Cross Climate 2 with deeper threads, I thought I would get longer life but alas, here we are after only 30,000 miles of use and threads are already below 2/32" according to the dealer. While the tires are good otherwise, thread life of 30000 for tires with a promise of 60000 miles is simply not acceptable. Basically crapping out at half the warranty distance in less than 20 months (1 year - 8 months) of us. Micheline essentially replaced their discontinued Premier line with a less durable product and reduced the warranty distance so they do not have to cover warranty

At 105,000 miles, I needed new tires for my 2019 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum. I looked at a lot of tire recommendations and reviews. I was looking for something with high marks in snow and ice traction. I was also price-conscious, but wanted the best tire. These were the top-rated tires, according to Consumer Reports. What really convinced me to spend more money on these tires was that in the CR testing, these tires lasted 95,000 miles for excellent durability. Right after having them installed, my wife and I drove over to Madison for a Christmas music concert. As we drove there, snow started falling. I noticed a different sound from these tires that is distinct because of the unique pattern. They felt very comfortable. It was on the way home that they paid for themselves. By the time we left the concert, over 4" of snow had fallen. Our drive home was mainly on 2-lane state highways. I reduced the speed for the environment, and these tires performed perfectly. There were a lot of cars in the ditch on our drive home. By the time we got to the last few miles, the snow was 6-8" deep and unplowed on the county roads that were the last miles to our house. I look that they will be a very veratile tire when we get the the warmer weather and rains.

The best tires for my Subaru Ascent. I am on my second set of the cross tires. I got 94000 on my first set and they still had some life left. I’m on my second set now with 25000 miles and they still look new and perform fantastic. The sure foot tracking both on rain and snow is amazing! Worth the price!

I’m using Michelin CrossClimate 2 in size 235/65 R17 on an Audi Q5 quattro (SUV). Overall, the tire performs very well in dry conditions and also handles regular rain without any issues. For everyday driving on wet or dry asphalt, the stability and comfort are good. However, the tire shows serious limitations as soon as there is wet snow or slush on the road, especially around +2°C. Braking performance becomes very weak, and the car tends to slide forward even at low speeds, around 15–30 km/h. In these conditions, the tire simply cannot provide sufficient grip, and stopping distances become dangerously long. Because of this, I was forced to purchase a new set of proper winter tires, as continuing to drive with the CrossClimate 2 in these conditions poses a real risk of an accident and serious danger. A similar issue appears when the road is only slightly damp after light rain during colder autumn/winter days — braking and stopping distances noticeably increase, even when driving slowly. Conclusion: Excellent tire for dry, wet, and mild winter conditions, but not reliable in slush, wet snow, or low temperatures. If you live in an area where wet snow is common, this tire may not be a safe choice during winter.

Tire wore out in with steel radial bands showing & broken in about 1,800 miles and four months. My car was 4-wheel aligned before tires installed.

I love these tires. They are a grate value and excellent traction. I feel really safe and connected to the road surface.

The ride and improved traction exceeded what I was expecting. Winter driving was far less stressful.

Put them in and smoothest 125 mile trip I have had in a long time. Felt like I was driving a new Subaru Forester again.

These tires are fantastic! We have had a harsh winter here in Cleveland where the Michelin cross climates tires passed the test. Performed as well as snow tires on our other car.

The first year I drove my new used 2020 SUV with original tires, very poor traction. Then I purchased 4 Cross Climate 2 A/W BW. They are well worth it, now I have very good traction in this northwest Ohio weather.
