Just got the crossclimate 2 tires yesterday. Handling and the ride is amazing. The noise is the same as my old worn out tires on asphalt sounds like mudding tires. The balance out is the performance outweighs the sounds. They ar not quiet tires by any means. However ride and handling is far superior. Come on Michelin make the cross climates quiet down without sacrificing performance.

I bought the Cross Climate 2's based on The Tire Rack and Subaru Owners Forums opinions. Most owners of The Subaru Outback replaced their OEM tires with The Cross Climate 2's. I am disappointed that Michelin refuses to offer the updated Cross Climate 3's in the US and we are stuck with the "old" design Cross Climate 2's. I have not driven a great deal over the last three months , perhaps a total of one thousand miles. In my mind it is difficult to give a proper evaluation. My expectations of the tire are better long term durability, adhesion, braking, traction and road noise. So far I have not experienced anything to demonstrate the Cross Climate 2 exceeds the performance of The Vredestein Quatrac 5 that were mounted on my car previously. We shall see.

What are difference tires make! I bought these for my Scion XD, and I notice a difference is most aspects of my driving. I also bought wheels that were slightly wider. The grip is so different. My car is more steady, and doesn't shift at the slightest twist of the steering wheel. I have better traction in cornering, even at low speeds. The ride is smooth and quiet! In the rain, I've had no issues and dont feel.like i have to try to avoid standing water in ruts. I have better traction taking off. These tires make a difference across all aspects of driving and so far in different conditions too! I have more confidence in my car and handling ability! I didn't know new tires would be this impactful!

Handles better on wet roads the most tires do on dry roads. Also gives a softer ride without feeling bouncy.

The tires look great on my vehicle. The ride is very smooth. Handling is excellent especially on turns in the rain I would buy these again.

Great winter tire. Around 25000 mile they began getting progressively louder. It's now intolerable. Replacing.

Tires work great in the snow of Pennsylvania. The Tires provide a nice smooth quiet ride. Excellent tire.

Shopped every tire on the market and this CC2 is the top of market for my SUV. Smooth, quiet, excellent traction. Made a different car out of it. Love them and recommend them for all SUVs and sedans.

Installed on 2012 flex. Quieter ride than previous Michelin defenders. Only on a short time not sure of durability or performance or durability. Handles well in rain so far.

These are all I have put on my Tesla Model S and they normally last between 60,000 - 65,000 miles with proper inflation and rotations. Great braking, consistent tire wear and good adhesion and traction in wet weather.
