These are excellent tires for our 2020 Subaru Outback Touring XT. Comfortable and quiet ride with low noise and good traction. We have not yet had the opportunity to drive in rain or snow yet to judge wet traction, but dry road performance is excellent. We reviewed test results from Consumer Reports and Tire Rack to help selection.

I drive 65k miles a year. The current set of CrossClimate 2 have 80k miles on them. I rotate these tires with each oil change every 5k miles. This set still has 6/32’s tread left on all 4 tires. The all weather traction is amazing. Great traction in the rain reducing hydroplaning and great stopping. I drive a front wheel drive Camry and I was able to safely travel with 6+ inches of snow this year on several occasions. I would not buy another tire knowing the abilities of these tires. I still drive with care during inclement weather but I feel safer knowing I have these tires gripping the highway. All tires are not created equal. These tires were designed for travelers and I’m grateful for them. This is my second Camry with CrossClimates and both sets lasted over 80k before turning in the car. I hate turning in an old car each time for a new car not knowing the abilities of the tires on the new car. These need to be standard equipment on Toyota Camry’s.

My father always used Michelin's, but this is my first set. He was so right. The tires drive beautifully like floating on air. I thought my new car was rough until I had these tires installed. They hold the road extremely well. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I only buy these tires on every car now. They handle any weather rain,snow,ice and extreme heat just fine. I have never hydroplaned in these and they are about 90% as good as winter tires on ice. I used to buy the Toyo style like this but did not like them on the really hot days. If you do not want to deal with storing and changing winter tires, these will do the job.

Replaced our Rav4's factory tires with a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires and immediately noticed a huge improvement in terms of ride comfort and handling. Winter was already over, so we have yet to see how these CrossClimate 2 tires do on snow and ice, but based on the reviews we read and what we have experienced so far, I say "BRING IT ON!!!"

I think that this is a great tire! I replaced my Michelin Defenders with the Cross Climate 2. The traction seems much better and I haven’t noticed a significant interior noise increase from them in comparison. At first, based on some reviews, I had some concerns. Also, no matter the tread left on older tires, I consider the age of a tire to be very important to me. Nearing six years, I will replace older tires. The comfort of these tires is perfectly fine. And, living in Minnesota, the versatility is important to me. A disabled veteran.

I researched and selected these tires for my daughter. She wanted to spend her money wisely. She does a lot of highway driving taking her daughter to basketball games all over Ontario and the neighbouring US states, on highways and back roads and wanted a tire that was safe for all weather situations. The Cross Climate has performed exceptionally well under snowy and rainy conditions. They have stood up well with very little wear showing and provided a comfortable ride with excellent handling. As her father, I am very happy with my suggestion!

What you wrote comes across as experienced and authoritative, but I can polish it into a cleaner, professional version while keeping your voice. Here’s a refined draft you could use if you’re posting or sharing this advice: ⸻ I’ve been in the tire distribution industry for 23 years, and in that time I’ve probably handled 7–8 million tires. Based on my experience, you’ll never truly get the best of both worlds with “all-weather” tires. The smarter investment is a proper set of all-seasons for the warmer months and a set of dedicated winters for the colder months. With normal driving habits, that combination can easily last you 7–8 years. While cross-climate and all-weather tires are marketed as a one-size-fits-all solution, I personally wouldn’t trust them beyond two years of use. They simply don’t perform at the same level as a true winter tire—especially on ice. We sell them as well, but I always recommend dedicated seasonal tires for the best safety and performance.

I did not choose these CC2 tires for my new to me 2011 Volvo S60 T6 AWD. I found them noisy on smooth roads. On paved country roads that are not the best of surfaces you can feel and hear most small bumps. They transfer the noise and feel of road irregularities into the Vehicle cabin. We have purchased many sets of Michelins tires throughout my 60 years of driving. I’m 75 now. We buy Volvos and Mercedes and often have 4 to 5 cars licensed and insured ready to go. These CC2 are very new less than 5000km. I might switch them to another of our cars or hope they wear out soon. In the plus side they have good traction when cornering a bit aggressively. I guess I’ll have to wait until it rains to check out their wet characteristics.

I have finally found the perfect tire (cross climate 2). Living in the Martime's (Canada) which has the most changing weather patterns these tires deliver kilometer after kilometer on my Subaru Ascent, from heat and rain just confident in these tires getting me home safe and sound.
