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.

It's like driving an entirely new vehicle! I still can't believe how much better it drives. I'm no longer afraid to drive around in snow & rain. Purchased these for a 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan that only has 60k miles on it. I work from home. I live in the Illinois.

The tires have literal decimated the electric range of my Chrysler Pacifica PHEV. I wish that we, in North America, could buy the European Cross Climate 2 tire in the H speed rating. This tire has the best rating for rolling resistance in Europe. Sadly Michelin has decided for us that rolling resistance is not important and that we shouldn't be able to buy those tires here. I doesn't hurt that tire manufacturers are NOT required to divulge rolling resistance performance in the US, as they are in Europe.

Great year-round tire. I live in the mountains of Northern California where we get tons of snow, often deep snow. I sold my winter tires as the CC2's perform well enough on my SQ5 I now don't need the annual change-over. Currently 45,000 miles on them and looking like at least another 15,000 left on them. More than three times what I was getting out of the Sport Pilots that came with the car. No noticeable difference in mpg or road noise. Very happy with these tires and recommend them.

My CC2s have 92,000 miles on them. Current wear pattern is perfect, 4/32 left. A smooth ride still. Road noise is relative to type of road but generally mostly quiet. only issue was a slight hydro plane during moderate rain fall which i experienced from date of purchase. Didn't go over 70mph during rain. 4/5 traction in snowfall. Type of car 2014 bmw wagon 328i xdrive. Michigan /Ohio resident.

I have these tires now for little over a year on my 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid Sport. Some reviews were saying the tires are a bit noisy, but honestly I did not notice that. All I notice is great grip on rainy drives and I also tested them on the snow here in WNC. The grip and braking also in the snow was excellent. Couldn't be happier and order a new set for my 2010 Subaru Impreza STi just today.

Waiting on Winter. They look good feel good and the promise of mileage to come is appealing. Living in Canada the true test will come with Winter. Previously lived a couple of hours north of Toronto and changed to full winter every year, now in Oakville and banking on CC2s to deliver a solid safe rain, slush and snow performance.

Only about 300 miles so far but very satisfied. I don't understand the noise criticism being good and bad...can't be both but my limited experience is they are not overly noisy. Traction is not criticized by anyone so I'm expecting that to continue this winter in Illinois. So far so good!

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.

Les meilleurs pneus que j'ai eu. Je les ai eu 2 hivers sur une voiture de tourisme et j'ai acheté les même de pneu pour ma deuxième voiture. Plus besoin de se casser la tête à changer de pneus 2 fois par année. En plus lors des grosse pluie ont ne sent pas la voiture tirer d'un côté ou de l'autre dans les grosse flaque d'eau.
