Best tire I ever bought. I know I just put them on, but my immediate reaction was wow! These tires are so soft and quiet, it's hard to believe you're traveling at freeway speed. There is no road noise. The ride is like driving on a road of cotton. I read reviews ad nauseam. I kept going back and forth between the CrossClimate SUV, CrossClimate2, and the Primacy MXM4. I believe I made the right choice. Time will tell how well these wear and how smooth and quiet they remain, but initially, these are great tires.

Drove 17,000 miles cross country on these tires. They are good for paved roads, but the moment you hit any sort of gravel drivway, dirt road to campground or sandy path they REALLY suck. My car is not an offroad vehicle but on occasion we would have to take a gravel road or drive to an established campsite on dirt or sand these tires have horrible traction. The whole car shifts side to side when breaking. I have not used these in the snow but I don't plan to as they cannot even handle a little sand in the street.

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 these last fall to get me through the winter. I drive 90 miles round trip to and from work and you can never be sure what the weather is going to do. As far as winter traction they are amazing. The ride is smooth and quiet. I would highly recommend this tire unless you are looking for good fuel economy. I have lost almost 8 mpg since installing these. The roll resistance must be pretty high to drop my fuel mileage by that much. Very disappointing considering the cost and the fact they are Michelins. But if you want great traction, ride comfort, and a quiet ride, look no further...

Wowzer, in just 3 months, I have 7,000+ miles on my new CrossClimate 2's! They were driven in some heavy rain and they are incredibly sticky, as I experimented with some sharp turns in the rain. They are also so very quiet at all speeds. Plus, they attract a lot of attention when people notice the very unique tread pattern.

Purchased these to replace P7 Cinturato all seasons. Wet and dry traction are great. Low noise. Firm / responsive feel. Made in USA for my size. (215/60/16). The given warranty along with the 3PMSF winter rating is what sold me on these tires. Price seems reasonable given the warranty and excellent reviews.

I've only had these for a couple days on my Chrysler 300C and have driven over 800 miles on them already and it has been the best change of tires I have done since buying my car new. These are super quieter that my previous Firestones, ride quality has improve too, living in Florida with all this rain daily lately makes these CrossClimate2 a must have for cars like mine that are big and heavy plus RWD with a big HEMI to go...One other thing I notice was my cornering and take off have greatly improved too. All I have is praises for these tires. This week I will be heading to NY and will let you all know how they handle it once I am back.

I bought these tires just before going on a 3300 mile trip. They performed well. Speed limits varied between 55 mph and 80 mph. The tires held the road nicely and I felt comfortable at any speed. I was particularly pleased with the performance in an unexpected September snow storm when leaving Yellowstone. The temperature was 33 degrees with about 4 inches of unplowed snow going over Sylvan Pass. Lower speed as expected but curves and changes in elevation were managed well. I was really glad I had my new tires!

Not wanting to buy separate winter tires for our new Bronco Sport Badlands, I changed the OEM tires for CrossClimate2's. Toronto just had the worst blizzard in years, but these tires took it in stride, was able to drive on unplowed roads with up to 30CM of snow like it was there. Definitely putting a set on my other vehicle.

I am happy that I bought these tires...after a lot of research... and discussions with tire dealers who always confirmed they were rated best for snow and ice, and rain and clear roads too. I'm not driving much these days but when I do my 2012 Ford Flex handles better and more quietly than it ever did. I forget I was concerned about my tires. I've been a Michelin customer for 60 + years and they never let me down. As a bonus, they qualify on insurance as Winter tires.
