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...

I bought these tires in September, 2020. The tread pattern had me intrigued but unsure. Winter control conventionally comes from a deep tread, soft rubber compound, and lots of sipes. The croosclimate2 does not look like that but it has proven itself so far. The tire resisted hydroplaning during the fall rains and does not show the usual resistance when going through puddles at highway speeds. So far, December, we have had very little snow, 3", but it handled it very well. The freezing rain and ice have been an issue this year and these tires have out-performed my Michelin defenders. I realize that the two are not in the same performance class but I have always had great service from the Defenders, T&H. Crossclimates are an excellent option if you are not going to purchase a dedicated winter tire. We sould be seeing -25°C at Christmas. I don't believe I will be disappointed. ☆ It should also be mentioned that the mountain snowflake symbol, according to my research, signifies a minimum improvement in traction of 10% over all-season tires. This may not sound like alot but it is a minimum of 10%, and the Crossclimate2 are noticeably better than all-seasons. Stay safe.

1 month ago, I installed a set of 4 on my 2019 Toyota Highlander. Even just pulling out of the tire lot, I could tell instantly that the ride was incredible. Made a trip from Cincinnati to Myrtle Beach the next day. Highway speeds only reaffirmed that these tires felt like riding on a pillow top mattress! The most comfortable, BEST tires I've ever had, and I've tried ALL high end tires over the years. We did hit the rain storms at highway speeds and these tires did not disappoint! The wet traction was amazing with zero hydroplaning. Of course I drove responsibly in heavy rain but these tires sliced right through heavy highway puddles with ease, with no loss of traction. Vehicle stopping distance has also somehow improved as these tires seem to really stop easier at normal braking. Also at emergency braking... just this week another driver pulled right out in front of me around a curve where I was going about 45mph. I braked hard.. no, I mean hard, like where everything on every seat flies into the floor and your family's faces flash before your eyes. The ABS of course activated, and these tires stopped on a dime! Thank God for Michelin. I've already bought a second set for one of my other vehicles. Thank you Michelin, for making THE best tires I've ever driven on.

Much better than expected.  Really good in the deep wet snow.   Excellent in wet.  Also good on dry, in fact very good. I run studded Michelin North 4 in winter for our brutal climate (calgary) but I had to leave them on late into the spring as we get late snow and my summers were performance summers and you dont dare go on any snow what so ever.  Three sets is too much for 90 percent of drivers but this saves my studs for the dec / jan feb when I need then.  In fact they are so good on dry that when my performance summers wear out i'll just use these. in my size.  225/40/18    the Cross climate 2 are 90 percent of my pilot sports   The compromise for winter was not as much as I was expecting and the same for summer ,  They are a tiny bit noisy compares to a luxury touring tire.

My mechanic snickered when I said I wanted this tire. Who's laughing now, San Antonio?!?!??!!!! A full week of winter! Five inches of snow and ice, and I have these on a 2008 Scion xB. Feels great to be able to bring supplies to people stranded with no water, food, first aid supplies, etc. . . My car hasn't skidded or hydroplaned whatsoever. Feels very solidly "on" the road, as tires displace snow and ice. I've never had tires feel this dependable beneath a car!

I read all the reviews but hardly any had the same vehicle as mine so it was a tough decision but I went with the crossclimate2 because of tire racks testing numbers. I have roughly 5,000 miles on them and they so far are the best tires I've owned. I replaced Mich MXV4 which were the OE but these crossclimate out perform them by far. They improved road handling,have very little road noise , are excellent in the rain and I'm still getting 35 mpg out of the V6 … the only question left to answer is how long with they last .The MXV4 lasted me 65k if these last that long I will be extremely happy.

Put a set on my wife's Kia Sorento in July - its now February and these tires have been through +40 to - 40 temperatures, heavy rain, heavy snow, freezing rain, mud, gravel roads, highway and city use. They are quiet, on highway and provide great handling in all conditions. I've been particularly impressed how they performed on ice and snow when it was - 42c here. I am now a firm believer in the capabilities of an all weather tire now (well, the cross climates anyway!)

Bought a set of 4 for my suv and these are by far the best tires I've ever owned. We've recently gotten about 40cm of snow cumulatively over the past 3 days and the tires just go through it like nothing. Braking is excellent and traction is day and night compared to my anything else I've owned.

I put these on a Subaru Forester in anticipation of winter snows and mountain driving. Replaced Vrdestein that had excellent traction but poor tread life. Compare to those, the Crossclimates roll smoother, are far quieter, and if it matters, are better looking. They handle road bumps well and felt very stable in heavy rain. No snow yet so I can't say if they live up to their reputation for great snow traction.

I purchased these tires for my AMG GLC43 because I couldn't handle how rough the ride was with the Run flat OEM. First time in 20 years not having a dedicated winter tire. Never missed them ride comfort, noise, durability traction these tires do it all.
