I've seen and heard a lot of comments about these tires being noisy. I've had a set on my 2013 Dodge Journey SXT (front wheel drive) for 4 years. They were fine at first, no noticeable noise. When I went for my first rotation, the service writer asked how I liked them. I said they were fine and he mentioned that some folks complain of the noise. (side story-they stripped my wheel locks with their impact wrench. Had to go to Dodge dealer, who ended up having to blast them off with a jackhammer!) After all that and the rotation...dang! Noisy!!! Had I not noticed until the guy mentioned it??? I wasn't sure. After a few months of noise, it occurred to me that the ordeal with the wheel locks may have blown my alignment. So I had one done, and like magic, the noise was gone. I've driven out the rest of the tread miles on that set, smooth and quiet. I'm about to go get a new set next weekend. Oh and by the way, they're very impressive in heavy rain. Living in the south, never had a chance to try them on snow. To all the naysayers, I say "make sure your alignment is good before posting negative reviews!"

Tires are great when they are new, now I have had them for 2 years I will never buy Michelin tires again. Tire were great the first and part of the second year. Now they howl and extremely noisy, worse than aggressive pickup tires. Also I had the tires rotated every 5,000 miles. DO NOT BUY THE CROSSCLIMATE TIRES!

Nice smooth, quiet ride at speed. A bit of a whine or whistle at slow speeds, like 10 to 20 mph. Just got them this afternoon and only have about 10 miles on them. Will come back for a more thorough review after we have more miles on them.

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.

When I bought my car in 2019 I swapped the manufacturer’s tires for the CrossCimate and put well over 80,000 km on them which included several trips to Florida. They were great tires but wore down so I replaced them with the CrossClimate 2. These tires are a big improvement over the original. Better handling in snow especially when making turns. They’re expensive but worth it.

I’ll never buy another type of tire again. Absolutely love these, I just swapped out my old, worn tires for these. When I left the shop, I couldn’t believe driving could feel as good as it does now. The braking feels safer, and I feel like I could drive in 2 feet of snow if I had to. So happy!

My wife and I have put three quarters of a million miles on Michelin tires over the last ten years and they have been by far the best when it comes to durability and tread life. We have had sets of Goodyear that don’t get half the same miles on them and have had durability and wear issues. I have used the ltx m/s2s and now the defender ltx m/s and my wife is now using the crossclimates. The grip and control on her tires is excellent and my m/s2s got 100k miles on all of them.

This is the second set of Cross Climate 2’s that I have purchased. The first set gave us 63,000 plus miles of hassle free driving. That’s why I bought them again when it came time to replace the first set. Excellent in the snow and rain which happens a lot in Maine.

Bought the Cross Climate 2 for my 216 Honda Accord EXL (3.5 6 Cylinder). After having 2 set of Michelin OEM tires, I switch over based on multiple personal recommendations. Having now driven on dry, rainy, and snow-covered roads, I can honestly say that I recommend these tires above all else. I have driven SUVs, Subaru's, and now a sedan. Great tires for all around traction. Little road noise, and great handling.

I put a set on my ford escape and have driven nearly 70,000 miles on them so far. They still have decent tread on them and perform very well. I have noticed that they get a little louder after about 60,000 miles. But most tires don’t even make it that far. I recently bought another set for our Santa Fe.
