Bought CC2 to replace OEM tires on Subaru Outback after dealer tried to sell different brand with MAJOR markup. Traction (particularly in snow and ice on slopes) and road noise are dramatically better with these tires! Definitely worth slight cost increase, and would buy another set without reservation.

Tire was losing air .Employee showed me that my tires had some dry rot. Personally I did not think the tires looked bad. But winter was coming around the bend so I thought maybe I should replace them. Well, what a much smoother ride. So happy I had gotten them.

This is my first set of CrossClimate 2s, and I have been very impressed with performance - dry and wet traction, and have proven to be very quiet. I have about 2,500 miles on the tires so far, so we'll see how the wear, but I anticipate that they'll be just fine.

I drive a 2013 Elantra Limited. I uses this car to commute to work 5 days a week. (120 miles round trip) I was buying Michelin Premier A/S. A great all season tire that gave the car a great ride and averaged 60k per set. I wanted a tire that was better in crappy weather and read about the CrossClimate 2's. The Good - WOW, they really are AMAZING in bad weather. Even when going thru large puddles, the Premier's gave me that hydroplaning feeling. The CrossClimate 2's I have full control! The tires are just about 9 months old and already have 20k on them. The Bad - For the first 10k the tires were loud and almost sounded like they were rubbing up against the car especially when cornering. Fuel mileage has suffered, I was averaging 36-38 miles, now 34-35. If you live in an area that gets snow, (bad weather) these are excellent tires, I would highly recommend them. If you live in more a sunshine state, I think your just going to look at that gas economy drop.

Decided on these for my 2015 Ford Edge Titanium Awd, 245 55 19, and I'm very happy that I did. I was concerned about the tread pattern being noisy but they're quiet. I also read reviews where gas milage dropped, but I'm getting 2mpg more with them. I noticed stopping distance has increased as well as acceleration. I usually buy a mid grade tire but glad I spent a little extra for these. Hope I'm just as impressed with their traction in snow this winter.

Outstanding and very happy. 2010 Honda Element AWD in light snow in cool temps was great for an all weather tire. Very low noise level, great ride and handling in a crossover vehicle. I can't comment on fuel milage as we just switched to summer fuels around the time of purchase, my guess is average to good. I live in a ski resort and this is my year round tire until the snow flies then I go to studded. Perfect setup.

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 bought these two months ago and have a couple thousand miles on them. They are far superior to the OEM Pirellis as you don't feel every bump in the road and are much quieter. In addition, the traction has been excellent on wet and dry pavement. Initially, I looked at these, and another brand, and the retailer told me to get these "hands down." He was 100% correct.

In my winter driving conditions I use spikes (country roads in the North of Finland) in my back wheel drive car. I have now my 2nd set of Cross Climate tyres in a row. They give me flexibility to change to spikes only after the real winter has come. Not any earlier. In the spring I have the flexibility to switch back early to Cross Climate thus reducing the use of spikes to minimum. I have found Cross Climate very pleasing: low noise level, reasonable wear, very neutral handling (205/60R16) in my E series MB. The tyres deserve 5/5, the pricing lowers the total to 4/5. Ps. My winter spike tyres are Michelin, too.

Bought these for last winter, this first blast of winter this year has been horrible for those on the roads but my car handles beautifully, slows down and stops without much hesitation. And the aesthetic of the tires are awesome too. My big Hyundai Santa Fe gets better gas mileage too about 23-25 in a big suv is pretty good!
