I had Michelin Defenders for my Honda Ridgeline '17 (bought in Oct 22) they too were smooth and as I spend most of my time on the highway, they lasted a while. Now got the new Cross Climate 2 and I was impressed !! The tires are amazing, quiet, smooth and the truck handles a lot better. I would highly recommend them.

Replaced our Rav4's factory tires with a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires and immediately noticed a huge improvement in terms of ride comfort and handling. Winter was already over, so we have yet to see how these CrossClimate 2 tires do on snow and ice, but based on the reviews we read and what we have experienced so far, I say "BRING IT ON!!!"

I think that this is a great tire! I replaced my Michelin Defenders with the Cross Climate 2. The traction seems much better and I haven’t noticed a significant interior noise increase from them in comparison. At first, based on some reviews, I had some concerns. Also, no matter the tread left on older tires, I consider the age of a tire to be very important to me. Nearing six years, I will replace older tires. The comfort of these tires is perfectly fine. And, living in Minnesota, the versatility is important to me. A disabled veteran.

I only buy these tires on every car now. They handle any weather rain,snow,ice and extreme heat just fine. I have never hydroplaned in these and they are about 90% as good as winter tires on ice. I used to buy the Toyo style like this but did not like them on the really hot days. If you do not want to deal with storing and changing winter tires, these will do the job.

I just purchased these tires for use on my Accord. Online information described them as all season Touring tires with good comfort and good handling. I voiced my concern that they might have a rough ride, but two sales people agreed with the online description and assured me that the ride was smooth. I can't speak to the handling, but the ride is definitely stiff and harsher than I would expect from a Touring tire. In my area, roads have lots of cracks. The tires I replaced were 10 years old and original to the Accord. I feel the cracks and other road imperfections much more than I did with my old tires. The quality of the ride is better suited to an SUV or Crossover than a nice sedan.

I have used these tires for years. Tire wear is slow, if you maintain proper air pressure. Traction is great in the snow, rain, cornering at speed and when riding on lined pavement (the tire design eliminates vehicle wobbling because of the cross design). I have the tires on our BMW, Mercedes and VW.

The CrossClimate® 2 tires have completely changed my attitude toward tires being a necessity on a car to being the primary vehicle element! These tires have made me realize that vehicle responsiveness is controlled by the quality of tires! Best tire purchase ever!

Excellent Ride and performance! When I was researching tires to purchase the Michelin Cross Climate 2 stood out because of the number of reviews. I found that on the 4 tire stores near me, the Cross Climate 2 had almost 5k reviews 4.8 rating. No other tire came close with number of reviews. This was a testament of the excellence of this tire!

I researched and selected these tires for my daughter. She wanted to spend her money wisely. She does a lot of highway driving taking her daughter to basketball games all over Ontario and the neighbouring US states, on highways and back roads and wanted a tire that was safe for all weather situations. The Cross Climate has performed exceptionally well under snowy and rainy conditions. They have stood up well with very little wear showing and provided a comfortable ride with excellent handling. As her father, I am very happy with my suggestion!

I did not choose these CC2 tires for my new to me 2011 Volvo S60 T6 AWD. I found them noisy on smooth roads. On paved country roads that are not the best of surfaces you can feel and hear most small bumps. They transfer the noise and feel of road irregularities into the Vehicle cabin. We have purchased many sets of Michelins tires throughout my 60 years of driving. I’m 75 now. We buy Volvos and Mercedes and often have 4 to 5 cars licensed and insured ready to go. These CC2 are very new less than 5000km. I might switch them to another of our cars or hope they wear out soon. In the plus side they have good traction when cornering a bit aggressively. I guess I’ll have to wait until it rains to check out their wet characteristics.
