I am a faithful Michelin user for 30 plus years (driving 64 yrs) on light pickups, full size cars and mid size cars, utility van, have a Yukon XL 4 WD with 264,000 miles that has never had anything other than Michelin. I have never been disappointed with Michelin tires until now. Put a set of Cross Climate 2 on a 2017 Ford Escape at 51,638 miles and the car handles great, like an expensive sports car. However the tires are excessively noisy to the point I thought something was wrong with the car, the wheels or what ever. I paid three different tire shops to evaluate, one of which is my primary tire dealer and they all concluded nothing wrong with the car, it's the tires. It sounds like a pickup with a cheap set of worn out tires which I have owned before. The Cross Climate 2 will easily last 60,000 miles or more on this vehicle which means we must tolerate the noise another minimum 36,940 miles until time for a new set of tires. The tires perform very well as advertised with the exception of the noise. The noise is disappointing and embarrassing, especially when we have guest onboard. Photos upon request.

TOO NOISY!! TRACTION, DURABILITY, PERFORMANCE ARE GREAT

Great traction,quite and comfortable ride

Only put about 500 miles on, tires are quite, with a good ride. Traction seems good so far.

Tires seem to perform well in wet or dry conditions.

So far appears to be a very, very good all around tire

Purchased it in Oct 2025 and driven 2000 miles and the drive seems smooth and confident so far.

great traction in snow & water, no hydroplaning, short stopping bare road

Impressed with the handling. I can't wait to drive in the snow!

Perfect, smooth ,quiet ride. We love them!
