- 5 out of 5 stars review11/6/2021I bought these tires for my MKX last January (2021) and was immediately satisfied with the way they drove through snow and slush along with how they handled ice. I just bought an Aviator with size 275/40R22 and you don't make them yet. Please have them ready for me next winter.
Look awesome and perform well
bill70Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review9/9/2025I 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.
Versatility is important to me!
ConcertinagaryOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 4 out of 5 stars review10/25/2021I purchased these to put on my Audi A6 Quattro to replace the stock Continental tires. There definitely is a difference in ride quality and very "grippy", but then again I will say that is probably true of any new set of tires. I've only put about 100 miles on them, mostly highway and residential roads. No rain and no snow yet, so I cannot confirm the claims of performance yet. All dry and speeds ranging from 0 to 75 mph. The ride is smooth, but not as smooth as the Continental but I expected such for such an aggressive tire tread. The one thing that I can say is that these are a little louder on the highway then what I was hoping for hence 4 stars. I thought the accoustic technology would have made them really quiet, but guess not. M...
Good, but not Great (yet)
ConessOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review2/16/2025I bought these tires about 5-6 months ago and they are the most expensive tires I have ever purchased BUT they are also the BEST times I have ever purchased! Excellent in wet conditions and amazing in snow! I would definitely make this purchase over again! Great tires!
Great Tires
Ani404Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review9/14/2022It's hard to imagine a better 'daily driver' tire for anyone living in an area that gets snow. Why keep two sets of tires when you can have one set that performs beautifully in all conditions? I bought these in winter and was astounded by how well they gripped in 6 inch snow, slush, and over broken ice. I went out of my way to find backroads that had not been plowed and the car gripped like a snow leopard. Grip and confidence in the rain is just as good. Having these All Weather tires installed and not having to worry about being caught out in a snow storm before you've swapped to your winter tires is a very nice feeling. The only drawback I see to these CrossClimates is that they are not a substitute for high performance summer tires...
The perfect tire for the majority of northern drivers.
Marty3dOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review2/12/2022See a review here from Mike mentioning the 'B' wet traction rating on these tires...this is an old rating that really has nothing to do with how the tire will work on a modern car since the test measures how much grip the tire has when locked on wet pavement - all cars now have ABS so this test means nothing. If they make these in your size then rest assured these tires are going to give you the best all season traction available
Don't worry about the 'B' traction rating, these GRIP
yamaholicOriginally posted onmichelinman.comConsumer Careyamaholic, thanks for the explanation of the "B" rating, and also for sharing your positive experience with the CrossClimate2... - 5 out of 5 stars review11/4/2021I purchased 4 Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires in December of 2020, and have driven over 9,000 miles on the tires in various weather and on various highway conditions. After doing a lot of online research, I decided to purchase the Michelin tires. I have purchased four sets of Michelin tires in the past for other cars which I have owned. The CrossClimate 2 were the most expensive tires out of the tires I researched but I still purchased the Michelin’s due to my past experience with the Michelin tires. I have not been disappointed with my purchase and the performance and handling of the CrossClimate 2 tires. I live in western Pennsylvania and the winter we had last year was very snowy. At times, I was driving in 6 inches of unplowed roads and ...
Cross Climate 2 - Met My Expectations
Coach KOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/19/2021This tire (and its predecessor the +) has gotten rave reviews by Tire Rack, Consumer Reports, and others. When Michelin came out with some new sizes in February 2021 I figured it was time to give them a shot. I had already replaced the tires on my wife's Subaru Forester with CC+ before the CC2 were available. So far, I really like these tires. At 245/55R18, they are 20mm wider than the OEM tires (225/60R18) so they give more grip than either the OEM Yokohamas or the Michelin Premier A/S tires they replaced.
Better than expected!
keith12Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review5/14/2025I did research to find the best tire for our RAV4. This tire ticked all the boxes starting with wet braking and hydroplaning. Good noise level, comfort and bonus the are snowflake All Season rated if we happen to get caught off guard before we have our snow tires on. Very happy.
vgreat Tire!
John.Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 2 out of 5 stars review12/13/2021I was averaging 40 to 41 miles per gallon in my RAV4 hybrid Limited with the OEM tires. I just installed a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. These handle better than the OEM and are more surefooted on mountain roads. I read other CrossClimate2 owners were getting lower mpg so I raised the inflation 4 psi over the recommended pressure to see if that would help. Even with the higher pressure I’m now consistently averaging 34.5 MPG. 15% lower. EV’s and hybrid’s get a triple hit from high rolling resistance tires like the CrossClimate 2. First when running on gas only, Second from faster battery drain while using battery power only and a third from a loss in regeneration to recharge the battery when coasting or braking.
Lower MPG
jbassocOriginally posted onmichelinman.comConsumer Carejbassoc, you make some good points, also new tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comp... - 5 out of 5 stars review4/9/2025I bought a set of these CrossClimate 2 tires in 2022 and never have been more impressed with the handling, traction, etc. of any other tire I have bought in the 60+ years I have been driving. Note: I chose the Helium fill option if this makes any difference.
Darned Dependable Driving
JoBrynOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/14/2025Just had them installed yesterday. I had forgotten how much of a difference new tires make. These CrossClimate2 tires are very quiet and have greatly improved the ride of our 2022 Grand Cherokee. Anxious to see how they perform this winter in the snow.
Quiet and plush ride
GColvinOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review2/17/2021My 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!
Great for Texas Winters!
ElucidatorOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review9/14/2022Bought these to go on a Toyota Corolla hatchback, then it snowed like crazy during Last part of December 2021. The ultimate test on how well they work, we are not disappointed. Even during the worst snow, and driving to conditions, these tires saved the day!
Excellent Tires
TaitOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review5/9/2024I’ve only had these tires a short time but I am totally impressed. They are a quiet riding tire yet in a down pour I could tell they stuck to the pavement while driving through puddles of water. I’m looking forward to see how they perform come winter and the snow. Great product so far.
Great Product
BillOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review5/11/2021I am happy that I bought these tires...after a lot of research... and discussions with tire dealers who always confirmed they were rated best for snow and ice, and rain and clear roads too. I’m not driving much these days but when I do my 2012 Ford Flex handles better and more quietly than it ever did. I forget I was concerned about my tires. I’ve been a Michelin customer for 60 + years and they never let me down. As a bonus, they qualify on insurance as Winter tires.
Feeling safe
HappyOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/30/2025We bought our first set of these approximately 3.5 years ago. We have been thrilled with them. They provide great traction, they are not noisy, and the tread has worn very well. Unfortunately, the tread separated on 3 of the 4 of them recently. They had 33,000 miles on them. The tread was only half worn so we received 50% towards the purchase of another set. Still very pleased with the tires. Hopefully these ones won't separate.
Excellent tire
Russ47Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/11/2024Purchased 4 of these for my 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe All Track. The handling and stopping was noticeable as I left the dealer who sold me them and did the install. Great in the rain here in Florida. I did have an alignment check after install and there was no problem. I just wanted to be sure as these are premium tires to me and I want them to last. I get free balance and rotations for the life of the tire. I expect to keep them in great shape.
BEST tire I have driven on any all track vehicle I have owned.
FrankpOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 3 out of 5 stars review9/19/2025I had to go back to the deal a few times because my tire gauge light kept on coming on and they told me it was brand new tires like go well there’s something wrong with it because my tire gauge light should not be coming on every day so finally they decided to take the tires apart. They found a low leak by the stem and they fixed it but it waste a lot of time for me to go back-and-forth.ElaineOriginally posted onmichelinman.com
- 5 out of 5 stars review11/8/2022I bought these tires five weeks ago. I asked my della person , I need tires for rain and snow.we have not had snow yet which is a big deal here in upstate Ny. No,not Albany but real upstate NY. We are 12 miles from the Canadian border. Both my husband and I can’t believe how they hold the road.Every time we are in the car we comment on how much we appreciate our smart decision.
