Worth the money?

I bought these tires in September, 2020. The tread pattern had me intrigued but unsure. Winter control conventionally comes from a deep tread, soft rubber compound, and lots of sipes. The croosclimate2 does not look like that but it has proven itself so far. The tire resisted hydroplaning during the fall rains and does not show the usual resistance when going through puddles at highway speeds. So far, December, we have had very little snow, 3", but it handled it very well. The freezing rain and ice have been an issue this year and these tires have out-performed my Michelin defenders. I realize that the two are not in the same performance class but I have always had great service from the Defenders, T&H. Crossclimates are an excellent option if you are not going to purchase a dedicated winter tire. We sould be seeing -25°C at Christmas. I don't believe I will be disappointed. ☆ It should also be mentioned that the mountain snowflake symbol, according to my research, signifies a minimum improvement in traction of 10% over all-season tires. This may not sound like alot but it is a minimum of 10%, and the Crossclimate2 are noticeably better than all-seasons. Stay safe.

Outstanding wet and dry performance

I purchased my CrossClimate 2 tires for my Honda Ridgeline G2 in preparation for Wisconsin winter. Turns out it barely snowed in my area last winter so I can't really rate the tires snow performance. I can say I've been highly impressed with the tire's wet and dry performance. Very stable in all conditions and I have noted a slight improvement in gas economy. There is a slight hum from the tires, but I only noticed it when I first purchased the tires and was curious about it. Since then I never notice road noise. Highly satisfied with my purchase and will definitely purchase again unless a CrossClimate 3 comes out first.

Don't worry about the 'B' traction rating, these GRIP

See 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

Lot's of punctures and non-repairable flats. These tires pick up and hold metal.

I originally bought four for a Honda CRV in August 2022. Since then I've lost three tires to non-replaceable punctures and had five repairable punctures. Driving is on main thoroughfares and suburban streets (no construction in my area). I drive the same areas with my pickup and have no problems. These tires seem to pick up and hold every piece of metal they come across. Having just lost my third tire, I replaced them with something else.

Good traction and cornering

I’ve had my tires for a couple months and have put about 3,000 miles on them. I find they are quiet, have great grip and corner well. The only downside is they have reduced my Fusion hybrid’s mpg about 5%. Guess that’s the tradeoff for the good traction.

Rman21, thanks for providing feedback regarding your experience with CrossClimate 2 tires. Sorry to hear about your mpg's decreasing. New tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires. As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases. Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve.

Love my Tread!

I purchased these CrossClimate2 tires to replace my beloved Michelin Premier A/S which served me well for many years. Who knew a tread pattern could be this good-looking? Already tried in rain and shine, on rough and slick; love the sure-footed feeling and good stopping I am getting.

Treads Confidently

These tires get me through the dry and the wet, around bends and cloverleafs, in a confident and fun manner. Feedback and handling are good, and the tires are reasonably quiet. I also like the aggressive look of the tread. I haven't tested them in snow and ice yet, but am looking forward to it. I usually swap in winter tires, but hopefully, the CrossClimate2s will save me the trouble.

Great A/S tire, better than Premier

Got these tires installed 700 miles ago (two weeks ago) and I'm absolutely loving these tires. They're stable, smooth and safe, but because they're new my fuel economy took a hit (which is to be expected on new tires) which I'm hoping is temporary. The one other complaint is that they create road noise. It's still early days but they're a good tire to go to if you've had treadlife issues with the Premier A/S series.

That bite on snow is brilliant !!

I travelled yesterday in one of my most adventurous drives along the snowstorm direction from Chicago to Detroit. I94 was a combination of slosh pit and fresh accumulated snow at various stretches. Michigan roads were bad to start with. But this tire (and some driving skills, well tire mainly) kept me going at 65 to 70 MPH in that snow and gave me a lot of confidence to drive over. As some users have noted can't speak of its performance well into its life but these were installed 2 months ago and had very less mileage on them as of writing this review. If you hit a heap of snow as in when changing lanes though - because of the way the tire is grooved to let a lot of rain and snow flow outwards you will see a significant slowdown than other tires. It is good if you are in control and have no vehicle around but bad if you are in a traffic. Just the driver has to account for this change in performance style compared to other tires (Ex: Michelin Defender). Another major downside of this tire is on grooved roads - it becomes wobbly thanks to the non continuous contact patch type tread design but isnt dangerous in anyway. Same goes for snow. And despite that wobbliness, cornering in this is a hoot. If these downsides don't bother you, this tire is brilliant and the tread design aesthetic gets full points from me.

Has been fantastic during the Winter

I bought these a month ago and they have been great in the snow and on dry pavement. The grip it has during turns is fantastic. I personally like the look it gives my vehicle. Took long road trips over the Holidays and our family felt safe the entire time. Haven't had them for summer yet so we will see. As of now we love the CrossClimate 2 Michelin Tires.
