Terrible Wear

I have no idea how these have such good reviews or maybe we just got a faulty pair. My rear tires on my minivan have gone completely bald in 2 years and only 20k miles.

We're sorry to hear your CrossClimate 2 tires experienced excessive wear after only 20,000 miles. Tire wear can be influenced by several factors, so we recommend having the tires inspected by an authorized Michelin dealer to determine the cause and whether warranty coverage may apply. Once you have the inspection results, please contact our Consumer Care team a call at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Excellent tires for the outback

The driving difference between the OEM tires and the Crossclimate is night and day. The handling, ride and noise have vastly improved. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Larrys review

Tire have gone thru 20000 miles and i could not be happier. They have held the road perfectly on dry roads, snowy roads and during heavy rain. Have held tire pressure without loss even on NYC roads. The tires look like they did when first installed

Very happy with the CrossClimate2

I’ve had these on for 2 months so far and they are a very quiet and comfortable tire on my Subaru outback. It’s too early to tell on wear, but I am very happy with them so far. Fuel efficiency was excellent on a recent long trip.

Lower MPG

I 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.

jbassoc, you make some good points, also 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. In addition, there is also the Michelin Promise Plan that offers a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your new set of Michelin tires, just return to the selling retailer to exchange them for a new set of equal or lesser value.

Vibrates at high speed

Just got those tires a week ago from Subaru dealership. I drive a Subaru ascent touring. The positive: quiet ride and good grip. The negative: there is an absolutely annoying vibration that occurs at greater than 72 miles. Took it back to the Subaru dealership for rebalancing ( one week tires) . I was told those tires are expected to do that and this is why they don't have it in stock ( they had to get them them from their regional warehouse). I have at least 3 trips of 2 hours plus a month on the Kansas turnpike (75 mph speed limit) and i am REALLY not looking forward for the next 3 years….

Great upgrade

These tires are our first replacement tires since purchasing our car. We have a Subaru and it is all wheel drive. We selected the Cross climate because it is supposed to be great in all weather conditions. So far, we have noticed how much nicer the car handles. It brakes better. Even the wet tread pattern it leaves on the driveway is nicer.

Great tires that work well in the snow

These tires have been great for my midsize SUV. They work great in all weather. They've done great in the snow. The only thing I would say that has not been good is the snow get stuck in the wheel well I think because of the way the tires traction is designed.

Zoom Zoom is back!!

Was told during car inspection that I needed new tires. During my online search I compared multiple brands, I was intrigued with the tread pattern. I’m so happy with these tires as they have brought back my smooth ride positive grip on acceleration and braking. As I told my son the CrossClimate2 tires have brought back the Zoom Zoom experience in my Mazda.

Second set

I just put on my second set of Cross Climate2's on my 2016 Outback. Besides the fact the Outback is just the best car for the mountains and snow, adding the Cross Climate's just adds that extra layer of reliability and safety. Traction is amazing in sow and rain! I would recommend these tires to anyone looking for a great all season tire!
