I’m using Michelin CrossClimate 2 in size 235/65 R17 on an Audi Q5 quattro (SUV). Overall, the tire performs very well in dry conditions and also handles regular rain without any issues. For everyday driving on wet or dry asphalt, the stability and comfort are good. However, the tire shows serious limitations as soon as there is wet snow or slush on the road, especially around +2°C. Braking performance becomes very weak, and the car tends to slide forward even at low speeds, around 15–30 km/h. In these conditions, the tire simply cannot provide sufficient grip, and stopping distances become dangerously long. Because of this, I was forced to purchase a new set of proper winter tires, as continuing to drive with the CrossClimate 2 in these conditions poses a real risk of an accident and serious danger. A similar issue appears when the road is only slightly damp after light rain during colder autumn/winter days — braking and stopping distances noticeably increase, even when driving slowly. Conclusion: Excellent tire for dry, wet, and mild winter conditions, but not reliable in slush, wet snow, or low temperatures. If you live in an area where wet snow is common, this tire may not be a safe choice during winter.

This is my second set of Cross Climate 2's. Michelin offers great value and stands behind their brand. Some say they are too pricey, but i disagree. Michelin is the only tire company that offers 150 miles of FREE Towing, gasoline if you run out and 60000 mile tread wear guarantee. Good in USA and Canada.

These tires are incredible. I was very hesitant to put these on my car due to it being sporty and was a little worried once they were installed. After some time driving, I’ve come to fall in love with these tires. My first experience in the snow was eye opening with how well they performed. HIGHLY recommend!

Newly installed set of four CrossClimate2 on my Honda Accord. Replaced a set of Michelin Primacy tires. So far, I am happy with the purchase. When reading reviews, these tires were acclaimed for wet/dry/winter traction but there were some comments about higher tire noise. For my own experience, I cannot discern much worse tire noise than my former quiet/smooth Primacy tires. I'm still in the break-in period, but I can tell with the tread pattern and deeper channels I'll get much improved traction in wet and snowy/winter conditions. I was happy with the Primacy tires for most of the season, but their weak point was cold/winter driving. Looking forward to more confidence on the road as approach the colder weather in the midwest with a new set of these CrossClimate tires on the car.

These are the third set of tires we have purchased now for three different vehicles. Our ambient temperatures range from -45F to 95F and road conditions from near perfect to dense water, freezing rain and compacted snow and ice. These tires out perform any other brands and models we have tried over 50 years of driving as well as commercial driving.

At 105,000 miles, I needed new tires for my 2019 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum. I looked at a lot of tire recommendations and reviews. I was looking for something with high marks in snow and ice traction. I was also price-conscious, but wanted the best tire. These were the top-rated tires, according to Consumer Reports. What really convinced me to spend more money on these tires was that in the CR testing, these tires lasted 95,000 miles for excellent durability. Right after having them installed, my wife and I drove over to Madison for a Christmas music concert. As we drove there, snow started falling. I noticed a different sound from these tires that is distinct because of the unique pattern. They felt very comfortable. It was on the way home that they paid for themselves. By the time we left the concert, over 4" of snow had fallen. Our drive home was mainly on 2-lane state highways. I reduced the speed for the environment, and these tires performed perfectly. There were a lot of cars in the ditch on our drive home. By the time we got to the last few miles, the snow was 6-8" deep and unplowed on the county roads that were the last miles to our house. I look that they will be a very veratile tire when we get the the warmer weather and rains.

The tires have literal decimated the electric range of my Chrysler Pacifica PHEV. I wish that we, in North America, could buy the European Cross Climate 2 tire in the H speed rating. This tire has the best rating for rolling resistance in Europe. Sadly Michelin has decided for us that rolling resistance is not important and that we shouldn't be able to buy those tires here. I doesn't hurt that tire manufacturers are NOT required to divulge rolling resistance performance in the US, as they are in Europe.

Bought these for my 2021 Toyota Rav 4 SXE Hybrid. Haven't driven in much snow yet (one time in the mtns.) but love the grippy-ness of the tires so far on wet/snowy roads in Colorado. These tires are great and I hope they last several years as they are not cheap tires. I'm all about having great tires on my cars for safety & control. There is a little bit more road noise but not that bad. I usually am playing my spotify music in my car so not a big deal. I would highly recommend these CrossClimate tires.

Crossclimate2 were just installed 3 days ago and so far, they ride soft not noisy and road hugging filling! P.S my daughter has a pair, and she is very satisfied! That is the reason why I got mine also eliminates the season changes! I believe that most insurance accepts them because of a snowflake symbol on the tire!

I've had these tires and when hog two snow storms so far. One we had about 4" and roads were not great to drive on. Snow plows where just trying to keep up on the main roads, on secondary roads where I was it deep. With. my vehicle in locked axle mode with both front and rear locked, AWD, I had no p ruble driving over the snow covered roads. I expereincd a minor slip, but was able to recover quickly. Driving in this weather you need to drive slower, but thre tires kept up and kept me going.
