Good All Round Performer

I replaced the OEM all seasons on my new 2024 Taos with a set of CrossClimate 2s. I CC2s on my previous Tiguan and they performed well summer and winter. I ran them for a year and a half until I traded the vehicle. Living in an apartment, the all weather tires make sense -- no storage issues and no seasonal swaps.

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.

Thank You Michelin

I highly recommend these. My wife and I put these on our Nissan Murano. We live in North Dakota. The roads here can get quite bad in the winter. My wife was in an accident(due to bad roads), she lost control and totalled my truck. I wanted her to feel comfortable again driving. These tires are the best tires I've ever seen in the winter. The control on bad roads is amazing. Highly recommend these if you deal with 6 months of winter. Only downfall is they're sighly louder at 80-85mph in the summer. Not bad enough for me to give them anything short of 5 stars.

NOISY!! So much want to trash these tires!

I bought these because of the Consumer Reports ratings and I am very disappointed. The road noise regardless of speeds is unbearable. The road noise is comparable to that of driving with mud tires, Which if I were driving with mud tires I would expect the noise but not on car road tires.

Very impressed

Much better than expected.  Really good in the deep wet snow.   Excellent in wet.  Also good on dry, in fact very good. I run studded Michelin North 4 in winter for our brutal climate (calgary) but I had to leave them on late into the spring as we get late snow and my summers were performance summers and you dont dare go on any snow what so ever.  Three sets is too much for 90 percent of drivers but this saves my studs for the dec / jan feb when I need then.  In fact they are so good on dry that when my performance summers wear out i'll just use these. in my size.  225/40/18    the Cross climate 2 are 90 percent of my pilot sports   The compromise for winter was not as much as I was expecting and the same for summer ,  They are a tiny bit noisy compares to a luxury touring tire.

Simply the best when things get wet

Baffling how amazing these things are. I’m a very aggressive driver these obviously don’t have the extreme dry weather grip a dedicated summer tire would but I’ll trade that any day for what these things are capable of in the wet. Who was that famous Spaniard formula one racer who lived for a wet race track? Ayrton Senna ? That’s who I feel like in the wet with these tires. Amazing. It’s pouring right now this twisty backroad I use all the time that gets lakes on it when it rains and has thrown every vehicle I’ve ever owned into massive hydroplaning didn’t move me an inch today and I hit the lake that formed over this hairpin like I was Senna. Amazing. Third time now I’ve been in white knuckle rainy weather and I didn’t have a care in the world. Way above posted speed limits. Honestly wanna get my car on a racetrack and see if I’m fact these do have limits. All this and sixty thousand mile expected life?? Unbeatable. Nothing compares. These things Legitimately throw the water away from the tires if that makes sense. Wouldn’t know it was raining / pouring if it wasn’t for wipers needing to be on at full speed. Honestly can’t wait for the snow but I’m guessing these things are going to unflappable and unstoppable when the snow falls. Wow. And never in my 35 years of driving have I ever or wolf I ever thought I’d be writing a review for tires but here we are. They’re that good

Best snow tires on the market!!

I bought the MICHELIN® CrossClimate®2 tires for my car after reading about their impressive performance in various conditions12. I have to say, I am very satisfied with my purchase. These tires are amazing! They stop shorter than other tires I have tried, both on dry and wet pavement. They also last longer, which is great for saving money and reducing waste. And they handle well on snow, which is important for me living in Northern Ohio. I feel safe and confident driving with these tires, no matter the weather. They are truly all-season tires that deliver on their promises. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, durable, and versatile tire. Thank you, Michelin, for making such a great product!

Shhhhhhhh Quiet

This is the first full set of Michelin tires I have ever bought for any of my automobiles. It is really true that, "you get what you pay for". These tires are so quiet and smooth riding compared to any other brand I have had. Even in the rain you can barely hear these tires compared to other. I am very well pleased with the purchase of these Michelin tires, Great Quality, thank you.

Love my Crossclimate 2's

Just mounted the CC2's yesterday on my '23 CR-V Hybrid, but I took them immediately on a long highway/backroad shakedown road test. MPG's: at least on my Hybrid, there was absolutely no change in MPG's. In fact during my trip, it continued to increase as expected. I will caution anyone who has seen a drop, it's not unusual initially with new tires. They stick to the road and need to be worked in. Give them a few thousand miles. Noise: Amazingly quiet. Seems counterintuitive given the tread design, but for me, very quiet. And Obviously being a '23, the factory tires weren't worn much so I wasn't suffering from old tire noise. Grip: outstanding.

Loss of acceleration and breaking. Do Not Recommend.

I have had the tires on for a day and every time I drive there is something about it that makes me nauseous. Secondly, I love my Tesla, because it has get up and go. It is fast on acceleration. With these tires, I notice a great loss in acceleration at stop lights and signs. Lastly, breaking seems a sluggish with these tires. I had the Michelin MXM tires before. Should have staid with them.
