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.

Great for Everyone but Me!

I have a 2019 Mazda CX-9 Signature and want to put these on it but the largest tire listed is 245/50R20. The stock OEM Falkens on the car are 255/50R20. When will Michelin have these CrossClimate2 tires in my size? I really prefer Michelins and only want to go to All Weather Tires for this car.

Great onroad - horrible offroad.

Drove 17,000 miles cross country on these tires. They are good for paved roads, but the moment you hit any sort of gravel drivway, dirt road to campground or sandy path they REALLY suck. My car is not an offroad vehicle but on occasion we would have to take a gravel road or drive to an established campsite on dirt or sand these tires have horrible traction. The whole car shifts side to side when breaking. I have not used these in the snow but I don't plan to as they cannot even handle a little sand in the street.

Best of All - always

Cross Climate 2 are perfect for me. We get lots of rain where I live and CC2 does an excellent job of divesting the water and holding me steady and tight to the road surface. Since the first day of driving a car too many years ago, I have always had Michelins. So, 10 Gold Stars.**********

done at 60,000 km

i like these tires, bought 4 yrs ago for my honda ridgeline. now at 60,00km and they are done. i would say ok in the snow but not great on ice. i mostly drive around toronto, am a conservative driver and very conscientious about service, they were rotated regularly as per warranty although i didn't fill out the forms, i don't see how they get to 100,000km ...

Good, but not Great (yet)

I 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. Maybe after the tread wears down some, they will become more quiet. The other thing I will say is that the tires sometimes go where the grooves in the road go, so you have to be on your toes. Will report back after the snowy season.

Luxury ride

I wanted to replace OEM tires on Lexus RX350 within first week but decided to wait on CrossClimate2 to become available. It was worth the wait, Lexus now rides like a luxury vehicle. Ride is much smoother and quieter and overall more solid feel when making left/right turns. Handles very well and provides confident feeling on very wet roads, expect the same in the winter. Great tire!

Cross Climate 2 - Met My Expectations

I 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 had no problems. I really like the handling and feel on wet roads and how the tires channel water out on water covered roads. The ride is smooth and quiet with minimal road noise from the highway surface. After about a year of driving on the CrossClimate 2 tires, these tires have shown only slight wear. Overall, the Cross Climate 2 tires have lived up to my expectations for a premium crossover/SUV touring all season tire and worth the extra money I paid compared to the other touring all season tires.

Best tire ever so far

I bought these a few months ago based on good reviews. I have a 2011 Nissan Murano. Getting old and noisy. Wow these tires made me feel like I was in a much newer car. So quiet ! Even on previously noisy roads. Worth every penny. Hoping I don't have to put my winters on this year !
