Best stopping tire I have owned

Purchased a set for my wife's 2019 Pacifica (245/50R20) about a month ago. They have really impressed on the dry and wet. As we live in Northern Illinois we will soon get to see just how good they are in winter conditions. I have seen a lot on their capabilities in snow, just wondering about ice. So far we are loving this tire, much better than the OEM Falken's that came on the vehicle.

Downgraded performance of replacement tire is sad.

Sadly, this Cross Climat 2 tire recommended for Honda Accord is a downgrade from the OEM tire and recommendation as this only has a "B" traction rating, but the OEM tire was rated "A". OEM tire is Michelin Primacy MXM4. I don't appreciate having a recommendation that lowers my car's safety rating in not allowing my car to top as fast or hold the road as well as expected when purchased. Did not purchase recommended tire for reason that I care for my family's safety.

You raise an excellent point, and this highlights why regulation needs to be updated and/or eliminated as technology changes and improves. The current method that is based on locked wheel braking and all modern vehicles have anti-lock brakes. A braking test based on anti-lock brakes measuring peak adherence rather than slide adherence is better suited for today’s vehicle. Michelin has chosen to design tires based on anti-lock braking which sometimes actually produces a lower locked wheel result.

Loudest Tire Ever

I currently own 5 cars all with Michelin tires and these are by far the loudest tires I've ever had on any of my cars. This is a 2016 VOLVO XC70 the tires have plenty of tread left on then, 7/32 rear, 6/32 front. Have been rotated religiously, front and rear alignment is perfect. The car has been into the Volvo dealer to check for other problems, ie. bad CV joint or wheel bearing. Everything checks out in perfect working order. You can NOT hold a conversation in the car above 60 MPH the towing is so loud. Very disappointed we hoped these tires would be a good replacement for the Hydro Edge we had on previous wagons. My other cars have Pilot A/S 4 and PS4 tires and those are as quiet as a church mouse by comparison.

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.

Meh

Installed on a BMW X3. Mediocre as a snow tire at best. Came from Continentals Viking 7s and figure I could get by a single winter since they're labelled as an All Weather Tire. They are not a replacement for proper winter tires. Noticeably less traction off the line, straight line traction, and more importantly, during turns. In fair weather conditions (dry), fuel mileage was comparably worse than the Michelin Pilot AS3+ that it replaced which was surprising since that tire was fantastic in the dry and in the rain. Overall, not impressed.

So far so good

So far with few hundred miles the tires are great. Had some ice/snow and they did well. In the past I have had poor luck with Michelin tires in general. But bases on consumer reports ratings I decided to give the Cross Climate 2 a chance. I will report back after 5 thousand miles.

Good grip. Poor mileage

Vehicle - 2022 Lexus RX 350L. I replaced the Bridgestone ecopia OEM tires at 35k miles due to wear (they are 55k tires) with Michelin Crossclimate 2 tires after considerable research. I have had Michelin tires on a number of vehicles over the years, and apart from a set of Primacy tires, I have always been pleased. While the Crossclimate 2 tires had great traction, especially when wet, there were two serious problems with them. Immediately noticeable was that they did not track well, and needed constant correction on the highway, and it almost seemed that the power steering was increased. But the major problem was with gas mileage. Probably a 15-20% drop in mileage which meant range dropping from about 440 to 385 per tank-full I’m changing to another brand this week. Disappointing after doing what I thought was some extensive research. Reading other reviews and postings on forums, this seems to be a common problem.

CrossClimate 2 - Excellent tires

Decided on these for my 2015 Ford Edge Titanium Awd, 245 55 19, and I'm very happy that I did. I was concerned about the tread pattern being noisy but they're quiet. I also read reviews where gas milage dropped, but I'm getting 2mpg more with them. I noticed stopping distance has increased as well as acceleration. I usually buy a mid grade tire but glad I spent a little extra for these. Hope I'm just as impressed with their traction in snow this winter.

Great handling tire!

So happy with these tires. Installed on my 2019 Ford Flex and 2016 Subaru Legacy. So far, I have experienced heavy rain driving conditions and these tires performed very well. Traction is exceptional. Looking forward to winter driving conditions since I live in Ohio's snow belt area.

Great for Texas Winters!

My mechanic snickered when I said I wanted this tire. Who's laughing now, San Antonio?!?!??!!!! A full week of winter! Five inches of snow and ice, and I have these on a 2008 Scion xB. Feels great to be able to bring supplies to people stranded with no water, food, first aid supplies, etc. . . My car hasn't skidded or hydroplaned whatsoever. Feels very solidly "on" the road, as tires displace snow and ice. I've never had tires feel this dependable beneath a car!
