Don't worry about the 'B' traction rating, these GRIP

See a review here from Mike mentioning the 'B' wet traction rating on these tires...this is an old rating that really has nothing to do with how the tire will work on a modern car since the test measures how much grip the tire has when locked on wet pavement - all cars now have ABS so this test means nothing. If they make these in your size then rest assured these tires are going to give you the best all season traction available

Excellent Performance

I have no complaints with these tires after 2 winters and over 15,000 miles of use. The road noise is as good or better than my previous tires. Fuel economy is the same as before. Excellent snow/ice/winter performance for all season tires. Very pleased overall, and I will be considering these in the future as my other vehicles need tires.

The only tire I trust for my family

Review of the CrossClimate 2 tires. They have impressive versatility, performance, and reliability across multiple family vehicles. Below are my key takeaways: 1. All-Weather Performance: The CrossClimate 2 tires’ certification for hybrid and snow performance makes them a solid choice for year-round use, especially for those who would otherwise need to switch between seasonal tires. 2. Reliable Grip: These tires excel in providing firm traction, with no hydroplaning issues even in heavy rain, and they handle snowy conditions well—though for those in extremely snowy regions, dedicated snow tires might still be a better option. 3. Improved Ride Quality: Compared to OEM tires, the CrossClimate 2 provides a smoother and more controlled ride. They also offer aggressive cornering capabilities without sacrificing comfort, and they are not noisy at all. 4. Versatile Across Vehicles: They’ve performed reliably on a Lexus RX450h, Honda Passport Sport, and Mercury Milan, showing that these tires adapt well to our different vehicle types. 5. Fuel Efficiency Boost: Running the tires 3-5 psi above the manufacturer’s recommendation has improved my fuel economy, a helpful tip for hybrid drivers in particular. The CrossClimate 2 tires are a premium, dependable tire that inspires safety and confidence for year-round use while providing peace of mind for the safety-conscious drivers. The only tire I trust for my family.

Excellent upgrade after replacing the tires that came on my Jetta

So I drive for a living as a courier and purchase tires every couple of years. This is my third set of CrossClimate's and the grip and handling is such a huge upgrade from the stock tires that come on the vehicles. It's always a little stark because as tires get to the end of their life, you feel them lose their grip in wet and dry situations, but they roll very easy which leads to the best mileage you'll ever get in a vehicle. When swapping to these you instantly notice the grip on turns, how straight the car stays even when tires slightly spin in the rain, and the significantly shorter stopping distance. I typically drop about 4-5 mph in small sedans upon initial switching, but the safety advantages make driving so much easier on my mind! We've had these on a 2020 Honda Civic Hatchback, a 2015 Toyota Sienna Minivan, and now on my 2023 VW Jetta. The improved performance and safety was felt immediately when switching from all the vehicles previous tires, including another Michelin in the van. So while I wish they rolled a little better for gas mileage, I still have to give them 5 stars for overall performance and safety! *They are also very quiet!

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!

Great wet traction, quiet, comfortable ride

Purchased these tires for my 2012 Camry LE 4 Cyl based on the recommendations of the Tire Shop and Michelin as a replacement to the Michelin Premier tires that wore out quicker than expected. Prior to purchasing, I was concerned about road noise given the tire's aggressive tread design. Thankfully looks are deceiving, as the tires are VERY quiet, extremely comfortable, and soak up road imperfections with ease. They really grip the road very well and are AMAZING in wet weather as this was the reason why I went for these tires. If these last a long time I will be very happy.

Great Tires - Got Them For Both Cars

I got these tires for my 2011 Honda CR-V. I loved the quiet ride and it felt like I had a new car. I waited until mid-winter so I could see how they handled our North Dakota cold and snow. I’ve been quite impressed with how they’ve handled all kinds of weather. So, I just bought another set of four for my wife’s 2017 Toyota RAV4.

Great choice for wet roads

I have traveled about 5000 miles on these new tires to date. My wife and I took a road trip and traveled extensively on 2 lane county and state roads. We experienced some heavy rains in Wyoming and the Dakotas. These tires eat standing water like it isn't there. They corner and brake very true on wet and dry pavement. I was pessimistic about the tread design but it does channel water away from the tires very efficiently. I haven't had a chance to drive on snow or ice but have no fear that they will perform equally well in those conditions. Also, they are much quieter than the Continentals Ford loves to put on cars. I am very glad I bought these and will again if they wear as advertised.

Great Tire

Bought these last summer in preparation for this winter. It gave me a few months to also see how these performed as everyday tires. Overall, I am very pleased with these tires. On dry and wet pavement I have received good handling and traction. This morning, where I am (Fort Collins, CO), the city was surprised with a bit of a dump. The forecast was for a trace of snow, but I woke up to 5 inches. The city was caught off guard and had not prepared the streets by pre-applying mag chloride. So the morning commute was through 5 inch snow on the residential streets and tracks and a layer of ice on the main arterials. I had no problem negotiating any of it with these tires with the exception of starting from a standing stop where I got a little bit of spin where it was ice. But then, the 4WD and AWD vehicles had the same thing. Shout out to these drivers, the ones I saw realize that 4WD helps you go, but doesn't help you stop. Everyone was driving for the conditions and I saw no accidents on my 6 mile commute. About the only 'con' I have seen is a reduction of gas mileage. In the city, I've had about a 10% reduction in mileage. On the highway, not so much. But I bought these as an everyday all season tire that will get me through those few storms that Colorado receives. I've been very happy with them and unless Michelin or someone else comes out with a better tire, I will purchase another set when these wear out.

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.
