Great Traction, Smooth Ride

I purchased my tires in March 2021. I've put quite a few miles on them since with diverse climate and road conditions. Simply, they perform GREAT! They hug the road. My main reason for buying them was in the (heavy) rain at higher speeds on interstates, and off road--dirt/stones. I'm really very pleased. Needless to say good performance in snow. They also seem to hug the roads while navigating on bends/curves in the roads. I'm pleased with the purchase and highly recommend the tire. I will say I am waiting to see how long they last--how many miles I will get from them. That is the only thing I don't know yet! So make the purchase and know you can have confidence in the tires.

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.

CrossClimate 2 - My New Normal Tire

I've had these on my 2014 Avalon Limited for about a year now. I got them after the surprise snowstorm we had because I saw they were fine in the summer, too. These are honestly the best tires I've ever had. I've always wanted a quieter tire, especially on highway sections where they've put down a layer of gravel over tar, making it very noisy to drive on. There's still some noise, of course, but this is the first tire that has ever made a noticeable difference. I've had no issues with how the car handles or anything. I had to dodge a surprise armadillo on the road recently and had to make a pretty aggressive maneuver to steer around him. My back end only lost traction for a fraction of a second and my steering remained solid. I also noticed a big difference in how well these tires cut through those water ruts that are on some highways. There's another instance where I've seen a big difference with these tires. There's far less resistance when you drive along those extended patches of road water. Unfortunately, we didn't get any snow or sleet this past winter, so there's nothing I can say right now about how well they do there. I waited through the whole winter to write this review, but I decided to go ahead and post it without the winter report.

2 NEW 2 COMMENT & RATE

Bought 4 of them in feb.2022. Find them a bit noisy and even though wasn't much snow but noticed going thru snow twice the suv steers to the right a bit ... concerned for the next winter, always have purchased my second tires @ Michelin HOPE THEY STAND UP FOR THEIR QUALITY.

Luxury ride

Wanted to replace OEM Bridgestone on 2020 Lexus RX350 after the first week but decided to wait 8 months for CrossClimate2 to become available. It was worth the wait, my Lexus now rides like luxury vehicle it is. Ride is much smoother, noticeably quieter and overall more solid feel when making left/right turns. Handles very well and provides confident feeling on very wet roads, hoping for same in the winter. Great tire!

One of the quietist tires I've owned

Was somewhat unsure how these tires were going to sound in real world use. I was pleasantly surprised. After nearly 1000 miles these are likely the quietist tires I've owned. I can't wait to see how they work out in the snow. They are terrific in wet weather.

Fantastic tire, highly recommended

Outstanding and very happy. 2010 Honda Element AWD in light snow in cool temps was great for an all weather tire. Very low noise level, great ride and handling in a crossover vehicle. I can't comment on fuel milage as we just switched to summer fuels around the time of purchase, my guess is average to good. I live in a ski resort and this is my year round tire until the snow flies then I go to studded. Perfect setup.

Love the Mud & Snow rating

I bought these tires 10 months ago for my Toyota Sienna van. They give the ride of conventional all-season radials, yet have an M&S rating so that I am legal in the winter if I go out of town to higher altitudes in the winter. A great balance/compromise if you have similar needs.

No or tiny mileage issues

I was a bit skeptical due to reviews claiming drastically reduced mpg. I have not found that at all. Seems virtually identical compared to the OEM Cont. Cross Contacts on my '19 Acura MDX. Overall 23-24mpg in Montana. Keep in mind lots of mountains and 75-85 mph. I've had tires on MDX's with slightly better dry performance, but not a deal breaker. The CrossClimate2 seems to be a super 3 peak tire for all seasons.
