Not Enough time to evaluate

I bought the Cross Climate 2's based on The Tire Rack and Subaru Owners Forums opinions. Most owners of The Subaru Outback replaced their OEM tires with The Cross Climate 2's. I am disappointed that Michelin refuses to offer the updated Cross Climate 3's in the US and we are stuck with the "old" design Cross Climate 2's. I have not driven a great deal over the last three months , perhaps a total of one thousand miles. In my mind it is difficult to give a proper evaluation. My expectations of the tire are better long term durability, adhesion, braking, traction and road noise. So far I have not experienced anything to demonstrate the Cross Climate 2 exceeds the performance of The Vredestein Quatrac 5 that were mounted on my car previously. We shall see.

Fantastic for 1 Year then very poor.

I purchased the cross climate 2s from my local tire discounters. The first year was fantastic great wet and dry / snow performance. From what I was told Michelin states that their tires do not lose performance over time. In my experience putting them on a 4 cylinder honda accord after 1 year and around 6,000 miles even after a tire rotation if I give my stock 4 cylinder more than 10% throttle I spin all over the place even in light rain and light snow. Im very upset and disappointed with the performance of this tire and have to drive very slowly wherever I go in any kind of weather condition except sunny and dry.

The best tires ever

The best tires ever. I've discovered them in 2022 when I purchased my first set of 4 for my 2013 Camry. I rolled them up for over 110,000km whiting 3 years. Still in good shape. I had to change them with a new set of 4 due to the winter conditions in Canada. My car is a totally different car in terms of comfort, handling, performance and traction no matter the weather since the upgrade.

Great features!

Bought these for my 2021 Toyota Rav 4 SXE Hybrid. Haven't driven in much snow yet (one time in the mtns.) but love the grippy-ness of the tires so far on wet/snowy roads in Colorado. These tires are great and I hope they last several years as they are not cheap tires. I'm all about having great tires on my cars for safety & control. There is a little bit more road noise but not that bad. I usually am playing my spotify music in my car so not a big deal. I would highly recommend these CrossClimate tires.

Excellent features and road handling/traction!

This is my SECOND set of CrossClimate2 tires. 🎉 Excellent features and road handling/traction. Very low road noise for an all-weather tire. Handles very smoothly on the highway. Excellent traction in rain and snow. 60,000 mile warranty. There was still quite a bit of tread remaining on my first set of CrossClimate2 tires once I reached 60K miles. So, quality & durability are superior! The CrossClimate2 will definitively be my THIRD set when the time arises. 🥳

Great all season tire

Have had these installed in recent months with over 1,000+ miles on them so far. Had a set of 4 installed on our 2014 and 2018 Toyota RAV4 vehicles. Great ride and traction so far, thru rain, 3-4" of snow and light ice. Definitely like them so far. The ride doesn't seem any nosier and our MPG is in the same range as before. The only thing I notice so far is that with the tread spacing being larger, small rocks / salt, can get stuck in the tread. Not an issue for me since I live in the city. I bought them since Consumer Reports ranks them very high and they predict 90,000+ miles for tread life. Almost bought the Defenders until i read that review and the Tire Test on Tirerack.com. Happy so far!

Exceeded Expectations

This tire has exceeded my expectations. I've only purchased Michelin tires (except once) for my vehicles. As recently as a month before I bought these actually. I wish I would have decided on these for my other purchase. They are good but nothing like these. If you are looking for a true multi weather (not season) tire the CrossClimate2 is truly amazing. This winter was a great test bed for this review. We've had 8+ in snow falls, sleet, ice, rain, and nice weather so far and I can't say enough about how well this tire handles the elements. Really amazing in rain. I don't want to say that I speed but I will say that I'm not sure at what speed you could get these tires to hydroplane. I couldn't get them to. I don't hear any road noise at high speed and was impressed with the snow and ice capabilities too. These are great if you live in an area where you truly have all types of weather each year. When it's time to replace the factory Michelin's on my wife's car, this will be my choice. No more research needed. The price tag is well worth it. When you cost justify what you feel is expensive you have to keep in mind that you will rely on your tires for years. You should always want a high quality tire under you.

Great so far in 4" of snow.

I've had these tires and when hog two snow storms so far. One we had about 4" and roads were not great to drive on. Snow plows where just trying to keep up on the main roads, on secondary roads where I was it deep. With. my vehicle in locked axle mode with both front and rear locked, AWD, I had no p ruble driving over the snow covered roads. I expereincd a minor slip, but was able to recover quickly. Driving in this weather you need to drive slower, but thre tires kept up and kept me going.

Great tires these cross climate 2s!

I love these Michelin tires on my Awd Dodge charger ! Nice quiet comfortable ride Great grip in the turns and really sure footed in the snow. I did a lot of research between these tires and the competition and I'm glad I chose these Michelins which were highly rated online as well as by a friend who put a set on his Jeep grand Cherokee !

Great rain traction improvement

I purchased these to improve traction on our 2014 Honda Odyssey. In rain it had issue on acceleration with slippage and in snow was much worse. After these were put on the slippage was reduced by nearly 90%, in snow the improvement is good but not quite that level. I see no increase in road noise which is great. A bit too early to say anything about wear and durability.
