I’m using Michelin CrossClimate 2 in size 235/65 R17 on an Audi Q5 quattro (SUV). Overall, the tire performs very well in dry conditions and also handles regular rain without any issues. For everyday driving on wet or dry asphalt, the stability and comfort are good. However, the tire shows serious limitations as soon as there is wet snow or slush on the road, especially around +2°C. Braking performance becomes very weak, and the car tends to slide forward even at low speeds, around 15–30 km/h. In these conditions, the tire simply cannot provide sufficient grip, and stopping distances become dangerously long. Because of this, I was forced to purchase a new set of proper winter tires, as continuing to drive with the CrossClimate 2 in these conditions poses a real risk of an accident and serious danger. A similar issue appears when the road is only slightly damp after light rain during colder autumn/winter days — braking and stopping distances noticeably increase, even when driving slowly. Conclusion: Excellent tire for dry, wet, and mild winter conditions, but not reliable in slush, wet snow, or low temperatures. If you live in an area where wet snow is common, this tire may not be a safe choice during winter.

Just had them installed, wow what a difference from previous tires. Very smooth, quiet and definitely a handle ing improvement as well. Can’t wait to drive them in snow or rain but expect the same. Only issue is trying to get them registered for the Michelin Promise Plan (like my other Michelin purchase a couple years ago) as dealer did not do it?

I bought my tires in the spring of 2023. I’ve been driving on Michelin CrossClimate All-Season tires for a while, and I couldn’t be happier. From day one they transformed the driving experience — the ride is noticeably smooth and confident. I seriously love my tires! Comfort & Ride Quality: The car feels composed and supple over city streets and highway miles. Road noise is low, and bumps are absorbed cleanly, so long drives are far less fatiguing. All‑Weather Performance: These tires handle rain, dry pavement, and light snow with impressive consistency. Wet braking and cornering feel secure — I’ve had no worries even in heavy downpours. In colder temperatures and light winter conditions they maintain traction and stability better than many other all‑season tires I’ve tried. Traction & Handling: Grip is excellent across varied surfaces. Cornering is predictable and responsive, and the tires inspire confidence when accelerating or changing lanes. Traction from stop to go is strong and reliable. Durability & Wear: So far they show even wear and good tread life. Michelin’s build quality gives me confidence they’ll last and remain safe over many miles. Overall Value: These tires deliver a premium blend of comfort, safety, and year‑round versatility. If you want one set that performs well in most conditions without swapping seasonal tires, the CrossClimate All‑Season is a great choice. Summary: Smooth ride, dependable traction in all weather, and confident handling — I love these tires and highly recommend them.

We put these tires on our 23 Hyundai Palisade and we have about 5,400 on them so far and are very happy with them! We did a road trip from ND to Oregon and on to Nevada. Drove on dry pavement, snow/compacted ice, thru a foot of fresh snow and rain of all levels thru flat terrain to mountain terrain. The tires handled all and were very quiet and provided a great ride. Very happy with the tires and recommend highly.

Half-life update (30,000 miles). After a fresh rotation and balance, the tires feel new. The 5300lb Lexus handles great with even wear on all four. I recommend these tires to all who would listen. The confidence in bad weather is worth the price. The tires were purchased 12/19/22.

I put the climate 2 tires on my wife's nissan kicks because it's a smaller suv I wanted tires that had good winter and summer traction. The tires run smooth on the car and my wife is very pleased with the winter traction she has gotten so far. As they say you get what you pay for and I think we did.

This is my second set of these tires and I couldn’t be happier with them. They have excellent grip in the rain! While they are no specifically snow tires, they are not bad in the snow. They are long wearing and honestly, if my cars factory set camber was adjustable, they would not have worn in the inside. I still had 7/10 tread on all 4 tires after putting on 69,200 miles, except for the very insides. I had wheel alignments done when I rotated them and after discussing this with several mechanics, it’s my car and not the tires. My gas mileage increased by 4-5 mpg.

I replaced my tires on my Kia Telluride as it was time for new tires. This was the best decision to go with these tires. For the rainy season, I never ever feel like my vehicle ever skips or hydroplanes. These tires cut through the water and the track marks where water sits. During the recent winter storm, these tires have worked really well in snow, sleet, and ice, and my Telluride is not AWD. With all the different weather, my kids even notice that the vehicle never changes traction. I have not had any issues with braking in icy or wet conditions. So far, they still look good. I hope they continue to last. Note: I am not a person that writes a lot of reviews; however, I feel like this is a great product.

I am very well pleased with my Michelin Tires-Cross Climate. The driving factor behind my Cross Climate purchase was safety. The fact that I bought Michelin was a given. Michelin has been my go to for all of our vehicles for years. Michelin brand has represented quality and safety while providing many miles of dependable service. The ride is also smooth and comfortable. Thank you Michelin!!

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.
