These tires are our first replacement tires since purchasing our car. We have a Subaru and it is all wheel drive. We selected the Cross climate because it is supposed to be great in all weather conditions. So far, we have noticed how much nicer the car handles. It brakes better. Even the wet tread pattern it leaves on the driveway is nicer.

Handles great in rain and snow

I just purchased these tires while on vacation because my old tire could not be repaired. This is an amazing tire. Great in the snow, fantastic handling, and no more noise than my pirelli scorpions. You would expect some noise with the aggressive tread pattern but that is not the case. What noise there is seems to be quieter and a lower frequency. Very happy!

I've seen and heard a lot of comments about these tires being noisy. I've had a set on my 2013 Dodge Journey SXT (front wheel drive) for 4 years. They were fine at first, no noticeable noise. When I went for my first rotation, the service writer asked how I liked them. I said they were fine and he mentioned that some folks complain of the noise. (side story-they stripped my wheel locks with their impact wrench. Had to go to Dodge dealer, who ended up having to blast them off with a jackhammer!) After all that and the rotation...dang! Noisy!!! Had I not noticed until the guy mentioned it??? I wasn't sure. After a few months of noise, it occurred to me that the ordeal with the wheel locks may have blown my alignment. So I had one done, and like magic, the noise was gone. I've driven out the rest of the tread miles on that set, smooth and quiet. I'm about to go get a new set next weekend. Oh and by the way, they're very impressive in heavy rain. Living in the south, never had a chance to try them on snow. To all the naysayers, I say "make sure your alignment is good before posting negative reviews!"

I just bought these tires to replace my old tires from 2008 on my Infiniti with 26,300 miles in my car. I spent days shopping for a great tire. Michelin definitely makes the best tires in the world. Been using them for 40 years. These are higher price but well worth it. No road noise at all. Same gas mileage. These are awesome tires. They definitely work very well in all types of weather. I love how they handle and look. They look sporty on my crossover SUV. Most mechanics recommend these if you can afford them. You get what you pay for. Superior quality. Highly recommend.

Chose because of Consumer Reports review. Despite my appmt not recorded/listed, I was in and out swiftly and service people were extremely nice. I have not received $10 off offer for new credit card offer however.

Wrong tire! I ordered Michelin Defender II

Ordered tires. Scheduled installation. The problems started at installation. Club staff stated we centric rings for the rims. The scheduled vehicles has never needed these, the rims were custom made for the vehicle. After leaving the Sam's Club Addison with the 4 tires and returning home, realized that the facility did not return our key for the locking lug nuts. Next day, found out that 2 of the tires were not ours. They apologized. Have had tires installed at Sam's Club South Point (2 times), Sam's Club Addison (1 time)and other locations...no issues, and at a few Walmart stores.

After nearly a year of use, I've started to notice that this tire is getting quite loud. In fact, I can feel the vibrations when I'm driving at speeds of 40-90 km/h. On a more positive note, the tire performed exceptionally well during its first winter. The traction was excellent on both snowy and icy roads. I'm curious to see how it will perform in its second winter.

Tires are great when they are new, now I have had them for 2 years I will never buy Michelin tires again. Tire were great the first and part of the second year. Now they howl and extremely noisy, worse than aggressive pickup tires. Also I had the tires rotated every 5,000 miles. DO NOT BUY THE CROSSCLIMATE TIRES!
