I purchased these tires in September 2021. I did a lot of online research and the reviews were very positive on the traction of these tires in the rain and snow. Since I purchased them for my winter car (in Michigan) this was a huge determination in purchasing these tires. I have been very disappointed in the grip in the rain and snow. The tires easily spin when not even giving the vehicle (Dodge Journey) much gas. I paid a premium for these tires and would not purchase again based on performance.

People seem to be getting confused about a couple points: 1. Wandering / Poor tracking: this tends to happen with untrained staff mounting all four tires on the wheels one direction, which makes directional tread patterns like these backwards on one side of the car, which results in poor tracking and wandering. I have had tire shops do this, and it feels exactly how some "disappointed" reviewers are describing their performance. 2. Poor MPG: Michelin has replied here to a bunch of people that fresh tire compounds result in lower mpg at first. That's not untrue necessarily, but so far people have ignored that new tires are physically larger than worn tires, even at the same nominal size. The worn tires are giving artificially high MPG figures (they aren't going as far as the odometer says), and the new ones are often giving artificially low figures (going farther than the odometer says, since they are often set for an average tire age), so jumping from worn to new makes it falsely appear that there is a significant MPG difference. So, don't get it twisted! These are great tires, especially in wet environments. Even at double the price of standard "used car grade" tires, I bought two more sets of these, so every car would be as safe and comfortable. I only wish they came in a light truck load rating so I could feel better taking them on forest roads.

I bought these tires about 3000km ago and have been driving mainly in summer conditions. We recently got some wet slushy snow with ice conditions. Performance in both was impressive. Summer was a smooth and quiet ride. Great handling. For the snowy and slushy conditions, they had no problem handling the slush and snow. I tried to spin out, drove through a couple of snowbanks, and went up some pretty steep inclines, but they really handled well. No loss of traction and solid performance.

Baffling how amazing these things are. I’m a very aggressive driver these obviously don’t have the extreme dry weather grip a dedicated summer tire would but I’ll trade that any day for what these things are capable of in the wet. Who was that famous Spaniard formula one racer who lived for a wet race track? Ayrton Senna ? That’s who I feel like in the wet with these tires. Amazing. It’s pouring right now this twisty backroad I use all the time that gets lakes on it when it rains and has thrown every vehicle I’ve ever owned into massive hydroplaning didn’t move me an inch today and I hit the lake that formed over this hairpin like I was Senna. Amazing. Third time now I’ve been in white knuckle rainy weather and I didn’t have a care in the world. Way above posted speed limits. Honestly wanna get my car on a racetrack and see if I’m fact these do have limits. All this and sixty thousand mile expected life?? Unbeatable. Nothing compares. These things Legitimately throw the water away from the tires if that makes sense. Wouldn’t know it was raining / pouring if it wasn’t for wipers needing to be on at full speed. Honestly can’t wait for the snow but I’m guessing these things are going to unflappable and unstoppable when the snow falls. Wow. And never in my 35 years of driving have I ever or wolf I ever thought I’d be writing a review for tires but here we are. They’re that good

Much better than expected.  Really good in the deep wet snow.   Excellent in wet.  Also good on dry, in fact very good. I run studded Michelin North 4 in winter for our brutal climate (calgary) but I had to leave them on late into the spring as we get late snow and my summers were performance summers and you dont dare go on any snow what so ever.  Three sets is too much for 90 percent of drivers but this saves my studs for the dec / jan feb when I need then.  In fact they are so good on dry that when my performance summers wear out i'll just use these. in my size.  225/40/18    the Cross climate 2 are 90 percent of my pilot sports   The compromise for winter was not as much as I was expecting and the same for summer ,  They are a tiny bit noisy compares to a luxury touring tire.

Bought these last fall for my 2017 XT5. The tires perform well in all conditions, very quiet under all highway conditions, concrete and asphalt. Looking for a second set for another of my cars. I rotate every 10k miles, the first rotation highlighted no noticeable wear pattern. Way to go Michelin…….

Purchased in Sept 2021. Very nice ride for 2019 Forester. Tires have howling noise at 25-35 mph then noise goes away with deeper tread noise. Dealer insists it is tires and not car. Overall very happy except for the around town howling noise. Have same tires on another 2015 Forester and noise is barely audible.

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.

I wanted a tire that will give me confidence to hit the road, my fiancé suggested Michelin! I researched and decided crossclimate2 will do it, I got 4 tires and my car now is as smooth and I never thought it could become! It looks sleek too, thank you!

I bought these tires for my VW Passat. I have ave a steep driveway. In the winter it was a real problem for my Hankook all season tires. When I saw the tread pattern on these tires it made me think of the treads on a snowmobile. I took a shot on them. I couldn’t be happier. These tires rip up my driveway with ease. They also have incredible grip going down the snowy driveway. These tires are the best tires I’ve ever had. Thanks Michelin!
