I live at 5000’ in the northern Sierra Nevada Mountains . My 2018 Subaru Forester limited is very good except OEM tires. Hated switching to studded snow tires , so after much research order a set of CrossClimate tires. They are slightly louder than OEM but much quieter than dedicated studded snow tires. Tires are Magical in snow and ice , so impressed! No more switching to dedicated winter tires. Will sell those . I found my lifetime tires for truly all season and terrain - pavement, dirt/gravel , forest roads , and especially winter snow/ ice.

I should say up front that I have personally driven well over a half a million miles on multiple sets of Michelin pick-up truck and auto tires over the past thirty years, and have been very impressed with the ride, performance, and durability of every set. Much of those miles were on interstate highways, with lots of surface street travel. So when I bought a set of four Cross Climate II's three months ago I was very interested in the Cross Climate II tread design and a bit excited to see how it would perform. Well lets just say I was not disappointed. The first week was dry highway and surface roads, the tires felt great! as have all my previous sets of Michelin tires have. I did get a chance early on to checkout the side wall stability at high speed when I had to dodge some significant road debris (a semi truck leaf spring) at highway speed (75mph). The Cross Climate II's responded with true stability and easily passed the high speed road debris dodge test with flying colors. On the third week I was able to check them out in a major down pour, I drove into a rain storm doing 75 mph. I initially cut my speed back to 60 mph to get a feel of tires meeting the very wet road surface, and they felt great. So with no traffic around I tilted the wheel back and fourth slightly to feel the tread stability while driving on water, and they felt glued to the road, so I being a bit of risk taker I took the speed back up to 75mph and the performance was the same; excellent! So that brings me to today my first drive of the year through three or four inches of icy wet heavy snow, tracking was very good through lane changing. The Cross Climate II's handled the snow and slush with no problem. The Cross Climate II Michelin tires deserve five stars and two thumbs up in my book! In closing this review I tell a little story about some advise I overheard when I was younger working American. I overheard a older work colleague say there was two purchases where quality was imperative and he would never go cheap on; shoes and mattresses, because if not in one your in the other. So when I started driving and purchasing tires I added tires to his adage, so there are three things where quality was imperative and I would never go cheap on; shoes, mattresses and tires, because if not in / on one your in / on the other.

I bought these tires to replace the aging factory ones on my Camry about four or five years ago. They lasted a good 75,000 miles and still had life left in them when I replaced them. In terms of performance, they did exceptionally well in the rain, even in a torrential downpour. They were very quiet up until the last year or so, but that's to be expected as the rubber hardens and the tread wears away. If you're looking for a tire that will last, look no further.

Installed these mid December on a Honda Crosstour. Since installed had snow storms and driven in rain. Handled much better in snow than I expected. Crosstour felt like it had winter tires on. If these wear better than the previous Michelin’s I replaced ,, than I found a tire I will stay with. Impressed so far.

I replaced the OEM all seasons on my new 2024 Taos with a set of CrossClimate 2s. I CC2s on my previous Tiguan and they performed well summer and winter. I ran them for a year and a half until I traded the vehicle. Living in an apartment, the all weather tires make sense -- no storage issues and no seasonal swaps.

I wanted to replace OEM tires on Lexus RX350 within first week but decided to wait on CrossClimate2 to become available. It was worth the wait, Lexus now rides like a luxury vehicle. Ride is much smoother and quieter and overall more solid feel when making left/right turns. Handles very well and provides confident feeling on very wet roads, expect the same in the winter. Great tire!

Our new vehicle came with Toyo A36 OEM tires. However having the vehicle delivered in December, we switched tires and rims for Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV tires. During that winter I read various unfavourable reviews of the Toyo A36 tires. I also read very favourable reviews of the Michelin CrossClimate2 four season tires. When it came time to change out our winter tires for all season tires, we had the brand new Toyo's removed from the aluminum rims and had the CrossClimate2 tires installed. The CrossClimate2 tires have a very aggressive tread. I jokingly call them 'tractor tires'. However these ride extremely well, quiet and comfortable, eliminating most road imperfections. These are great in rain and slippery road conditions, hugging the pavement. Alternatively these are excellent on gravel roads and offer a very controlled ride. These are proving to be a formidible tire for spring, summer and autumn driving.

I got a set last year. I had Bridgestone Mud&Snows on my Outback Touring. Absolute garbage in snow. An AWD that continuously got stuck. Terrible hydroplaning in heavy rain. I researched and found raves about the Cross Climate. Then I had to search like crazy. Everyone was "sold out." Finally found a set, had them delivered and a local shop installed them. The result? Amazingly good handling. No hydroplaning even going through standing water. As far as getting stuck in moderate snow? These tires turned my Subaru into a snowmobile! Going forward all our AWD vehicles will be wearing these at replacement time. Thanks for such an exceptional tire. Jake

Bought new for my Subaru Outback after extensive research. Met my expectations and more when driving in snow on Donner Summit in Tahoe in blizzard. Highway shut down while cars were stuck, spinning out, not equipped, I drove with confidence and safely made it to my destination. Great tire!

Purchased 4 CrossClimate tires two weeks ago to replace Perellis on my 2025 Volvo sedan. Had an opportunity to drive these in all conditions and I must say, what an awesome tire in the snow and wet pavement. However, on dry pavement, expressway driving 70-80 MPH, getting a vibration. Not an obnoxious vibration, but definitely noticeable. Also, the tires make the car feel loose, wanting to move side to side on a dry expressway. Lastly, my fuel economy isn't nearly as good as before. Back to the dealer in a few days to check the balance on these tires.
