We have a New Pathfinder and New Qx60. We put the cross climates on the qx60 and the defender on the Pathfinder. We put them on them one day apart so both tires are New. The ride comfort and mpg with the defender is much better. The cross climate is much harder noiser and eats fuel. Unless you are I'm major snow alot the defender is a better every day tire. The cross climate is mire of a sport tire with great winter performance. We are going to switch them out for the defender this week.

I think that this is a great tire! I replaced my Michelin Defenders with the Cross Climate 2. The traction seems much better and I haven’t noticed a significant interior noise increase from them in comparison. At first, based on some reviews, I had some concerns. Also, no matter the tread left on older tires, I consider the age of a tire to be very important to me. Nearing six years, I will replace older tires. The comfort of these tires is perfectly fine. And, living in Minnesota, the versatility is important to me. A disabled veteran.

I am so glad I got the tires when I did. My car is still new and I thought my regular tires would be good enough for the winter here in Upstate New York, but the first hint of frost and I was sliding already. So I got my new CrossClimate tires about a month ago and I went through the foot high snow of our latest snowstorm without any problems.

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.

I have only had these All Weather tires since spring and have yet to try them in the snow. But so far on dry pavement and I heavy rain conditions I am very pleased. The tires are quiet and seem to retain traction in heavy rain and puddle conditions. No signs of hydroplaning. I will be able to give a better overall review after the winter season

Drove 17,000 miles cross country on these tires. They are good for paved roads, but the moment you hit any sort of gravel drivway, dirt road to campground or sandy path they REALLY suck. My car is not an offroad vehicle but on occasion we would have to take a gravel road or drive to an established campsite on dirt or sand these tires have horrible traction. The whole car shifts side to side when breaking. I have not used these in the snow but I don't plan to as they cannot even handle a little sand in the street.

I purchased a set of these tires for my Santa Fe in April 2022 in preparation for a cross-country road trip. I immediately experienced a MUCH quieter ride. On the trip itself I encountered a wide range of weather conditions: hot and windy, light rain and heavy rain, and snow/ice. These tires handled it all with aplomb. Another reviewer mentioned a decrease in mpg with these tires, and that may be the case, albeit only a slight decrease in my case. For me, the improved footing over a wider range of weather conditions is worth it.

I got these tires in spring of 2021. I commute and put 25,000 miles on a year. Great ride, low noise on highway. First snow was yesterday so got to see how they do. Very good! They are on a 2017 fusion front wheel drive. If they pass North Dakota weather, they're good for any one reading this. I didn't see a drop in mileage like so note. And commuting that matters to me.buy them!

I highly recommend these. My wife and I put these on our Nissan Murano. We live in North Dakota. The roads here can get quite bad in the winter. My wife was in an accident(due to bad roads), she lost control and totalled my truck. I wanted her to feel comfortable again driving. These tires are the best tires I've ever seen in the winter. The control on bad roads is amazing. Highly recommend these if you deal with 6 months of winter. Only downfall is they're sighly louder at 80-85mph in the summer. Not bad enough for me to give them anything short of 5 stars.

I am a faithful Michelin user for 30 plus years (driving 64 yrs) on light pickups, full size cars and mid size cars, utility van, have a Yukon XL 4 WD with 264,000 miles that has never had anything other than Michelin. I have never been disappointed with Michelin tires until now. Put a set of Cross Climate 2 on a 2017 Ford Escape at 51,638 miles and the car handles great, like an expensive sports car. However the tires are excessively noisy to the point I thought something was wrong with the car, the wheels or what ever. I paid three different tire shops to evaluate, one of which is my primary tire dealer and they all concluded nothing wrong with the car, it's the tires. It sounds like a pickup with a cheap set of worn out tires which I have owned before. The Cross Climate 2 will easily last 60,000 miles or more on this vehicle which means we must tolerate the noise another minimum 36,940 miles until time for a new set of tires. The tires perform very well as advertised with the exception of the noise. The noise is disappointing and embarrassing, especially when we have guest onboard. Photos upon request.
