I really dislike these tires. After putting about 2000 miles on them, I've lost about 10% fuel economy (from MXM4). They also transmit a noticeable vibration through the steering wheel, most prevalent on smooth pavement. Finally, I don't feel confident in their lateral grip when pushed a little. The only positive I can come up with is I am surprised at the low noise level considering the lousy road feel. Hopefully they'll redeem themselves in snowy conditions. I definitely would have gone with the MXM4 again (4 stars, winter grip a little wanting) but they were not available when I needed tires (nor are they available now to take advantage of the satisfaction guarantee).

When I bought my SUV, first thing I did is go to my tire shop for Michelin tires. I wanted Defenders which I have and love on my truck, but they didn't come in my new SUV's size. As we're in the Pacific Northwest, the shop suggested the Cross Climate 2. It's been several years of great driving in rain, snow, on gravel roads, lots of mountain roads (where black ice can be unavoidable), and these tires never give me pause. I just brought my car in for the tires to be rotated at 40K mikes, and the shop said my tires have lots of wear left; plus the wear is nice and even. The only downside is that I've lost several mpg in fuel efficiency, but when I'm safely driving 4,000 ft mountain passes in driving rain or snow, that seems like a fair trade off.

Bought these tires a week ago and it has rained ever since. Traction is great. Had to stop at a light on a hill, the car in front of me spun his tires when the light turned green, I got going right away. Quieter ride than previous OEM tires. Liking these tires so far

Love these tires. Living ion the west coast of Canada the snowflake means they can stay on all year. Running now on both vehicles because I was tired of swapping out tires. But… on the Tesla I would like an option for the noise foam inclusion or a tech to tell me why it is not just default on all tires??

The traction is bad when it's raining or on slippery roads.

Best tires for traction in snow and rain!

First day, good traction, low noise on my Highlander Hybrid

Great in rain & snow, increased gas milage, Very smooth riding

Good traction either on dry road or snowy road with mud. Easy turn with silence inside.

Just bought and love the feel and look.
