I bought the Cross Climate 2's based on The Tire Rack and Subaru Owners Forums opinions. Most owners of The Subaru Outback replaced their OEM tires with The Cross Climate 2's. I am disappointed that Michelin refuses to offer the updated Cross Climate 3's in the US and we are stuck with the "old" design Cross Climate 2's. I have not driven a great deal over the last three months , perhaps a total of one thousand miles. In my mind it is difficult to give a proper evaluation. My expectations of the tire are better long term durability, adhesion, braking, traction and road noise. So far I have not experienced anything to demonstrate the Cross Climate 2 exceeds the performance of The Vredestein Quatrac 5 that were mounted on my car previously. We shall see.

Research, reviews and tests were mixed on the cross climate 2 but I bought them anyway. They are not the worst tires I have ever had but not anything like the Yokahama Parada Spec X I took off either. They are good in rain, haven't driven in snow yet but they are rated high for snow but my issues with this tire is on dry tar. No changes to vehicle except new tires. The car wants to wonder now. It is difficult to keep it going straight at any speed. The car feels squishy on dry tar now. Doesn't feel stable anymore. I don't track my mileage but the car seems to drag now so I suspect the mileage decrease complaints are probably correct. The tires do make noise at times. Mainly on dry tar with the windows open and you are stepping on the gas. You must over inflate these tires to increase the stability. I run 40 psi in front for better steering but it helps only slightly and that may wear them out prematurely. The bottom line is that there are a lot of choices in tires no need to put up with the negatives of these tires.

I've been driving on these tires for 12,000 miles. These tires work extremely well in heavy rain with no hydroplaning at all. Barley can get these tires to break free under heavy acceleration. Tried them out in 6 inches of snow, they worked extremely well for an AS tire. Great acceleration and braking traction. Tracked very straight when at speed. In the dry, they feel like a Performance Summer tire. They are a little noisy in the first 3000 miles, now they sound great. I recommend these tires to all my friends and family. I have been using Bridgestone 980 AS, for 3 sets, and these are far better. Used on a 2019 Hyundai Elantra Sport FWD.

I put the climate 2 tires on my wife's nissan kicks because it's a smaller suv I wanted tires that had good winter and summer traction. The tires run smooth on the car and my wife is very pleased with the winter traction she has gotten so far. As they say you get what you pay for and I think we did.

I bought these two months ago and have a couple thousand miles on them. They are far superior to the OEM Pirellis as you don't feel every bump in the road and are much quieter. In addition, the traction has been excellent on wet and dry pavement. Initially, I looked at these, and another brand, and the retailer told me to get these "hands down." He was 100% correct.

Just got those tires a week ago from Subaru dealership. I drive a Subaru ascent touring. The positive: quiet ride and good grip. The negative: there is an absolutely annoying vibration that occurs at greater than 72 miles. Took it back to the Subaru dealership for rebalancing ( one week tires) . I was told those tires are expected to do that and this is why they don't have it in stock ( they had to get them them from their regional warehouse). I have at least 3 trips of 2 hours plus a month on the Kansas turnpike (75 mph speed limit) and i am REALLY not looking forward for the next 3 years….

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've had the CrossClimate2's on my 2019 RDX Advance for four days, a few hundred miles, and here are my initial impressions: *Car drives and rides better than it ever has *Got caught in a drenching downpour and never felt so secure *Quieter than any tires I've ever owned Should be a good winter tire for us in Maine.

I haven't had them long but they are a huge upgrade from my stock tires. It snowed recently in nyc and I had them put on. My car was getting stuck constantly before these. They are too good, they give me more confidence with my car on ice and snow then I think the low profile is sometimes able to handle. It feel like I have a truck, my tires have not slipped once so far.

OMG...these tires walk through snow like you wouldn't believe. I put them through the test, going through snow drifts, up the driveway...even at a snail's pace & couldn't get stuck. The car didn't slide a bit. We had several inches (10"?) on the ground. My car didn't hesitate. It's amazing..this is nice!
