Excellent on wet roads, roads with de-icer applied and snowy roads.

I had these tired installed on a 3000 lbs curb weight wagon/hatchback, about 6 months ago and have been very impressed. Typically with funny wheel drive, starting on a hill on wet pavement involves lots of patience to get going without sitting there spinning the tires. That is greatly reduced with these tires! They are just as impressive in the snow. I drove up a steep street, without being able to get much momentum due to pedestrians sledding in the street, with about 6 inches of snow that was semi-compact having been driven on by a 4 or 5 vehicles. There was some wheelspin, but I was controlling it and didn't lose momentum. The only con is a little hit to fuel economy, which isn't as bad after they break in. They are also great on roads that have that slick liquid de-icer applied, and have not hydroplaned once, in northwest washington state.

All four sidewalls split

All four tires had sidewall separation prior to reaching 60,000 miles. They were only two and a half years old. I had at least another years worth of tread left. The traction they offered was great, I never got stuck in the snow after getting these tires. Originally these tires were so good, I recommended them to family and friends. Four of them bought the tires. I am no longer recommending these tires. I received zero support from michelin, I was told it is probably ozone damage....2 1/2 year old tire.

The best tires we have ever had

This was the first time we replaced the tires since we bought the vehicle. In the past, the car drove well enough, but with these new Michelin Crossclimate2s the car feels like it is floating down the freeway. It is just so smooth! Plus these tires grip the road really well whether the asphalt is dry or wet. We also get loads of compliments on how nice these tires look! (No one has ever complimented our tires before!) We are truly delighted with these phenomenal tires. They are the best we have ever had.

Great tires!

It took 1000 for these tires to wear in but now they are awesome, much better than the Michelin Defenders they replaced. These give a comfortable ride and extreme performance on wet roads. I can't wait until I get to drive on snow this winter. I highly recommend these tires.

Great traction.

Phenomenal tires. Great traction in the snow. Sure grip. Noticeable change in acceleration. Performance is far improved. Yes, there is a difference in gas mileage. I'm posting a photo of the 12 month gas mileage performance. That being said, the trade off is worth it. Also posting a photo of the tracks in the snow. With the Bridgestones that I had on the car, I accelerated in the snow and slammed on the breaks. The car swerved. Did the same move with the Michelin tires, and a sure grip. See the tracks and you'll see the sure grip. I'm very pleased with these.

Better than expected!

This tire (and its predecessor the +) has gotten rave reviews by Tire Rack, Consumer Reports, and others. When Michelin came out with some new sizes in February 2021 I figured it was time to give them a shot. I had already replaced the tires on my wife's Subaru Forester with CC+ before the CC2 were available. So far, I really like these tires. At 245/55R18, they are 20mm wider than the OEM tires (225/60R18) so they give more grip than either the OEM Yokohamas or the Michelin Premier A/S tires they replaced.

Great tire in snow!

Bought these tire about 4 months ago. Yesterday, I traveled to Mankato, MN and encountered a spring snow storm with fairly heavy snow fall. We saw 10 cars in the ditch! In one case, we were directly behind a sedan that spun out in a curve ahead of us. We were the same speed as that car and did not feel any loss of traction! Our speed was approximately 45. I did take my foot off the gas as we watched him slide sideways, coming to a stop in a driveway. At no time did I feel any twitchy or loss of adhesion to the road surface! I highly recommend these tires in snow country! These tires are slightly rougher riding and noisier than my previous all season tires but do not change my rating at all, these tires may save your life!

Great tires, no worries, but no snow yet

I put these on a Subaru Forester in anticipation of winter snows and mountain driving. Replaced Vrdestein that had excellent traction but poor tread life. Compare to those, the Crossclimates roll smoother, are far quieter, and if it matters, are better looking. They handle road bumps well and felt very stable in heavy rain. No snow yet so I can't say if they live up to their reputation for great snow traction.

Smooth ride -- esxcellent stopping on wet pavement

I have used Michelin tires on most vehicles for years. I saw reports on these particular tires, and with the tires on my Chevrolet Equinox nearing the end of their lives, I sought and found a set of these. I have driven on them quite a few times not, including on wet pavement and found their stopping to be excellent and their ride smooth.

Safe, quiet,reliable, excellent handling and stopping

These tires continue exceed my expectations at 10k on my 2018 Lexus RX 350. They are the best ever in heavy rain for steering control. Have not tried them in snow. I had a flat on the rear and had no indicators till a passing motorist motioned me over. The tire tread design might be an acquired taste for some,but are worth the extra cost for the quiet ride ,safety and dependibility. I'll put them on my wife's Avalon.
