After seeing the recommendations of many fellow Subaru Outback owners who use the CrossClimate 2 tires, I did my own research and decided to follow their lead. I could not be happier with these tires. After installation in the late autumn, we experienced two major snowfalls that put them to the test. The traction in slippery highway and side street conditions has been reassuring. The car, already good in such weather, is even better with the Michelins. Braking is assured. The ride is comfortable and quiet. It's still early days, but I am confident I made the right decision to buy the CrossClimate 2.

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.

This has been the best (snowiest) winter in years, and I’m so glad that I prepared for it! These tires have met the challenge in every way. Since I frequently have grandkids in my car I needed to make safety my top priority. As a retired UPS driver, I know how important tires are to that goal. These will be my go-to tires for the foreseeable future.

I’ll never buy another type of tire again. Absolutely love these, I just swapped out my old, worn tires for these. When I left the shop, I couldn’t believe driving could feel as good as it does now. The braking feels safer, and I feel like I could drive in 2 feet of snow if I had to. So happy!

These Cross Climates actually gave me a 2mpg increase in city driving with my Altima. Only problem i have with them is the way they pick up gravel. I have a long gravel driveway and tires are constantly full of rocks. Other than that I love them.

Only had them one day and already the steering is smoother and feels like a new car. Never knew tires can make such a difference. Looking forward to 5 more years of great driving! Thanks!

Got them yesterday. Maybe too early to say but they are not very noisy as i had heard. Handles quite well. Have not driven in snow or rain yet but heard lot compliments for them.

These are excellent tires for our 2020 Subaru Outback Touring XT. Comfortable and quiet ride with low noise and good traction. We have not yet had the opportunity to drive in rain or snow yet to judge wet traction, but dry road performance is excellent. We reviewed test results from Consumer Reports and Tire Rack to help selection.

I like my cross climates if I put the suggested air pressure in them at 35 or 36 I think they’re rough riding I have them on my 2024 Honda Ridgeline I put them on the day I bought the truck I run 32 PSI in mine to get the best ride and that sets off my TPI‘s so I just run with a TPI on all the time now which I really dislike
