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.

We love our new Michelin cross climate 2 tires. We have had these almost 4 months now and have been through many weather tests. Great grip on wet roads and excellent grip in the snow. Braking is very good on both. They run quieter and absorb road abnormalities around the city and on the highway better than the Pirelli tires we had before these. Very smooth. Well worth the slightly higher price than other premium tires in our opinion. Very happy with our purchase.

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 is the second set of crossclimates I have had on two different vehicles. The first was a Hyundai Santa Fe and more recently a Honda Ridgeline. The improvement in the overall vehicle handling was remarkable in both cases coming from the the standard tires fitted by the manufacturers. The quietest tire I've driven on in many years. The wind around the doors which I couldn't hear before now annoys me on the Ridgeline. Its the middle of winter here in Michigan, these things are as good as snow tires, but last 5 time longer.

This tire has exceeded my expectations. I've only purchased Michelin tires (except once) for my vehicles. As recently as a month before I bought these actually. I wish I would have decided on these for my other purchase. They are good but nothing like these. If you are looking for a true multi weather (not season) tire the CrossClimate2 is truly amazing. This winter was a great test bed for this review. We've had 8+ in snow falls, sleet, ice, rain, and nice weather so far and I can't say enough about how well this tire handles the elements. Really amazing in rain. I don't want to say that I speed but I will say that I'm not sure at what speed you could get these tires to hydroplane. I couldn't get them to. I don't hear any road noise at high speed and was impressed with the snow and ice capabilities too. These are great if you live in an area where you truly have all types of weather each year. When it's time to replace the factory Michelin's on my wife's car, this will be my choice. No more research needed. The price tag is well worth it. When you cost justify what you feel is expensive you have to keep in mind that you will rely on your tires for years. You should always want a high quality tire under you.

This is my SECOND set of CrossClimate2 tires. 🎉 Excellent features and road handling/traction. Very low road noise for an all-weather tire. Handles very smoothly on the highway. Excellent traction in rain and snow. 60,000 mile warranty. There was still quite a bit of tread remaining on my first set of CrossClimate2 tires once I reached 60K miles. So, quality & durability are superior! The CrossClimate2 will definitively be my THIRD set when the time arises. 🥳

This is my third set of CrossClimate2 tires, so actions speak louder than words. I have had excellent service in every area from them. They are not listed as EV ready, but I have found tha there is very little cost in range and much improved handling in my Tesla Model 3. Admittedly they are slightly noisier than the OEM tires, but the car is itself so quiet that it is not noticeable. Improved traction, performance and comfort more than make up for any slight increase in road noise. They will also be my next set of tires, unless something wonderfuilly better comes along by that time. And that will be undoubtedly many miles in the future.

These are the third set of tires we have purchased now for three different vehicles. Our ambient temperatures range from -45F to 95F and road conditions from near perfect to dense water, freezing rain and compacted snow and ice. These tires out perform any other brands and models we have tried over 50 years of driving as well as commercial driving.

Half-life update (30,000 miles). After a fresh rotation and balance, the tires feel new. The 5300lb Lexus handles great with even wear on all four. I recommend these tires to all who would listen. The confidence in bad weather is worth the price. The tires were purchased 12/19/22.

The Michelin Cross Climate 2 are the best tires I've ever purchased! I got over 85,000 miles from my first set of tires and I just bought another set. I love these tires! They are quiet, provide a comfortable ride, they perform excellently, and have been great is various weather patterns, snow, sleet, rain or shine. Thank you!
