Had these installed on our 2014 VW Passat TDI and got to test them on the highway in a torrential downpour for many miles. VERY impressed. No hydroplaning whatsoever and they felt very surefooted. Was concerned that the tread pattern might be a little noisy in the cabin of the car but not the case at all. At this point, I would buy Michelin Crossclimate 2s again. Will see how they stand up durability wise as the miles/kms increase.

The CrossClimate® 2 tires have completely changed my attitude toward tires being a necessity on a car to being the primary vehicle element! These tires have made me realize that vehicle responsiveness is controlled by the quality of tires! Best tire purchase ever!

I researched and selected these tires for my daughter. She wanted to spend her money wisely. She does a lot of highway driving taking her daughter to basketball games all over Ontario and the neighbouring US states, on highways and back roads and wanted a tire that was safe for all weather situations. The Cross Climate has performed exceptionally well under snowy and rainy conditions. They have stood up well with very little wear showing and provided a comfortable ride with excellent handling. As her father, I am very happy with my suggestion!

Very well, made tire handles good but my only chief complaint that is a dealbreaker for me. Is the tires get really loud after about 20 or 30,000 miles I’m ready to take them off. I’ve got them on a Lexus and it sounds like I’m driving a truck with mud tires and I do keep it aligned in the tires balance.

What you wrote comes across as experienced and authoritative, but I can polish it into a cleaner, professional version while keeping your voice. Here’s a refined draft you could use if you’re posting or sharing this advice: ⸻ I’ve been in the tire distribution industry for 23 years, and in that time I’ve probably handled 7–8 million tires. Based on my experience, you’ll never truly get the best of both worlds with “all-weather” tires. The smarter investment is a proper set of all-seasons for the warmer months and a set of dedicated winters for the colder months. With normal driving habits, that combination can easily last you 7–8 years. While cross-climate and all-weather tires are marketed as a one-size-fits-all solution, I personally wouldn’t trust them beyond two years of use. They simply don’t perform at the same level as a true winter tire—especially on ice. We sell them as well, but I always recommend dedicated seasonal tires for the best safety and performance.

The traction, durability, and performance are on par with any good tire - I typically only purchase Michelin or Bridgestone tires. However, I found them to be very load. I spoke to the owner of a local tire shop, my car was in for an inspection, he confirmed this tire is very popular and that other also had the same issue. Even though I did not need tires, I ordered a new set due to the road noise.

I did not choose these CC2 tires for my new to me 2011 Volvo S60 T6 AWD. I found them noisy on smooth roads. On paved country roads that are not the best of surfaces you can feel and hear most small bumps. They transfer the noise and feel of road irregularities into the Vehicle cabin. We have purchased many sets of Michelins tires throughout my 60 years of driving. I’m 75 now. We buy Volvos and Mercedes and often have 4 to 5 cars licensed and insured ready to go. These CC2 are very new less than 5000km. I might switch them to another of our cars or hope they wear out soon. In the plus side they have good traction when cornering a bit aggressively. I guess I’ll have to wait until it rains to check out their wet characteristics.

I have finally found the perfect tire (cross climate 2). Living in the Martime's (Canada) which has the most changing weather patterns these tires deliver kilometer after kilometer on my Subaru Ascent, from heat and rain just confident in these tires getting me home safe and sound.

Traction improvement 100% over my old no name tires. Winter weather has just started in my area and I'm looking forward to seeing how these tires respond on wet, icy pavement. So far, so good. Got really tired of the slipping and sliding so I flashed out for the good stuff even for my old beater. If you can only afford one improvement - get good tires. I saw reviews saying these tires were noisy. They are not. I can feel them gripping the road and it feels good. They grip so hard sometimes I hear them whine when stopping. Good tires

I put these on my 2017 Murano after hours of research. I couldn't be happier. They're very quiet, smooth ride and handle well. Haven't had them through the winter months but we don't typically get alot of snow. They performed awesome in a torrential rainstorm. 90+ degree temps.
