It's relatively quiet, smooth on dry pavement, safe on wet roads, and good in wintry roads that are plowed. So-so on ice, as it slides in the direction of the crown of the road when coming to a stop on an icy intersection, but getting moving again, no issues. But... deep wet snow, it's too easy to break traction, since the long tread blocks, while it's good for grip when it's not snowing, makes it difficult for it to cut through the denser wet snow. Yes, my car was initially on Eco drive mode, but then had to switch to a off-road mode to get going again.

These are terrific tires, let me tell you. Dry, wet, snow - conquers them all. I used to have Toyo Celsius All-Weather and the Cross Climate 2 was my 2nd set. If I am just comparing the two, it's not even in the same league. My experience with the Toyo tires was terrible in wet conditions. It just felt so unsafe to drive the car; in fact I rear-ended another car just because it had such bad grip in wet condition. That experience made me reluctant to get another All Weather. Since I had a good experience with Michelin in the past and know they are one of the top brands, I decided to go for it one more time. And I can tell you, the grip in all conditions have been great so far, way way way better than the Toyo. It may seem unfair to compare from my old car, a front wheel drive sedan (Toyo) to new car, AWD SUV (Michelin), but the braking says it all. No matter what car you drive, the braking is the same - or in fact worse for AWDs since they are heavier. With the Michelin on, I have no fear of driving even in wet conditions, and in fact even feel confident. The one minor downside is tires are slightly noisier than the stock for me. But performance justifies this minor issue. In all, these are the "almost-perfect" set of tires for practical use.

I JUST EXCHANGED MY DEFENDER 2 TIRES AFTER 5 WEEKS FOR CROSSCLIMATE 2 TIRES BECAUSE THE DEFENDER 2 TIRES WERE TOO LIGHT FOR MY 2005 LINCOLN TOWN CAR AND WERE TRANSMITTING ROAD VIBRATIONS THROUGH MY STEERING WHEEL. THE CROSSCLIMATE 2 TIRES ARE HEAVIER AND PROVIDE A LIKE FACTORY-NEW, VERY SMOOTH RIDE!

I purchased four Cross climate 2 tires 5 months ago. (I have driven on all major brands of tires during my sixty-one years of driving) The Michelin Cross Climate 2 are by far and away the best tire as far as handling, wear, - and for me- snow traction,

I have had these Cross Climate 2 tires since March now. I LOVE THESE TIRES!!! I usually write reviews, but these tires deserve one! I have now had experience in multiple seasons driving on them and I am extremely impressed! We have our first snow here in southern Oregon, only 2-3", and I do not feet the need to rush to get my snow tires put on (I will do that soon because we'll get more snow) but these tires are safe and comfortable for now to allow me time to schedule the swap. They grip, track and perform like no other tires on any other car I have owned in my 34yrs of driving! I am now loyal to these CC-2 tires! Even my

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’m on my second set of the Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires on my 2016 Ford edge. Living in Maine, these are by far the absolute best tires I’ve had on my vehicle in over 40 years. Unbelievable traction on snow and ice, rain, and water on the roadway. The ride is quiet and highly responsive. I recommend these to anyone.

Purchased these to replace P7 Cinturato all seasons. Wet and dry traction are great. Low noise. Firm / responsive feel. Made in USA for my size. (215/60/16). The given warranty along with the 3PMSF winter rating is what sold me on these tires. Price seems reasonable given the warranty and excellent reviews.

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.

I bought a set of these tires for my Subaru Outback 3 months ago. I've driven just over 8500km on them so far, just had them measured at the garage the other day, no wear so far on the front, and the rear are only down 1/32". I hear the wet tire ruts before I feel them, these tires push the water away so well. They are very quiet and smooth driving in dry and wet conditions too!! I'm definitely sold on these and will be getting them again when I need a new set.
