They look different but they are pretty quiet and seen to offer good traction. I live in Minnesota and we still get some snow here. A little more money than some other equivalent tires but I am not disappointed I went with these.

After swapping out tire in winter(Michelin X ICE 3), on my last car, a Mazda 3 AWD Turbo, I swapped to using just Cross Climate 2s on my Mazda CX30. No more buying 2 sets of tires. These are awesome dry, wet, or snow.

So far I've been very happy with the Cross-Climate 2. They feel very sure-footed on packed snow and wet roads. I'm comfortable taking a drive on them up to the ski mountain areas.

I purchased CC2's because I needed a snow rated all season tire. I needed a great traction tire that was quiet and handled well in rain and snow. I'm very pleased with my choice

I have been in the snow and ice twice now with these tires on my 2022 Durango R/T and I am seriously impressed. Like being on rails! Very quiet and smooth on dry pavement too!

The tires seem very good. They have good traction and handle well. They are relatively quiet. My only dissappointment is that my gas mileage seems to have dropped about two miles per gallon.

The first year I drove my new used 2020 SUV with original tires, very poor traction. Then I purchased 4 Cross Climate 2 A/W BW. They are well worth it, now I have very good traction in this northwest Ohio weather.

Cars today come with tires way to wide, causing hydroplaning, these tires, with their aggressive tread alleviates this to a great deal. Makes it a whole new, safer, car. Snow performance is excellent, again, making it a whole new car to drive.

I replaced the Bridgestone tires on my Lexus RX-350 with the Michelin Cross Climate 2. I like the Michelin performance and handling, but find they produce more road noise than the Bridgestone. Still, I am happy with my choice.

These tires have great traction on snow and ice. I live in Alaska and these tires are consistent and the breaking is consistent as well. Highly recamend.
