One of the best tires I've had on multiple vehicles!

An excellent all-season or winter changeup tire for almost any application where rain, ice, and moderate snow are factors (a legitimate 'snowflake', 3PMSF) while maintaining confidence at high speeds, and enhancing certain performance characteristics such as cornering and braking. I just ordered the CrossClimate2 to replace a pair of CrossClimate+ on my [FWD] Mazda, not needing to consider another tire, as I recently chose a set of CrossClimate2 on my [AWD] Lexus IS for the new winter set and I could not be happier with them. You do need to be attentive and work them in properly during the break-in period, as they can be a little loose during that break-in. If you do break them in properly you will have a better chance of being a satisfied Customer, this is true with just about ANY tire. I suspect some of the complaints around these either do not understand that break-in approach and/or received poor advice - or no advice at all, from their Installers. As far as gas mileage and road noise comments go I would disregard those as the performance and safety of these tires far exceed any inconvenience in those areas, I've had dozens of different tires on similar vehicles and these are neither loud nor inefficient gas-wise, long-term. I gained back my MPG and then some with these compared to multiple other brands. My only complaint of sorts would be the tire/tread life, where I have just over 20k on a pair of CrossClimate+ after approximately 2 years. That is very low mileage-wise, however,, they have been great through everything nature has thrown at them and even though they have 3-4/32nd left out of the 9/32nds when new, I'm replacing them early for safety concerns instead of trying to squeeze another season or three out of them, which I probably could, but better safe than sorry. My family drives these cars daily and I'm more comfortable with them having more tread. I am expecting more life out of the CrossClimate2 with 10/32nds new... I will likely post a separate performance-centric review for the CrossClimate2 experience on the Lexus, as I only have a few hundred miles on that vehicle, but so far the results exceed expectations, providing a very stable and consistent ride, better than any of the other tires I've ever had on that Lexus. If anything the tires amplify the driving experience on my vehicles and sometimes that means revealing suspension issues and other inconsistencies in their feedback, the type of precise feedback that less dynamic and responsive tires do not provide. This is another likely limitation of understanding on the part of some CrossClimate Owners.

Excellent upgrade after replacing the tires that came on my Jetta

So I drive for a living as a courier and purchase tires every couple of years. This is my third set of CrossClimate's and the grip and handling is such a huge upgrade from the stock tires that come on the vehicles. It's always a little stark because as tires get to the end of their life, you feel them lose their grip in wet and dry situations, but they roll very easy which leads to the best mileage you'll ever get in a vehicle. When swapping to these you instantly notice the grip on turns, how straight the car stays even when tires slightly spin in the rain, and the significantly shorter stopping distance. I typically drop about 4-5 mph in small sedans upon initial switching, but the safety advantages make driving so much easier on my mind! We've had these on a 2020 Honda Civic Hatchback, a 2015 Toyota Sienna Minivan, and now on my 2023 VW Jetta. The improved performance and safety was felt immediately when switching from all the vehicles previous tires, including another Michelin in the van. So while I wish they rolled a little better for gas mileage, I still have to give them 5 stars for overall performance and safety! *They are also very quiet!

Blew Me Right Out off the Water!

I bought these since I was looking for an all season tire with the 3PMSF on it. In my review, this topped the charts on Tire Rack and Consumer Reports, so I bought these, not knowing what to expect. Next thing I knew, my car feels completely different to drive than it did before. It’s more composed, on-center feel is more noticeable and the ride is wicked quiet!

Loudest Tire Ever

I currently own 5 cars all with Michelin tires and these are by far the loudest tires I've ever had on any of my cars. This is a 2016 VOLVO XC70 the tires have plenty of tread left on then, 7/32 rear, 6/32 front. Have been rotated religiously, front and rear alignment is perfect. The car has been into the Volvo dealer to check for other problems, ie. bad CV joint or wheel bearing. Everything checks out in perfect working order. You can NOT hold a conversation in the car above 60 MPH the towing is so loud. Very disappointed we hoped these tires would be a good replacement for the Hydro Edge we had on previous wagons. My other cars have Pilot A/S 4 and PS4 tires and those are as quiet as a church mouse by comparison.

Great tire in the wet and snow

Bought these in the fall for my 2018 Honda Odyssey. Night and day compared to the original Bridgestones. Excellent manners on the highway in both wet and dry and amazing traction in the snow. These were priced higher than the competition but well worth the money so far especially when you consider the expected treadlife. Great job designing these tires Michelin!

vgreat Tire!

I did research to find the best tire for our RAV4. This tire ticked all the boxes starting with wet braking and hydroplaning. Good noise level, comfort and bonus the are snowflake All Season rated if we happen to get caught off guard before we have our snow tires on. Very happy.

NOT GOOD IN THE SNOW!

Bought these as an alternative to snow tires since the reviews said they were good in the snow. They are absolute garbage in the snow. I would say the same as an all season and now I need to go buy snows as I don’t feel safe driving in the snow with them. Otherwise happy in other conditions but being in Canada, I really wanted them to be snow worthy.

Worth the money?

I bought these tires in September, 2020. The tread pattern had me intrigued but unsure. Winter control conventionally comes from a deep tread, soft rubber compound, and lots of sipes. The croosclimate2 does not look like that but it has proven itself so far. The tire resisted hydroplaning during the fall rains and does not show the usual resistance when going through puddles at highway speeds. So far, December, we have had very little snow, 3", but it handled it very well. The freezing rain and ice have been an issue this year and these tires have out-performed my Michelin defenders. I realize that the two are not in the same performance class but I have always had great service from the Defenders, T&H. Crossclimates are an excellent option if you are not going to purchase a dedicated winter tire. We sould be seeing -25°C at Christmas. I don't believe I will be disappointed. ☆ It should also be mentioned that the mountain snowflake symbol, according to my research, signifies a minimum improvement in traction of 10% over all-season tires. This may not sound like alot but it is a minimum of 10%, and the Crossclimate2 are noticeably better than all-seasons. Stay safe.

North Dakota winter

I got these tires in spring of 2021. I commute and put 25,000 miles on a year. Great ride, low noise on highway. First snow was yesterday so got to see how they do. Very good! They are on a 2017 fusion front wheel drive. If they pass North Dakota weather, they’re good for any one reading this. I didn’t see a drop in mileage like so note. And commuting that matters to me.buy them!
