Remarkable performance from an all season tires!

We bought these tires in September for our 2013 Hyundai sonata. I initially settled on this tire cause it was 3PMSF rated. I'm glad I did! These tires have taken us down every dirt trail without a problem. Drove through downpours without even hinting at having a problem and has taken on every inch of Idaho snow like it wasn't there. These tires have performed so well in the snow and the winter weather that I'll gladly buy them again in a heartbeat. Yes, there was about a 1-2 mpg loss but for the safety and comfort this tires gives, I have no issue with that.

Excellent tire

We bought our first set of these approximately 3.5 years ago. We have been thrilled with them. They provide great traction, they are not noisy, and the tread has worn very well. Unfortunately, the tread separated on 3 of the 4 of them recently. They had 33,000 miles on them. The tread was only half worn so we received 50% towards the purchase of another set. Still very pleased with the tires. Hopefully these ones won't separate.

Lower MPG

I was averaging 40 to 41 miles per gallon in my RAV4 hybrid Limited with the OEM tires. I just installed a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. These handle better than the OEM and are more surefooted on mountain roads. I read other CrossClimate2 owners were getting lower mpg so I raised the inflation 4 psi over the recommended pressure to see if that would help. Even with the higher pressure I’m now consistently averaging 34.5 MPG. 15% lower. EV’s and hybrid’s get a triple hit from high rolling resistance tires like the CrossClimate 2. First when running on gas only, Second from faster battery drain while using battery power only and a third from a loss in regeneration to recharge the battery when coasting or braking.

jbassoc, you make some good points, also new tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires.  As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases.  Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve. In addition, there is also the Michelin Promise Plan that offers a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your new set of Michelin tires, just return to the selling retailer to exchange them for a new set of equal or lesser value.

Incredible Tire!

I drive a 2013 Elantra Limited. I uses this car to commute to work 5 days a week. (120 miles round trip) I was buying Michelin Premier A/S. A great all season tire that gave the car a great ride and averaged 60k per set. I wanted a tire that was better in crappy weather and read about the CrossClimate 2's. The Good - WOW, they really are AMAZING in bad weather. Even when going thru large puddles, the Premier's gave me that hydroplaning feeling. The CrossClimate 2's I have full control! The tires are just about 9 months old and already have 20k on them. The Bad - For the first 10k the tires were loud and almost sounded like they were rubbing up against the car especially when cornering. Fuel mileage has suffered, I was averaging 36-38 miles, now 34-35. If you live in an area that gets snow, (bad weather) these are excellent tires, I would highly recommend them. If you live in more a sunshine state, I think your just going to look at that gas economy drop.

CrossClimate 2 - My New Normal Tire

I've had these on my 2014 Avalon Limited for about a year now. I got them after the surprise snowstorm we had because I saw they were fine in the summer, too. These are honestly the best tires I've ever had. I've always wanted a quieter tire, especially on highway sections where they've put down a layer of gravel over tar, making it very noisy to drive on. There's still some noise, of course, but this is the first tire that has ever made a noticeable difference. I've had no issues with how the car handles or anything. I had to dodge a surprise armadillo on the road recently and had to make a pretty aggressive maneuver to steer around him. My back end only lost traction for a fraction of a second and my steering remained solid. I also noticed a big difference in how well these tires cut through those water ruts that are on some highways. There's another instance where I've seen a big difference with these tires. There's far less resistance when you drive along those extended patches of road water. Unfortunately, we didn't get any snow or sleet this past winter, so there's nothing I can say right now about how well they do there. I waited through the whole winter to write this review, but I decided to go ahead and post it without the winter report.

Excellent tires, another Michelin winner

So far I’m very impressed by these tires. They are much quieter than the Firestone FT140s that were on the car from the factory. I’ve been a Michelin man for 50 years. From the early days of the Michelin X and XAS to the LTX2 they’ve been the best you can buy.

Better traction and the same smooth ride!

Have had the CrossClimate2 tires on my Toyota Venza for 6 months now. They have performed very well in dry, wet and hydroplaning conditions. They have also been excellent in both deep snow and heavy slush conditions. I do find that they kick up more road spray and are slightly noisier in the wheel well than my previous Michelins, which indicates to me that they are clearing more water/slush out of their footprint on the road. Fuel efficiency seems to be the same as my previous Michelins.

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.

Smooth Ride, Great Traction

I bought these tires about five months ago. They have great traction in the dry and the wet no testing for snow yet it hasn’t fallen. As expected small size pieces of gravel will get stuck in the grooves between the rows of tread… easy enough to pop out with a small screwdriver. My Toyota Sienna rides smooth with perhaps a little more noise than a regular summer tire… don’t forget, this is basically an all season tire, so you give up a little to get a lot.
