Great upgrade

These tires are our first replacement tires since purchasing our car. We have a Subaru and it is all wheel drive. We selected the Cross climate because it is supposed to be great in all weather conditions. So far, we have noticed how much nicer the car handles. It brakes better. Even the wet tread pattern it leaves on the driveway is nicer.

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.

Best purchase I've made!

I was in a hit n run accident on April 29, 2026. The other vehicle side swiped mine and I could feel the tires grip the concrete while I took control of my vehicle with oncoming traffic. I know God protected me that day and the Michelin Cross Climate also did what they were supposed on that cold rainy day. Thank You Michelin!!!

Vibrates at high speed

Just got those tires a week ago from Subaru dealership. I drive a Subaru ascent touring. The positive: quiet ride and good grip. The negative: there is an absolutely annoying vibration that occurs at greater than 72 miles. Took it back to the Subaru dealership for rebalancing ( one week tires) . I was told those tires are expected to do that and this is why they don't have it in stock ( they had to get them them from their regional warehouse). I have at least 3 trips of 2 hours plus a month on the Kansas turnpike (75 mph speed limit) and i am REALLY not looking forward for the next 3 years….

Great grip and wet traction.

Had the MXMs one tire got shredded by a pothole and I decided to get whole new set of tires, got the CrossClimate2 and man do these tires perform on hot highway pavement, keeps you firmly planted especially on cornering,excellent handling in the rain also .I live in a 4 seasons climate and looking forward to testing them.out on the snow a little more noisy tham the MXMs but easy tradeoff for the grip and traction they look awesomealso . Great tires !

Hate the noise and vibration of these Crossclimate tires

Just had them installed on BMW X5. Hate them. The normally quiet cabin hums and vibrates because of these new tires. I should have put new versions of the Pirell Scorpions on. Was hoping to take advantage of the added traction in snow, but will replace these tomorrow. It is intolerable!

Poor fuel economy!

I purchased these tires based on all the high ratings they are receiving. The first issue for me was the load rating being 103 vs 99 and higher speed rating really changes how harsh the vehicle rides. The biggest issue was poor fuel mileage! I track my fuel economy and these tires cut it down between 3 to 5 miles per gallon! Driving them at the recommended tire pressure for the vehicle resulted in the poorest fuel mileage. Adjusting tire pressure higher helped fuel economy slightly and resulted in a harsh ride. After 4000 miles I purchased different tires from a competitor. Very dissatisfied!

Briguy, we are sorry to hear that the fuel efficiency did not meet your expectations. When new tires are installed on a vehicle the fuel efficiency will typically experience an initial drop compared with the worn tires that were removed. Over the life of a set of tires fuel savings will normally become evident.

Traction is great on both snowy and icy roads.

After nearly a year of use, I've started to notice that this tire is getting quite loud. In fact, I can feel the vibrations when I'm driving at speeds of 40-90 km/h. On a more positive note, the tire performed exceptionally well during its first winter. The traction was excellent on both snowy and icy roads. I'm curious to see how it will perform in its second winter.

We loved 'em!

Great tire! Our granddaughter has the vehicle now. But I miss the original Defender. They were a great tire. Although I think the CrossClimate 2 may be a great tire, it simply cannot replace the original defender for longevity. But we loved them and I will soon replace the OEM Pirelli tires on our replacement vehicle with the CC2!

Impressive tires

Tires were just mounted on 6/17/26. Somewhat early to talk about wear but I notice a big difference in handling and ride already. Specs are highly rated and Michelin reputation speaks for itself. I have used them on other vehicles in the past all the way back to the mid '70s when radials were just coming into their own.
