Very good thus far. Always preferred straight-grooved tires due to past experience with cupping and excessive noise on V shaped thread patterns. Only thing audible is a very gentle hum at very slow speeds. Most people will never notice and it is only perceptible because electric car. Really outstanding wet and wet snow traction.

Michelin CrossClimate2 Tire Review After more than a month and approximately 1000 miles of driving, I’m sharing my experience with the Michelin CrossClimate2 tires. ADVANTAGES: - Versatile Performance: The Michelin CrossClimate tires have exceptional traction, especially in wet weather and heavy water on the road, it is crucial for those of us living in Florida - Long Tread Life: Michelin claims a long tread life for these tires - 60K Miles Warranty: While I hope I won’t need it, having a 60,000-mile warranty provides peace of mind - Quiet Operation: Contrary to some reviews, I found these tires to be quiet during my drives. - Distinctive Design: The unique design sets them apart from many other tires. DISADVANTAGES: - Increased Fuel Consumption: Immediately after installation, I noticed a substantial increase in gas consumption—up to 20% compared to my previous OEM tires. After approximately 1000 miles, this improved to 10-15%. However, it’s still a significant impact! Given the already high cost of these tires, it’s important to take into account the additional expense resulting from increased fuel consumption. SUMMARY: The performance of the Michelin CrossClimate tires is very good, prioritizing safety and hopefully longevity, as claimed by Michelin. However, for my next tire purchase, I’ll be seeking similar performance without the negative impact on gas consumption.

I replaced my Michelin Primacys to give these a try. I live in upstate New York where we get harsh winters. So far I am satisfied, I feel more confident on the road, however a little more road noise and slight steering wheel feel which is expected with such an aggressive thread. I believe these tires are second to none when it comes to an all season tire with the snow factor included.

I drove all last winter on eastern Ontario roads and Quebec roads they perform as per Michelins specifications Comfortable secure and safe all year round I felt no difference in rain, snow , and in summer heat As with all Michelin tires they are not so forgiving on slushy roads but then again what tire is All round a thumbs up

i like these tires, bought 4 yrs ago for my honda ridgeline. now at 60,00km and they are done. i would say ok in the snow but not great on ice. i mostly drive around toronto, am a conservative driver and very conscientious about service, they were rotated regularly as per warranty although i didn't fill out the forms, i don't see how they get to 100,000km ...

I'm in love with these new tires. I put them my wife's Cadillac XT5 to replace her original tires. I never liked driving her car because it always swayed in turns and curves on the highway. It would feel like the car would just give way and have to be jerked back. Apparently the side walls were very flimsy and would give way under pressure. The new tires do not suffer from this action. I now enjoy driving her car and the ride is very smooth and feels secure.

I live in Wisconsin and got tired of switching to winter tires In file and back in spring. I was looking for a tire that could be run year round, but had good performance on snow. The CrossClimate II definitely has been the answer. It delivers excellent performance on all road conditions, including ice and snow. Excellent traction and stopping performance on bad winter roads. I would highly recommend it!

These Tires are being pushed as Wonderful, and were hyped by the Dealer, and were in Short Supply. Got a set, had them Mounted. Car previously had Michelin Premier LTXs, and had about 75,000km on them, and were down to 4.5/16 in, and Winter was upon us. The Old Tires, while they would spin when in 2wd, did surprisingly well in awd. In fact, I didn't notice any difference between them and the CC2s in AWD, 2WD was better with the CC2s. What I didn't like was that the Fuel Economy went in the Toilet. The Old Tires were giving me, on average 9.6liters/100km, the CC2s average at best 11.8liters/100km, that is about a 20% less fuel Economy. In city driving, that number shoots up to 14liters/100km. After 6 months of these Gas Guzzlers, and a Nail in the Sidewall, I am replacing them with Michelin Defender2s

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.

It took 1000 for these tires to wear in but now they are awesome, much better than the Michelin Defenders they replaced. These give a comfortable ride and extreme performance on wet roads. I can't wait until I get to drive on snow this winter. I highly recommend these tires.
