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.

Especially great in rain!

I hesitated due to the cost, but purchased them for winter use on the store recommendation. They are simply awesome in the rain; turning, stopping... After having them on my last vehicle (MB E500 wagon) , I plan on buying them again for my current car (MB GLK350) as soon as I need tires.

I wanted Michelin Tires !

Well, I JUST filled out the Warranty papers - I bought the tires in September, 2023 & it's now late April, 2024. Being a 74 year old woman, I am NOT wild about the fact that in order to register my Warranty, I had to kneel down in my garage to get the DOT number. Why the heck doesn't their Dealer put that on the Sales Slip ? To me, that's something Micheling should control. Anyway, they're on the back, where I had a puncture of one of my tires. I don't notice much but I DO test them when in rains and I'm in a safe place. I go about 45MPH and slam on the brakes. They perform well. That's what I am most interested in so I'm happy with my tires.

Gas Mileage Suffers

Did not know about the hit my 2021 Camry XLE' gas mileage was about to take when I bought. Buying a hybrid car was an attempt to get great mileage, and now the average is about 3 MPG lower. No other complaints about these tires, but I would not have bought them (Nov 2023) if I had known the mileage would degrade.

Noisiest tires Ever

Bought these tires for 2013 Prius. Get more rain than snow now in the northeast so thought I would give them a try. Worse decision ever. Now I have been buying Michelin tires for a long time, but these are so noisy. I thought I had a muffler problem then realized it was the tires. Sounds like I’m riding in a tank. As far a driving preferred the pilot sport. Would not recommend for a Prius.

The tires have been on the car for 1 year and just had them rotated and they look to be in fantastic shape. Due to our weather differance from one city to the next I feel this is the perfect tire as it works very well in wet rainy conditions as well as snow. So leaving the rain slick roads of Chilliwack heading east over the snow cover highway to Penticton I could not ask for a better tire. Now because I live in the rainy section mostly the stopping power and distance is unreal. Thanks for such a great tire and keep moving forward.

Excellent All-Around Tires. Quiet and Capable

Bought first set for a 2010 Forester. So impressed I bought a second set for the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Great ride, and grip especially on the Grand Cherokee. Replaced OEM tires on the Jeep. These are just so much better. No more loud crashing over potholes and highway cruising is so quiet. Replaced some Kumho's on the Subaru and these are also super quiet. Certainly worth the money. Don't put on cheap tires. You'll regret it like buying cheap shoes.

Shhhhhhhh Quiet

This is the first full set of Michelin tires I have ever bought for any of my automobiles. It is really true that, "you get what you pay for". These tires are so quiet and smooth riding compared to any other brand I have had. Even in the rain you can barely hear these tires compared to other. I am very well pleased with the purchase of these Michelin tires, Great Quality, thank you.

Poor snow handling

Bought a few weeks ago based on recommendations for winter weather handling. Last 4 inch snow, temperatures around 0F where roads tend to not be as slick - sliding on a low speed curve. Kicked sideways by 6-8 inch drifts elsewhere. I’d rate winter traction as poor.
