Drove 17,000 miles cross country on these tires. They are good for paved roads, but the moment you hit any sort of gravel drivway, dirt road to campground or sandy path they REALLY suck. My car is not an offroad vehicle but on occasion we would have to take a gravel road or drive to an established campsite on dirt or sand these tires have horrible traction. The whole car shifts side to side when breaking. I have not used these in the snow but I don't plan to as they cannot even handle a little sand in the street.

I got these tires last Dec 2022 for the winter and rain in Olympic Peninsula area… we live in a very steep hill 600ft straight up from the main road, and we had the worst winter in history with some Seattle frozen roads on my work days… it worked perfect! I am glad I never skid or slide on those days. Even had this on a winter storm when we had a family emergency drive to British Columbia and with my dual motor Tesla model 3, we never had a problem. I am glad this was recommended by an agent during my tire rotation in 2021, I looked it up and changed last 2022.

I bought these tires based on reviews, particularly in Consumer Reports. They are everything I have come to expect from Michelin tires! Great handling, quiet, smooth ride. I've driven on Michelin tires for years now and these are the best I've ever had.

Purchased these crossclimate 2's about six months ago. I have driven them in weather from +30 to -35 degrees Celsius. They have great traction in all weather, they have good road manners and they are quite. I will put these on our other vehicle soon.

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.

This is my second set. I first purchased these for my Subaru Outback, the were perfect for both rain and snow, not to mention dry weather conditions. I was so happy with these that when I purchased my 2023 Forester, I replaced the dealer’s tires with a new set of the Crossclimate2, they feel lighter and I will expect to get almost 60K mile on these as well.

My mechanic snickered when I said I wanted this tire. Who's laughing now, San Antonio?!?!??!!!! A full week of winter! Five inches of snow and ice, and I have these on a 2008 Scion xB. Feels great to be able to bring supplies to people stranded with no water, food, first aid supplies, etc. . . My car hasn't skidded or hydroplaned whatsoever. Feels very solidly "on" the road, as tires displace snow and ice. I've never had tires feel this dependable beneath a car!

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.

I bought these in September 2023 and was so excited to get them....heck even michelin makes them out to be the greatest thing since sliced bread but there's no mention of rolling resistance and rightfully so. Dropped my MPG so much that I had to return them and just to think this is the second generation with an improvement in rolling resistance I sure would hate to know what the previous generation was like. Michelin perhaps on the 3rd generation you can greatly lower the rolling resistance and than claim them to be the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I've had these tires for a little over 2 years now only clocked 20k miles on them. They are so loud and the noise comes in to the cabin. I drive a Lexus which is very quiet, but the road noise is getting unbearable for me. As for as performance, I'll give it a solid 5 star because these tires perform well in wet conditions.
