I bought these a year and a half ago. They were purchased prior to winter driving, with the idea of swapping them out for snow tires if needed. They have performed well in winter conditions for the last two years without changing them out. We also have issues with water pooling on the highway. These handle the situation well, without a hint of hydroplaning. They feel more secure than more expensive tires.

I should say up front that I have personally driven well over a half a million miles on multiple sets of Michelin pick-up truck and auto tires over the past thirty years, and have been very impressed with the ride, performance, and durability of every set. Much of those miles were on interstate highways, with lots of surface street travel. So when I bought a set of four Cross Climate II's three months ago I was very interested in the Cross Climate II tread design and a bit excited to see how it would perform. Well lets just say I was not disappointed. The first week was dry highway and surface roads, the tires felt great! as have all my previous sets of Michelin tires have. I did get a chance early on to checkout the side wall stability at high speed when I had to dodge some significant road debris (a semi truck leaf spring) at highway speed (75mph). The Cross Climate II's responded with true stability and easily passed the high speed road debris dodge test with flying colors. On the third week I was able to check them out in a major down pour, I drove into a rain storm doing 75 mph. I initially cut my speed back to 60 mph to get a feel of tires meeting the very wet road surface, and they felt great. So with no traffic around I tilted the wheel back and fourth slightly to feel the tread stability while driving on water, and they felt glued to the road, so I being a bit of risk taker I took the speed back up to 75mph and the performance was the same; excellent! So that brings me to today my first drive of the year through three or four inches of icy wet heavy snow, tracking was very good through lane changing. The Cross Climate II's handled the snow and slush with no problem. The Cross Climate II Michelin tires deserve five stars and two thumbs up in my book! In closing this review I tell a little story about some advise I overheard when I was younger working American. I overheard a older work colleague say there was two purchases where quality was imperative and he would never go cheap on; shoes and mattresses, because if not in one your in the other. So when I started driving and purchasing tires I added tires to his adage, so there are three things where quality was imperative and I would never go cheap on; shoes, mattresses and tires, because if not in / on one your in / on the other.

I purchased these CrossClimate2 tires to replace my beloved Michelin Premier A/S which served me well for many years. Who knew a tread pattern could be this good-looking? Already tried in rain and shine, on rough and slick; love the sure-footed feeling and good stopping I am getting.

Wanted to replace OEM Bridgestone on 2020 Lexus RX350 after the first week but decided to wait 8 months for CrossClimate2 to become available. It was worth the wait, my Lexus now rides like luxury vehicle it is. Ride is much smoother, noticeably quieter and overall more solid feel when making left/right turns. Handles very well and provides confident feeling on very wet roads, hoping for same in the winter. Great tire!

I’ve been a Michelin tire fan, but have buyers remorse on this set. I was pointed to these tires as being excellent, they do great in the rain but otherwise I haven’t felt that they provide superior performance and they must have a great deal of rolling resistance because I’m experiencing a reduction of 3 mpg with my Q5. Very disappointing.

I bought 4 CrossClimate2 tires for my 2017 Pacifica. I’m thrilled with how well these tires are handling snow and ice. I have more control of the vehicle and I can negotiate an icy, snow-packed road on an incline with no trouble. The installer mentioned one potential down side - these tires can only be rotated front to back, not all 4 positions. I don’t care a bit- the all weather properties are what I need driving around Northern IL. City streets to rural roads, I’m completely satisfied with the tire performance. Compared to the stock tires that came on my new Pacifica, which had about 50k miles, these tires shine in every category of performance. The tracks from my new tires are also attractive and distinct- it looks like herringbone in the snow and ice.

I bought these since I was looking for an all season tire with the 3PMSF on it. In my review, this topped the charts on Tire Rack and Consumer Reports, so I bought these, not knowing what to expect. Next thing I knew, my car feels completely different to drive than it did before. It’s more composed, on-center feel is more noticeable and the ride is wicked quiet!

Purchased tires in January 2022- 45,000 kms on them. Traction is good on wet & dry roads. I find them noisy compared to all season tires- my expectations may not be realistic. Mounted on 19" aluminum Honda OEM rims- continually leak air in all seasons- maybe rims are at fault. Nevertheless will swap out to a smaller rim and tire with all season capability

I bought 4 of these tires on April 19, 2023. The road noise from these tires were not the Michelin quality that I have known for 44 years. I went back to the retailer that I bought them from and had 4 Michelin Defenders replace these CrossClimate2 tires. I am very happy with the Defenders.

So far loving these tires. They’re deliver a quiet smooth ride. Living in Maine we can have rough winters. I read that these were great in the snow. I’ll right more after driving in the snow. Until then only 4 stars as I can’t rate the driving in snow yet.
