We have a New Pathfinder and New Qx60. We put the cross climates on the qx60 and the defender on the Pathfinder. We put them on them one day apart so both tires are New. The ride comfort and mpg with the defender is much better. The cross climate is much harder noiser and eats fuel. Unless you are I'm major snow alot the defender is a better every day tire. The cross climate is mire of a sport tire with great winter performance. We are going to switch them out for the defender this week.

I purchased 4 Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires in December of 2020, and have driven over 9,000 miles on the tires in various weather and on various highway conditions. After doing a lot of online research, I decided to purchase the Michelin tires. I have purchased four sets of Michelin tires in the past for other cars which I have owned. The CrossClimate 2 were the most expensive tires out of the tires I researched but I still purchased the Michelin’s due to my past experience with the Michelin tires. I have not been disappointed with my purchase and the performance and handling of the CrossClimate 2 tires. I live in western Pennsylvania and the winter we had last year was very snowy. At times, I was driving in 6 inches of unplowed roads and had no problems. I really like the handling and feel on wet roads and how the tires channel water out on water covered roads. The ride is smooth and quiet with minimal road noise from the highway surface. After about a year of driving on the CrossClimate 2 tires, these tires have shown only slight wear. Overall, the Cross Climate 2 tires have lived up to my expectations for a premium crossover/SUV touring all season tire and worth the extra money I paid compared to the other touring all season tires.

Third car I have switched to CC2s instead of having 2 sets of tires for each car. Although arguably not as good as dedicated snow tires in deep snow, these tires have superior wet/slush traction. Resist hydroplaning better than any tire I've used in 35+ years of driving. If the snow is "too deep" for these, maybe you should have stayed home. Super quiet, smooth, and fuel mileage is on par with "2 season" tires. Better fuel mileage than dedicated snows. Only down side is they tend to pick up/hold a lot of stones in the tread. You'll want some stone protection on any exposed metal body parts directly behind the wheels.

TWO THUMBS WAY UP!!! The Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires have exceeded my high expectations! The most notable, unexpected feature is a much smoother, controlled driving experience on my 2020 Acura MDX/AWD. I’m really impressed and pleased with my purchase. On a side note, the tire’s really do enhance the look of the car (WOW!).

Vehicle - 2022 Lexus RX 350L. I replaced the Bridgestone ecopia OEM tires at 35k miles due to wear (they are 55k tires) with Michelin Crossclimate 2 tires after considerable research. I have had Michelin tires on a number of vehicles over the years, and apart from a set of Primacy tires, I have always been pleased. While the Crossclimate 2 tires had great traction, especially when wet, there were two serious problems with them. Immediately noticeable was that they did not track well, and needed constant correction on the highway, and it almost seemed that the power steering was increased. But the major problem was with gas mileage. Probably a 15-20% drop in mileage which meant range dropping from about 440 to 385 per tank-full I’m changing to another brand this week. Disappointing after doing what I thought was some extensive research. Reading other reviews and postings on forums, this seems to be a common problem.

Wow what a difference ! I own a Cadillac 2014 CTS 3.6l and have just had these tyres fitted. Having previously had the Michelin Sport tires fitted which I was very pleased with and completed over 30000 miles without losing any air or issues. These new Crossclimate 2 tyres are rated at 2X the mileage of my previous tyres and I was expecting a firmer ride. Much to my surprise these tyres ride beautifully with a softer ride and good handling.These tyres have great Michelin support and despite their price I do believe these are good value.

I bought this tire because I did no want to keep switching to snow tires.This past winter, I found them to be just as good as regular snow tires. I do have an AWD vehicle so that helps as well. On wet roads, I found them to be better than the previous all season tires I had.

I bought these tires Mar 30 2021 .My first set of directional tires and not impressed.I immediately noticed a vibration.Decided to give them a week ,since there were new.They rebalanced and drove them another week before going back to bell tire. These tires on average 3- 5oz of weights which is a lot. The longest measurement of weight was 5 inches.So this is my 3 rd trip back and this time they a ( road force test) ,something I haven't heard of.This machine manipulates the sidewall of the tire, then rebalance.They end up with about the same amount of weights.So I leave and they did this procedure one more . Was told they are, whats considered acceptable limits with minimum vibration.So they are ok for now, I quess. My old worn out pilots were nice to the end .At the first rebalance they told me its probably my rims are bent. They had gotton the tires all mixed up and tried to put the tires on the wrong side of car.I had marked the arrows with white paint so this wouldn't happen.Have to rethink staying with Michelin next time.

I purchased the tires Nov 2023. They handle excellent in snow and heavy rain with no hydroplaning. The only negative I have is they are noisy on the road especially on the rural roads where I live. But overall they handle every type of climate and would definitely purchase them again in the future.

After a lot of research and talking to a lot of different sales people at tire shops about what tire to buy I decided to go with this tire. I live in Ohio and work about 50 miles away from home. These went on an AWD Honda CR-V and have performed wonderfully. My fuel economy improved from the low quality tires that were on it when I got it, rain traction is marginally better, the ride quality and noise level are the best I've ever had and snow traction over the past Ohio winter was outstanding. Under a level 3 when I am required to get to work I had no issues confidentially and safely getting to and from work. Great fuel economy, even being a brand new tire. Couldn't of picked a better tire, and will definitely be buying another set!
