I used to use Nokian's all weather tires, WRG3's, WRG4's and WRG5's and since I got my first set of Cross Climate 2's I've switched all of my cars to CC2's when tire replacement is needed. They' are comfortable than the Nokian's, a bit better mileage, wet performance is about the same it's ok but in winter conditions it's really a step up from the Nokian's even on my VW Atlas that I put 275/45-20 to replace stock 255/50-20s. Just wish we'd get some of the European tech from the Cross Climate 3's.

First of all, I've owned way more cars than any American should. Like in the upper 80s of personal vehicles in my 30 years of driving. You could say I have a problem. However, I consider it experience. I've driven on pretty much all makes of tire manufacturers across a variety of cars, trucks, SUVs and yep, even mini-vans. I live in southern WI, so we get everything from 110 degree heat to -40 cold including ice, deep snow and sluch, and heavy rains. Long story much shorter, I have yet to find a time in daily driving across highways, city towns, and back roads, where the Michelin CrossClimate 2s have not wildly esceeded my expectations. They take average cars and make them perform the unbelievable. Torrential downpour? Bring an umbrella to get to your car because you don't need help once you get there. 22" of snow? Grab a cup of coffee, because if you want to, you don't need to call into work and stay home. Highway driving and in town driving, experience better stopping, stability, ride quality AND tread life. This tire essentially gives 100% of all season performance, with 95% of a dedicated winter performance tire. There is a reason why I purposefully change to CrossClimate2 tires when I change cars. The only thing I wouldn't use these for is off roading or drifting. They look like they'd have a really loud tire howl but they don't. I've had cars I've put 40,000 miles on that are still over 70% of tread life with these. Stop reading this review and buy them, already! You will not be disappointed, other than wishing you had done it sooner. Not a car person, that's okay. Just a friendly heads up, you'll find yourself telling others who notice them and ask that they should buy them too!

Only had long enough for one tire rotation. Everything has been excellent. Live in the deep south so no snow. They work as advertised. Wear looks good. Nice and quiet still. Paided a good price plus had a rebate. So for for what I paided, for how they are , pleased . 9/10 score. Drive a 2013 Toyota Highlander Limited 2 wheel drive with 250,000.Thanks

Been 25 miles/4 days and tires offer good grip and confidence in corners. They are also quiter and smoother than my old tires. Looking forward to winter to see if they are better than my old all season tires.

Great tires , no issues what's so ever . Considering the cost to change summer to winter / winter back to summer, these represent a great saving. 3 years Roadside Assistance on Top of Great Tires. Michelin - Top Quality World Wide . I don't know why these tires are measured at a rating of 10 rather 11 ?

These tires are our first replacement tires since purchasing our car. We have a Subaru and it is all wheel drive. We selected the Cross climate because it is supposed to be great in all weather conditions. So far, we have noticed how much nicer the car handles. It brakes better. Even the wet tread pattern it leaves on the driveway is nicer.

I've seen and heard a lot of comments about these tires being noisy. I've had a set on my 2013 Dodge Journey SXT (front wheel drive) for 4 years. They were fine at first, no noticeable noise. When I went for my first rotation, the service writer asked how I liked them. I said they were fine and he mentioned that some folks complain of the noise. (side story-they stripped my wheel locks with their impact wrench. Had to go to Dodge dealer, who ended up having to blast them off with a jackhammer!) After all that and the rotation...dang! Noisy!!! Had I not noticed until the guy mentioned it??? I wasn't sure. After a few months of noise, it occurred to me that the ordeal with the wheel locks may have blown my alignment. So I had one done, and like magic, the noise was gone. I've driven out the rest of the tread miles on that set, smooth and quiet. I'm about to go get a new set next weekend. Oh and by the way, they're very impressive in heavy rain. Living in the south, never had a chance to try them on snow. To all the naysayers, I say "make sure your alignment is good before posting negative reviews!"

Just got those tires a week ago from Subaru dealership. I drive a Subaru ascent touring. The positive: quiet ride and good grip. The negative: there is an absolutely annoying vibration that occurs at greater than 72 miles. Took it back to the Subaru dealership for rebalancing ( one week tires) . I was told those tires are expected to do that and this is why they don't have it in stock ( they had to get them them from their regional warehouse). I have at least 3 trips of 2 hours plus a month on the Kansas turnpike (75 mph speed limit) and i am REALLY not looking forward for the next 3 years….

Great tire! Our granddaughter has the vehicle now. But I miss the original Defender. They were a great tire. Although I think the CrossClimate 2 may be a great tire, it simply cannot replace the original defender for longevity. But we loved them and I will soon replace the OEM Pirelli tires on our replacement vehicle with the CC2!

I have been a loyal Michelin customer for forty years and this is the first time I have ever been disappointed. I bought these for my wife's Subaru Crosstrek when the original set needed replacement and I have never heard the end of it. They're okay around town but when you get up to highway speeds you can't hear yourself think. Since Michelins last a long time, I'll probably have to suffer with these for 5-6 years!
