Really good traction and quiet on the road

Just completed a 3,500 mile round trip on these tires. Had every type of weather with the exception of snow and they did great. Even when my GPS sent me down a road i had no business being on and had very large amounts of mud. Rain was very heavy the entire trip and never once did they lose traction and breaking was very good on wet roads. I definitely recommend these tires.

Second set

I just put on my second set of Cross Climate2's on my 2016 Outback. Besides the fact the Outback is just the best car for the mountains and snow, adding the Cross Climate's just adds that extra layer of reliability and safety. Traction is amazing in sow and rain! I would recommend these tires to anyone looking for a great all season tire!

Not necessarily noisy!

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!"

Hate the noise and vibration of these Crossclimate tires

Just had them installed on BMW X5. Hate them. The normally quiet cabin hums and vibrates because of these new tires. I should have put new versions of the Pirell Scorpions on. Was hoping to take advantage of the added traction in snow, but will replace these tomorrow. It is intolerable!

Best purchase I've made!

I was in a hit n run accident on April 29, 2026. The other vehicle side swiped mine and I could feel the tires grip the concrete while I took control of my vehicle with oncoming traffic. I know God protected me that day and the Michelin Cross Climate also did what they were supposed on that cold rainy day. Thank You Michelin!!!

Excellent Tires

We needed tires on our Acura RDX and picked The Cross climate 2. After 52k on them they were still barely worn 50 percent. They are incredible in the rain, slushy snow and deep snow. The only thing I can say negative is we got 2mpg with these tires. Our new RDX will get these again when it needs tires. Michelin needs to make this tread pattern for LT applications!

Traction is great on both snowy and icy roads.

After nearly a year of use, I've started to notice that this tire is getting quite loud. In fact, I can feel the vibrations when I'm driving at speeds of 40-90 km/h. On a more positive note, the tire performed exceptionally well during its first winter. The traction was excellent on both snowy and icy roads. I'm curious to see how it will perform in its second winter.

Poor fuel economy!

I purchased these tires based on all the high ratings they are receiving. The first issue for me was the load rating being 103 vs 99 and higher speed rating really changes how harsh the vehicle rides. The biggest issue was poor fuel mileage! I track my fuel economy and these tires cut it down between 3 to 5 miles per gallon! Driving them at the recommended tire pressure for the vehicle resulted in the poorest fuel mileage. Adjusting tire pressure higher helped fuel economy slightly and resulted in a harsh ride. After 4000 miles I purchased different tires from a competitor. Very dissatisfied!

Briguy, we are sorry to hear that the fuel efficiency did not meet your expectations. When new tires are installed on a vehicle the fuel efficiency will typically experience an initial drop compared with the worn tires that were removed. Over the life of a set of tires fuel savings will normally become evident.

Cross Climate2 / Great tire

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 ?

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.
