I purchased these tires in October. I live in Colorado and have an AWD SUV and we have had a snow start to the year. I cannot believe how great they are on snowpacked roads. They have been fantastic and worth every penny. Even general snow/rain mixes or flash flooding, these tires give me an extreme amount of confidence and safety to navigate the streets.

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 really dislike these tires. After putting about 2000 miles on them, I've lost about 10% fuel economy (from MXM4). They also transmit a noticeable vibration through the steering wheel, most prevalent on smooth pavement. Finally, I don't feel confident in their lateral grip when pushed a little. The only positive I can come up with is I am surprised at the low noise level considering the lousy road feel. Hopefully they'll redeem themselves in snowy conditions. I definitely would have gone with the MXM4 again (4 stars, winter grip a little wanting) but they were not available when I needed tires (nor are they available now to take advantage of the satisfaction guarantee).

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!).

I bought these two months ago and have a couple thousand miles on them. They are far superior to the OEM Pirellis as you don't feel every bump in the road and are much quieter. In addition, the traction has been excellent on wet and dry pavement. Initially, I looked at these, and another brand, and the retailer told me to get these "hands down." He was 100% correct.

I hesitated due to the cost, but purchased them for winter use on the store recommendation. They are simply awesome in the rain; turning, stopping... After having them on my last vehicle (MB E500 wagon) , I plan on buying them again for my current car (MB GLK350) as soon as I need tires.

We purchased these tires for our Acura MDX while on a trip in Colorado. While they look nice with that tread, they are so loud driving that it would seem we were in an off-road truck with those big truck tires. We have had them for a bit, but we felt the need to say something. I wouldn't recommend these tires at all.

I was really intrigued by the tread pattern, and at first thought that they could be a bit noisy. My mechanic said I would be surprised at how quite they are. I was replacing 4-year-old Michelins that I loved. And to my surprise these tires are almost silent compared to my previous ones! Well done, and the tire pattern has folks asking me about them frequently.

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.

Great tire, I bought the original Cross Climates, tires for my Honda CR V 215/70/16 got a nail in my sidewall will need a new tire guess want the Cross Climate 2 is not made in the size tire I have, now I am screwed, I want a tire that has the #MPSF ratting which not other Michelin tire has other then there snow tire which I am not going to put on a car with 3 other type of tires. Michelin you have let me down
