These tires are amazing, especially in the rain and even big snow. I got them because they were the highest performing tires in category. They are highly rated by every professional tester. They stick like glue in the rain and i have climbed every deep snow covered hill going past plently of cars and even trucks that couldnt make the climb with spinning tires. Buy these tires with confidence and you will be rewarded with amazing performance.

Only about 300 miles so far but very satisfied. I don't understand the noise criticism being good and bad...can't be both but my limited experience is they are not overly noisy. Traction is not criticized by anyone so I'm expecting that to continue this winter in Illinois. So far so good!

The tires have literal decimated the electric range of my Chrysler Pacifica PHEV. I wish that we, in North America, could buy the European Cross Climate 2 tire in the H speed rating. This tire has the best rating for rolling resistance in Europe. Sadly Michelin has decided for us that rolling resistance is not important and that we shouldn't be able to buy those tires here. I doesn't hurt that tire manufacturers are NOT required to divulge rolling resistance performance in the US, as they are in Europe.

Replaced our Rav4's factory tires with a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires and immediately noticed a huge improvement in terms of ride comfort and handling. Winter was already over, so we have yet to see how these CrossClimate 2 tires do on snow and ice, but based on the reviews we read and what we have experienced so far, I say "BRING IT ON!!!"

We've Love The Michelin Cross Climate 2 Tires! The ride, handling, and snow traction are superb. We have them on our RAV4 and Ridgeline vehicles. They are slightly noisy on bare pavement, but with the aggressive tread design and wear, that is to be expected. No more putting on/ removing snow tires/ all season tires. The All Weather Michelin's are a game changer. Thank you for developing such great tires!

Great year-round tire. I live in the mountains of Northern California where we get tons of snow, often deep snow. I sold my winter tires as the CC2's perform well enough on my SQ5 I now don't need the annual change-over. Currently 45,000 miles on them and looking like at least another 15,000 left on them. More than three times what I was getting out of the Sport Pilots that came with the car. No noticeable difference in mpg or road noise. Very happy with these tires and recommend them.

Waiting on Winter. They look good feel good and the promise of mileage to come is appealing. Living in Canada the true test will come with Winter. Previously lived a couple of hours north of Toronto and changed to full winter every year, now in Oakville and banking on CC2s to deliver a solid safe rain, slush and snow performance.

I researched and being a Michelin user already, was pleased to find they are the best in class tires. They are very impressive in snow, handle great on dry, and amazing on wet (I tried hard to make them slide on corners and curves. Not happening! My only slight complaint is that they spin occasionally on take off. I have recommended Cross Climates to everyone who asks about tires, and our vehicles will always have nothing but these amazing tires! Almost three years and no regrets!

I purchased these tires approximately one month ago. Did a some local driving around town and found the handling to be good and the overall comfort and noise level to be acceptable. This past week I did a long distance trip from NY to MI and back that was uneventful with clear driving going, and light snow and rain on the return trip. I would say the tires performed as expected for the entire trip. No surprises, that enabled driver confidence.

I'm using Michelin CrossClimate 2 in size 235/65 R17 on an Audi Q5 quattro (SUV). Overall, the tire performs very well in dry conditions and also handles regular rain without any issues. For everyday driving on wet or dry asphalt, the stability and comfort are good. However, the tire shows serious limitations as soon as there is wet snow or slush on the road, especially around +2°C. Braking performance becomes very weak, and the car tends to slide forward even at low speeds, around 15–30 km/h. In these conditions, the tire simply cannot provide sufficient grip, and stopping distances become dangerously long. Because of this, I was forced to purchase a new set of proper winter tires, as continuing to drive with the CrossClimate 2 in these conditions poses a real risk of an accident and serious danger. A similar issue appears when the road is only slightly damp after light rain during colder autumn/winter days — braking and stopping distances noticeably increase, even when driving slowly. Conclusion: Excellent tire for dry, wet, and mild winter conditions, but not reliable in slush, wet snow, or low temperatures. If you live in an area where wet snow is common, this tire may not be a safe choice during winter.
