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!"

Installed on 2012 flex. Quieter ride than previous Michelin defenders. Only on a short time not sure of durability or performance or durability. Handles well in rain so far.

Nice smooth, quiet ride at speed. A bit of a whine or whistle at slow speeds, like 10 to 20 mph. Just got them this afternoon and only have about 10 miles on them. Will come back for a more thorough review after we have more miles on them.

This is a repeat purchase for me. They are very wonderful looking tires, too. People notice them and compliment how nice they look. (They ask how I like them, too. I LOVE THEM ! ) They wear evenly and I believe they will exceed the 60,0000 mile warranty, again. I especially enjoy how the Michelin Cross Climate 2 grips the road and handles heavy rainfall.

I am happy to say that these tires have been incredible in every way! I used to roll on CT Extreme Contact tires for years and I am now very happy to have switched. The traction is awesome both on road and off road. The performance in the rain has also given me a greater confidence that my SUV won't spin out. I recommend this tire to everyone who enjoys both on road and off road driving.

We've had our tires for about a month and a half now and I've been in some crummy weather, snow on the roads, freezing rain and we have found our tires to do quite well in poor weather and great on dry roads. We hope to get a lot of mileage out of them. It's our first set

I bought the Cross Climate 2's based on The Tire Rack and Subaru Owners Forums opinions. Most owners of The Subaru Outback replaced their OEM tires with The Cross Climate 2's. I am disappointed that Michelin refuses to offer the updated Cross Climate 3's in the US and we are stuck with the "old" design Cross Climate 2's. I have not driven a great deal over the last three months , perhaps a total of one thousand miles. In my mind it is difficult to give a proper evaluation. My expectations of the tire are better long term durability, adhesion, braking, traction and road noise. So far I have not experienced anything to demonstrate the Cross Climate 2 exceeds the performance of The Vredestein Quatrac 5 that were mounted on my car previously. We shall see.

I'll never buy another type of tire again. Absolutely love these, I just swapped out my old, worn tires for these. When I left the shop, I couldn't believe driving could feel as good as it does now. The braking feels safer, and I feel like I could drive in 2 feet of snow if I had to. So happy!

Bought the Cross Climate 2 for my 216 Honda Accord EXL (3.5 6 Cylinder). After having 2 set of Michelin OEM tires, I switch over based on multiple personal recommendations. Having now driven on dry, rainy, and snow-covered roads, I can honestly say that I recommend these tires above all else. I have driven SUVs, Subaru's, and now a sedan. Great tires for all around traction. Little road noise, and great handling.

My wife and I have put three quarters of a million miles on Michelin tires over the last ten years and they have been by far the best when it comes to durability and tread life. We have had sets of Goodyear that don't get half the same miles on them and have had durability and wear issues. I have used the ltx m/s2s and now the defender ltx m/s and my wife is now using the crossclimates. The grip and control on her tires is excellent and my m/s2s got 100k miles on all of them.
