When I bought my SUV, first thing I did is go to my tire shop for Michelin tires. I wanted Defenders which I have and love on my truck, but they didn’t come in my new SUV’s size. As we’re in the Pacific Northwest, the shop suggested the Cross Climate 2. It’s been several years of great driving in rain, snow, on gravel roads, lots of mountain roads (where black ice can be unavoidable), and these tires never give me pause. I just brought my car in for the tires to be rotated at 40K mikes, and the shop said my tires have lots of wear left; plus the wear is nice and even. The only downside is that I’ve lost several mpg in fuel efficiency, but when I’m safely driving 4,000 ft mountain passes in driving rain or snow, that seems like a fair trade off.

Wowzer, in just 3 months, I have 7,000+ miles on my new CrossClimate 2's! They were driven in some heavy rain and they are incredibly sticky, as I experimented with some sharp turns in the rain. They are also so very quiet at all speeds. Plus, they attract a lot of attention when people notice the very unique tread pattern.

After much research, I replaced a set of Yokohama Geolander tires with a set of CrossClimate2 on my wife’s 2015 Lexus NX. WOW, what a difference in ride and road noise. It was like getting a new vehicle. The Yokohama tires were original equipment on our NX, and I always complained about the road noise and harsh ride. I thought it was the car and now I know it was the tires! I’m curious how they will perform this winter on snowy roads on our 2wd SUV. So far, great tires!

Had these installed on a 2015 Civic. They replaced Nokian WR G3s that wore out before 30,000 miles. Had the Cross Climate 2s on until it was time to trade in the car another 30,000 miles later. They still had more than half their tread left. They were also much better in the snow than the Nokians. I actually couldn't wait for snow just because it was so much fun to drive in it. Felt very solid and safe in all weather conditions. This fall I will be replacing the OEM tires with another set of Michelin CC 2s it will be money well spent.

Phenomenal tires. Great traction in the snow. Sure grip. Noticeable change in acceleration. Performance is far improved. Yes, there is a difference in gas mileage. I’m posting a photo of the 12 month gas mileage performance. That being said, the trade off is worth it. Also posting a photo of the tracks in the snow. With the Bridgestones that I had on the car, I accelerated in the snow and slammed on the breaks. The car swerved. Did the same move with the Michelin tires, and a sure grip. See the tracks and you’ll see the sure grip. I’m very pleased with these.

I have used Michelin tires on most vehicles for years. I saw reports on these particular tires, and with the tires on my Chevrolet Equinox nearing the end of their lives, I sought and found a set of these. I have driven on them quite a few times not, including on wet pavement and found their stopping to be excellent and their ride smooth.

I bought these tires a year ago to replace my summer tires. These are the quietest tires I've had on my Volvo XC90 or any vehicle I have owned over the past 50 years. Hydroplaning/aquaplaning is virtually eliminated. Steering, handling and traction are fine and the ride is smooth. I haven't used these tires in snow but they look more than capable. I'm just starting my second season and the tire wear looks minimal.

Love the feel of the ride. Haven’t had them long enough to know how they do in bad weather. I was somewhat hesitant to buy them because the set of Michelins that came on my car only lasted 36,000 miles. These tires have a longer warranty. I don’t know if new cars come with a lower quality tire or not. A friend of mine had to replace his Michelin tires at 39,000 miles. Hoping for the best!

Wasn't sure about the tread design but I listened to the tire dealers advise. He was right, they are quiet, great traction, outstanding warranty and really cool looking. I would buy these tires again and I'm very particular when it comes to my vehicles.

Purchased a set of CrossClimate 2 tires in September of 2022 for my 2012 Volvo XC90 to replace a set of worn Michelin Defenders which were great tires lasting 65,000 miles. My XC90 has 208,000 miles. 1 year and 40,000 miles later, the tires are at 7/32 with even wear. I perform rotations and balancing (if needed) every 5,000 miles. These tires have been AMAZING. They are quiet, provide amazing performance, and are wearing very well. I live in Minnesota and travel to Salt Lake City/Park City frequently. These tires are almost as good in the snow/ice as the Blizzaks I have on my 2017 Volvo XC90 in the cold months. Last winter was brutal, so drove many miles through a lot of snow/ice/slush/rain and had absolutely zero problems. They are PHENOMENAL in snow and rain, and great highway tires. They have tolerated chains in the mountains without any unusual wear. I have not had any decrease in fuel economy. I like them so much, I just replaced the Defenders on my other XC90 with a set of CrossClimate 2 tires. When it’s time, I’ll also put a set on my 2018 Volvo V60. Reading other reviews, I was reluctant to try these, but obviously my experience has been great. Perhaps my priorities are different because of the frequent severe weather I experience, but I love these tires.
