Wet weather perfomance has greatly improved
Great ride, very quiet, lowers mileage
My 2017 Lexus LS 460 came with Michelin MXV4 Energy tires. I really like their quiet, smooth ride but at 30,000 miles they were in need of replacement at least according to the State of Colorado where I drive some of the year. I prefer Michelin tires as I have always had good luck with them. After reading a bunch of reviews I decided on the Cross Climate 2 even though I live most of the year in Las Vegas where snow obviously is not an issue. I bought the tires at Costco who was having a sale and was immediately impressed by how quiet these tires ride. They are virtually noiseless on the highway and ride beautifully over bumps, cracks in the pavement etc. I would give these tires a 5 star rating if it were not for the fact that my mileage has dropped a good 10-15% since I bought these tires. I've also noticed these tend to mark my concrete driveway while the MXV4 did not When I bought mine I also bought a set of the same CrossClimate 2 tires for my wife's Lexus ES 350 which had come from Lexus with Bridgestone Turanza EL 400 tires. Again those were fine but didn't last like I expect the CrossClimate 2 to last. The tires perform on my wife's car identically to how they perform on mine. The ride is smooth and silent. However she is seeing the same 10-15% drop in mileage as I have and the tire track marks on her side of the driveway. Absent these flaws I would rate these tires a solid 5.
Mauij7, thanks so much for providing feedback on your experience with the Cross Climate2 tires. We appreciate it. We understand your concern regarding fuel efficiency. 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.

Tyres are excellent. We had Pirelli all year round tyres and they were noisy and wore out after 5k.
Better grip on road.not had snow yet but rain and ice.
Performing brilliant
Not quite as inspiring as Michelin's previous incarnation. I wonder if winter pressures should be used +.3 bar rather than summer pressures but manufacturer won't clarify.
Performing ok. Yet to experience snowy conditions.
Exceptionally well in all weathers. In snow and ice they are fantastic
Great so far
Seem to be fine. Took them to snowy roads once and they didn't slide. Quieter than the previous run-flat tires that came with the car.
Love the tires on my 2020 Honda Pilot
Excellent grip (accelerating and braking) and ride in all conditions. First road trip MN->SD this past summer was a pleasure on both dry and wet roads. Recently had a 20” snowfall this winter and again was very pleased with all aspects of the tires.
