I can stop looking for new tires, finally
I'm the kind of guy who starts shopping for my next tires almost as soon as I put new tires on my car. The tires before these were pzeros and I knew they would NOT be the next tires as soon as I drove away from the tire shop when I got them installed. That was almost 2 years and 50k miles ago. Since they came out, I've been looking at the crossclimate2s and thought the road noise would be bad, because of the tread. I also thought they'd be more suited for driving outside of sunny CA. But when Costco had a $150 off deal on these and after I read some trusted expert reviews saying road noise and dry driving are awesome, it was time to pull the trigger. I'm very happy I didn't go with the Continental's that my tire shop wanted to sell me. The CC2s start, stop, corner and sound better than any tire I've ever had on any car. My favorite part about them, besides the safety and fun? These 40s give me another few centimeters between the road and my rims, and the short aspect ratio was the ONLY thing I hated about my car before these tires. So, not only are these tires great as tires but they protect my rims better than the p0s AND they make me like my car better than even the day I drove it off the lot. My wife doesn't need new tires right now, but I may just go ahead and buy them while Costco still has the deal going.
Good, but loss of fuel efficiency
I bought these tires for my 2013 Camry Hybrid because I was tired of switching tires every season. I have lost about 20% in mpg since putting these on
Hazelchef58, thanks you for providing your feedback about your experience with CrossClimate2 tires. 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.

Very Good When A Lot Of Water Is On The Road.
Very Good When A Lot Of Water Is On The Road. Have yet to test them in snow. These are way better than the original Michelin tires on my 2016 Genesis Sedan. The ride is good. I will rotate them every 3000 miles. I wasn't totally happy because I missed the rebate on the tires by a few days.
Great Gripping Tires
I bought these tires a year ago. So far they've all performed any tires I've ever purchased before. I ran them all four seasons. They've exceeded my expectations. They have amazing grip in the snow and in the rain as well as dry payment.
Great smooth ride with very good steering input.
I just got these tires installed and they don’t ride they glide over thr road with very good steering input and soft smooth ride. They are less noisy than the Michelin defenders I had before. Will know more after a few thousand miles but my initial impression were wow. What a smooth ride. Michelin has consistently made good tires and have never disappointed me or left me stranded.
"Pillow Top" Ride!!
1 month ago, I installed a set of 4 on my 2019 Toyota Highlander. Even just pulling out of the tire lot, I could tell instantly that the ride was incredible. Made a trip from Cincinnati to Myrtle Beach the next day. Highway speeds only reaffirmed that these tires felt like riding on a pillow top mattress! The most comfortable, BEST tires I've ever had, and I've tried ALL high end tires over the years. We did hit the rain storms at highway speeds and these tires did not disappoint! The wet traction was amazing with zero hydroplaning. Of course I drove responsibly in heavy rain but these tires sliced right through heavy highway puddles with ease, with no loss of traction. Vehicle stopping distance has also somehow improved as these tires seem to really stop easier at normal braking. Also at emergency braking... just this week another driver pulled right out in front of me around a curve where I was going about 45mph. I braked hard.. no, I mean hard, like where everything on every seat flies into the floor and your family's faces flash before your eyes. The ABS of course activated, and these tires stopped on a dime! Thank God for Michelin. I've already bought a second set for one of my other vehicles. Thank you Michelin, for making THE best tires I've ever driven on.
BbCincy, thanks for sharing your story. We are so glad you were able to stop the vehicle without incident. Thanks again.

Vibrates at high speed
Just got those tires a week ago from Subaru dealership. I drive a Subaru ascent touring. The positive: quiet ride and good grip. The negative: there is an absolutely annoying vibration that occurs at greater than 72 miles. Took it back to the Subaru dealership for rebalancing ( one week tires) . I was told those tires are expected to do that and this is why they don’t have it in stock ( they had to get them them from their regional warehouse). I have at least 3 trips of 2 hours plus a month on the Kansas turnpike (75 mph speed limit) and i am REALLY not looking forward for the next 3 years….

Great rain tire, no noise
Thought these would have too much road noise. They don't! I like the more aggressive tread than normal all season tires.
Quiet smooth ride
I purchased the tires for traveling frequently to my parents a few hundred miles away. I knew I would soon be traveling in various weather type conditions. They are smooth handling, quite ride and thus far great in the rain... snow to come.
Great tire, sticky, quiet. A+
Bought these for a Civic, they transform driving in the wet. A very grippy tire that shovels away water and grips on frozen roads. My 8 year-old gas Civic gets 39 mpg going 80 with these. Ignore the joker with the neg review driving a Tesla.
