Best tire ever so far
I bought these a few months ago based on good reviews. I have a 2011 Nissan Murano. Getting old and noisy. Wow these tires made me feel like I was in a much newer car. So quiet ! Even on previously noisy roads. Worth every penny. Hoping I don’t have to put my winters on this year !
Amazing tire!
Sooooo happy I went with this tire! It’s great, looks awesome and is durable!!
RIDGELINE HANDLES AWESOME NOW
BOUGHT THEM 1 WEEK AGO CHANGE THE DYNAMICS OF THE TRUCK IN HANDLING IMMEDIATELY AND NOISE LEVEL
The best tire I have ever owned.
When I initially put this tire on my 2020 RAV4 hybrid, it felt noisy and reduced mpg. But after driving for 1000 miles I noticed road noise has decreased significantly and mpg had improved very much. I checked it with a decibel meter. Also the traction in rain is really good.
Best tires I have ever owned!
I purchased these tires for my 2013 Chevy Volt back in November 2020. My car had about 110,000 miles on it, and this is the 3rd set of tires. I get about 33 miles on pure electric driving, and I was getting about 36 miles on pure electric. I now have about 5,000 miles on these tires, and I am still hoping it goes back to the 36 miles. The tires have excellent traction-on the other sets, the tires would squeal sometimes. With the new tires-I don't get any squealing. The ride is much more comfortable as compared to the Michelin Defender.
Thank you for providing your feedback in regard to 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.

Great Tire
Bought these tires for our Sorento. These tires were so smooth and quiet. First Michelin tires I have purchased and will spend the extra money again. Read several reviews and most said that Michelin is in a league of their own and I have to agree.
Improved handling
I replaced 12k old Yokohama with these and could immediately feel that ride has become little bit noisy and stiff. Steering has become more precise. Have to apply breaks early on dry road. More road imperfections can be felt inside the cabin. Noticed decrease in mpg. Didn’t get a chance to ride on snow or rain. Will update after 10k.
Not Quiet Yet but maybe after break in. Good Otherwise!
Just Purchased from Costco a set of 4 Michelin CrossClimate2s. THE FOUR things I wanted out of a New Set of Tires was REDUCED NOISE+BETTER RIDE+RAIN SABILITY+SNOW TRACTION. So far the first item REDUCED NOISE has FAILED on my new CrossClimate2s. We took a Radio Shack Sound Level Meter 33-2055 and on the way In to Costco's a 30 mile trip to have the new tires mounted. We Tested FOR DB NOISE and Wrote down the different roads of various conditions including gravel and potholes, smooth pavement exc.. Old tires Falken came with our 3 year old used 2017 Rouge SV. 1. RESULTS: FALKEN TIRES SCORED A AVERAGE OF 89 TO 93 DB on all road conditions. CROSSCLIMATE2s SCORED A AVERAGE OF 88 TO 94 DB on all road conditions. Did NOT get my NOISE REDUCTION as EXSPECTED BUT REMENBER THESE ARE NEW TIRES with A LOT of TREAD 10/32". Old FALKEN TIRES ARE WORN DOWN TO 3/32". Will Test again in 1000 Miles. 2. COMFORT BETTER RIDE: PASSED, Did not feel the pot holes or bumps as severe with the CrossClimate2 tires you kind of floated into a pot hole and out much better then the old Falken tires. Remember Rubber is soft on new tires versus 3+ year old tires. Very Pleased with the the BETTER RIDE. 3. RAIN SABILITY NO rain in the southwest yet but we keep hoping. 4. SNOW TRACTION Got to wait for snow this winter will update If I can. OVERALL: CrossClimate2s are very good tires Rated very High, a little Pricey but Eye Catching Tires with 60k Tire longevity. Time Tells All, will try and update from here. That's all Folks!!!
What tire pressure? Uncertain. What to expect...
I reviewed multiple brands, I have always been comfortable with Michelin. Yet, my question to them is, the tire pressure the car manufacturer proposes versus the actual tire pressure that the tires get whilst driving and the feel you get are very different. I would greatly appreciate to get feedback: 2019 Subaru Forester Sport. The tire feels great on wet, no complaints. Feels good on dry, no to little noise. More over, its the psi that worries me.
Subi freak, Thanks for providing a review on the CrossClimate2 tires on your 2019 Subaru Forester. The vehicle manufacturer selects the size and type of tires for their vehicles. They perform the necessary testing to establish the vehicles’ optimized operating tire inflation pressures which can be found on the vehicle placard (located on the inside of the driver's door) and in the vehicle owners’ manual. If the tires on your vehicle are the same size as the original equipment tire, inflate them to the pressures indicated on the placard. Should you have further questions, feel free to contact our Consumer Care Team at (866) 866-6605.

No or tiny mileage issues
I was a bit skeptical due to reviews claiming drastically reduced mpg. I have not found that at all. Seems virtually identical compared to the OEM Cont. Cross Contacts on my '19 Acura MDX. Overall 23-24mpg in Montana. Keep in mind lots of mountains and 75-85 mph. I've had tires on MDX's with slightly better dry performance, but not a deal breaker. The CrossClimate2 seems to be a super 3 peak tire for all seasons.
