Great Safety Features!
Michelin Cross Climate2 tires installed on 2017 RAV4 November 2020. RAV4 traded on new Venza Hybrid April 2021 conditional that dealer install Michelin Cross Climate2 tires on 2021 Venza. Great Tires/Quiet Ride/Safe Ride an added value.
IMPROVED RIDE QUALITY - HANDLING - BRAKING and MPG
Another example of Michelin quality... Quiet, smooth... exceptional traction wet or dry. Chews thru the snow. Corrected all the 19" OEM tire issues.
Thanks MR z, for sharing your positive experience with the CrossClimate 2 tires. You are appreciated.

Great tire with poor fuel economy
I bought these last fall to get me through the winter. I drive 90 miles round trip to and from work and you can never be sure what the weather is going to do. As far as winter traction they are amazing. The ride is smooth and quiet. I would highly recommend this tire unless you are looking for good fuel economy. I have lost almost 8 mpg since installing these. The roll resistance must be pretty high to drop my fuel mileage by that much. Very disappointing considering the cost and the fact they are Michelins. But if you want great traction, ride comfort, and a quiet ride, look no further...
Hi DK, thanks for taking the time to submit a review. 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.

Nearly Silent! Good in Snow/Slush.
I bought these from my local Discount Tire and am stunned at how quiet they are compared to my previous BFG KO2 tires! My car is a 2" lifted 2018 RAV4. I know just about any tire would be quieter than the KO2s, but these seem to be nearly silent! This morning, I drove in several inches of slushy snow and they seemed to be at least as good as the KO2s on that surface. Plus, Colorado allows cars without AWD/4WD to use M+S tires in lieu of chains while the chain law is in effect, so that's a bonus for anyone that doesn't have AWD/4WD. Highly recommended! I may update this review when I have a chance to drive in hot and rainy weather.
Blew Me Right Out off the Water!
I bought these since I was looking for an all season tire with the 3PMSF on it. In my review, this topped the charts on Tire Rack and Consumer Reports, so I bought these, not knowing what to expect. Next thing I knew, my car feels completely different to drive than it did before. It’s more composed, on-center feel is more noticeable and the ride is wicked quiet!
Awesome, NissanDude26! Thanks for sharing the love!

Better than expected!
This tire (and its predecessor the +) has gotten rave reviews by Tire Rack, Consumer Reports, and others. When Michelin came out with some new sizes in February 2021 I figured it was time to give them a shot. I had already replaced the tires on my wife's Subaru Forester with CC+ before the CC2 were available. So far, I really like these tires. At 245/55R18, they are 20mm wider than the OEM tires (225/60R18) so they give more grip than either the OEM Yokohamas or the Michelin Premier A/S tires they replaced.
Wasn’t sure what to expect.
Excellent tires. I wants sure what to expect. So far the comfort/quietness of the tires has impressed me. I hope that I get the expected life of the tires.
Best Tires ... Bar None!
I'll be short ... these are the best tires of any brand I've ever had on any vehicle owned. They are very quiet, handle extremely well on dry/wet and icy pavements. Snow in the mountains should not be a problem. Highly recommended.
jam, thanks so much for the awesome review, and thanks for your commitment to Michelin tires!

Great traction in snow, smooth ride on pavement!
I bought these after watching "Engineering Explained" on YouTube. I wanted a high quality snow tire that wouldn't be noisy on the interstate. I drive a 2002 Nissan Sentra SER Spec-v. It's a true manual transmission with no traction control and entirely too much power and only front wheel drive. I do delivery driving and have to often drive offroad and on gravel. They perform excellent on inclines and have amazing grab on gravel roads. I have been in situations where any other time I would have been stuck and these just chew right through the snow and pull. After 10k miles they're showing minimal wear, I'm very happy and impressed!
Thanks for the positive feedback, TRM4Life, and for your commitment to Michelin tires.

Great for Texas Winters!
My mechanic snickered when I said I wanted this tire. Who's laughing now, San Antonio?!?!??!!!! A full week of winter! Five inches of snow and ice, and I have these on a 2008 Scion xB. Feels great to be able to bring supplies to people stranded with no water, food, first aid supplies, etc. . . My car hasn't skidded or hydroplaned whatsoever. Feels very solidly "on" the road, as tires displace snow and ice. I've never had tires feel this dependable beneath a car!
