Michelin Has done it again
Long time Michelin Tire Buyer, I've had the AT & Defenders on many model vehicles. Wife has 2016 Toyota Sienna AWD Limited. OEM came with Run flats which were noisy and hard. I changed to Defenders which is a great tire. With 63,000 miles we just installed Cross Cimate 2 size 235-55/18. Michelin knocked it out of the park with these tires. Feels like I'm driving a luxury 80k SUV now. Smooth, Quiet and tons of control. I can not believe how quiet and smooth they ride. We live in Florida but also spend a lot of time in the Mountains of NC. NO snow yet but Ill report once we do. Im pretty confident they will perform. Thank You Michelin.
Thanks for the awesome review, Joe F! We appreciate you!

Bring on the Snow!
I bought 4 CrossClimate2 tires for my 2017 Pacifica. I’m thrilled with how well these tires are handling snow and ice. I have more control of the vehicle and I can negotiate an icy, snow-packed road on an incline with no trouble. The installer mentioned one potential down side - these tires can only be rotated front to back, not all 4 positions. I don’t care a bit- the all weather properties are what I need driving around Northern IL. City streets to rural roads, I’m completely satisfied with the tire performance. Compared to the stock tires that came on my new Pacifica, which had about 50k miles, these tires shine in every category of performance. The tracks from my new tires are also attractive and distinct- it looks like herringbone in the snow and ice.
Thanks for the great feedback, Ali! We appreciate you!

Excellent Tire for all seasons
Bought a set in November 2019 for my 2015 x-trail. Replaced the standard dimensions with 215/60//16XL. Use the vehicle for 90% city and 10% hgwy. Excellent on dry and wet pavement. No Hydroplaning. Handles 10ins of snow in 4-wheel drive. Great on icy road at temps as low as -15C . Very quiet and comfortable tires. Will buy for my Terrain.
Magical in Snow/ice
I live at 5000’ in the northern Sierra Nevada Mountains . My 2018 Subaru Forester limited is very good except OEM tires. Hated switching to studded snow tires , so after much research order a set of CrossClimate tires. They are slightly louder than OEM but much quieter than dedicated studded snow tires. Tires are Magical in snow and ice , so impressed! No more switching to dedicated winter tires. Will sell those . I found my lifetime tires for truly all season and terrain - pavement, dirt/gravel , forest roads , and especially winter snow/ ice.
Thanks for taking the time to submit a review, Cap 53, and thanks for your commitment to Michelin tires!

Very quite, smooth ride!
I researched for a tire that was good for all four seasons and just not an all season radio radial tire but something that performs great in like even deep snow or hot Arizona sons son. I was looking for a tire that had great traction ratings on dry and wet conditions, all season, snow rated and good for the Arizona heat. This tire was really the only one that had all those parameters along with the high mileage, 60k long lasting. I had them installed today and my first impression is OMG! These tires are so quiet, the ride is so smooth, when you go over a manhole cover kind of thing you can’t even feel it, it just feels like you’re right you’re sitting on a cloud and again it is just so freaking quiet. Tomorrow we’re expecting snow and rain in the mountains of Arizona I am eager to try them on the roads for their lack of hydroplaning and their ratings for wet and snow I wanna see how it works on the back roads of a big snowpacked off road and then also driving on the highway puddles for hydroplaning I am hoping my impression and my excitement still holds up. I don’t see any reason why they will not. I strongly recommend these tires especially for SUVs I own a Subaru 2019 Forrester sport
2017 Chevy Volt
Just put a set of 4, 215/50R17/XL 95V, on last week. Driven less then a 100 mile so far. The volt had the OE on for just under 55,000 and one had a slow leak. Got the CrossClimate®2 and right from the parking lot I noticed the the tires gave the car a tighter grip on the road, bumps seamed to be less noticeable. The tires do not roll as well as the OE and a little more tire noise, like a whine. With no engine noise to cover it up, it was expected. The car handles the hills and curves very well. My wife feel more assured that car is not going off the road and will take the curves. Had to add more air and that made the Volt cost better also did not notice any change in the handling.
So glad to hear of your great experience with CrossClimate2 tires, Sapphire the Volt.

very disappointed
I can’t count how many sets of Michelin tire I have purchased. Bought these for a Ford Transit Connect Titanium wagon. Spent numerous hours sound proofing it. Van is light and has basic suspension. Therefore asked for the best tire, irrespective of price, that would provide a smooth and quite ride, while providing good winter traction. The ride in now rough/stiff. Despite all the sound proofing, the road/tire noise is very pronounced, especially though the front struts. There is now a vibration that comes through the steering wheel, particularly at slower speeds, and to add insult to injury, the gas mileage is off a solid 10%. They do provide good winter traction, but so do the Michelin tires I put on my daughters car this summer, without all the downsides.

So darn quiet!
I bought this tire at Tire Kingdom in Jacksonville. I have a 2017 Acura MDX Sports Hybrid All Wheel Drive and it has never been such a pleasure to drive as it is now with these tires! I had no idea a tire could be so quiet! Seriously, so quiet you forget you are actually riding down the road!
Really Great Tires! Best All-Seasons Ever
Have had these tires for over a month now and living in Alaska have really gotten to experience the full range of winter conditions with these tires. I have them mounted on my Model Y performance, overall the traction is excellent in winter conditions on both ice and light to deep snow up to 12", very comparable to a dedicated winter tires that I have used. Wet traction is also excellent, honestly feels like dry conditions while in wet. I was honestly impressed with how quiet these are, and are very noticeably quieter then the stock 21" that come with the car. The only negative that I can say with these are that you can't really feel the corners, if you are sliding and you often won't notice as soon as you would with a traditional all season tire with a different tread pattern. Would recommend to anyone living in a colder climates with snow and not wanting to switch tires. I haven't noticed a huge loss in range with these tires like other people have stated.
Fantastic tire!
I have owned these tires for about a month now. I replaced the tires my vehicle came with because of issues last winter. Originally I was going to buy just a winter tire and switch them out when winter was over. When I first saw these on Costco’s website, I thought they were a dedicated winter tire and also thought they were out of my price range. The next day Costco offered a instant rebate on Michelin tires so I went back and took a second look. What I found out was these are an all season tire design with snow and ice in mind. We finally got our first decent snowfall in Green Bay, WI the other day. I am very impressed with the traction, handling in snow and braking feel on ice with these tires. I have been driving in winter climates for 45+ years now. Michelin, you have hit a home run. These tires are just fantastic. Kudos to the engineering team that designed these tires, you did the company proud.
Thanks for the awesome review, Tundraland. Michelin customers ROCK!
