Great tires
Excellent tires great wear and noise is nonexistent, treadware excellent, grip in rain, minimal traction loss in snow or ice.
Not necessarily noisy!
I've seen and heard a lot of comments about these tires being noisy. I've had a set on my 2013 Dodge Journey SXT (front wheel drive) for 4 years. They were fine at first, no noticeable noise. When I went for my first rotation, the service writer asked how I liked them. I said they were fine and he mentioned that some folks complain of the noise. (side story-they stripped my wheel locks with their impact wrench. Had to go to Dodge dealer, who ended up having to blast them off with a jackhammer!) After all that and the rotation...dang! Noisy!!! Had I not noticed until the guy mentioned it??? I wasn't sure. After a few months of noise, it occurred to me that the ordeal with the wheel locks may have blown my alignment. So I had one done, and like magic, the noise was gone. I've driven out the rest of the tread miles on that set, smooth and quiet. I'm about to go get a new set next weekend. Oh and by the way, they're very impressive in heavy rain. Living in the south, never had a chance to try them on snow. To all the naysayers, I say "make sure your alignment is good before posting negative reviews!"
Awesome tires!! The best. Michelin is tht way to go. Great performance. No road noise and better handling. They look great on my car. Superior quality.
I just bought these tires to replace my old tires from 2008 on my Infiniti with 26,300 miles in my car. I spent days shopping for a great tire. Michelin definitely makes the best tires in the world. Been using them for 40 years. These are higher price but well worth it. No road noise at all. Same gas mileage. These are awesome tires. They definitely work very well in all types of weather. I love how they handle and look. They look sporty on my crossover SUV. Most mechanics recommend these if you can afford them. You get what you pay for. Superior quality. Highly recommend.
Don’t Buy These Tires!
Tires are great when they are new, now I have had them for 2 years I will never buy Michelin tires again. Tire were great the first and part of the second year. Now they howl and extremely noisy, worse than aggressive pickup tires. Also I had the tires rotated every 5,000 miles. DO NOT BUY THE CROSSCLIMATE TIRES!

Go for it
Got them yesterday. Maybe too early to say but they are not very noisy as i had heard. Handles quite well. Have not driven in snow or rain yet but heard lot compliments for them.
Traction is great on both snowy and icy roads.
After nearly a year of use, I've started to notice that this tire is getting quite loud. In fact, I can feel the vibrations when I'm driving at speeds of 40-90 km/h. On a more positive note, the tire performed exceptionally well during its first winter. The traction was excellent on both snowy and icy roads. I'm curious to see how it will perform in its second winter.

They work well, excellent grip in the low temperatures that characterise the UK climate, not much snow but many weeks at sub 7C . Wear well, good in the wet.
The tires are very good, value for money. I recommend.
Very well so far especially in the wet
Second set
I just put on my second set of Cross Climate2's on my 2016 Outback. Besides the fact the Outback is just the best car for the mountains and snow, adding the Cross Climate's just adds that extra layer of reliability and safety. Traction is amazing in sow and rain! I would recommend these tires to anyone looking for a great all season tire!
