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!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the increased noise you’ve experienced over time. Tire noise is often associated with irregular tread wear. This type of wear may be influenced by factors such as rotation intervals, vehicle condition, wheel alignment or tire and wheel balance. We recommend visiting an authorized tire dealer so the tires and vehicle can be properly inspected and give us a call with the results. Our number is 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

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.

Michelin CrossClimate2 is an all-season tire, dedicated to drivers who are looking for safety in all weathers, all year round. It offers safety and mobility on dry, wet and snow, from the first to the last mile. The Michelin CrossClimate tire range is winter certified (3 Peaks Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) marking).
Michelin CrossClimate2 tire is the leader for snow braking and traction (1)(4) and leader in wet and snow performance at the legal wear limit. (1)(4) Michelin CrossClimate2 tire has the 3PMSF marking. It is suitable for all weather conditions, all year round, including if you drive in occasional winter conditions. But if you drive often on snow covered and icy roads at winter temperatures, Michelin winter tires could be a solution to consider.

The Michelin CrossClimate3 tire launched in Europe in July 2025. Please note that the CrossClimate tires sold in Europe differ in design from those sold in North America. This is because consumers in each market have different priorities for tire performances based on driving style, vehicle types, geography, and climate. As a result, Michelin has tailored the tire construction to meet the unique needs of both regions. While the CrossClimate3 tire has been available in Europe since July 2025, North America will continue with the Michelin CrossClimate2 tire for the next several years. As a part of the Most Awarded tire brand in the U.S., the Michelin CrossClimate2 tire continues to offer industry leading performance and is designed to perform in all weather conditions, with excellent wet and dry braking. Based on our internal testing, the Michelin CrossClimate2 tire outlasted 10 different competitors and also lasts nearly 2 years longer than the new Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady®2 tire.(8)(10)

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.
WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.
DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 19" diameter tire on a 19.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 22" diameter tire on a 22.5" rim.
Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
For speeds over 160mph (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.
