i dont get snow where i live, but i do get several months of freezing cold weather. enough so that every high performance "summer" tire ive ever had starts cracking after one winter... i have a purpose built performance suspension on my daily & i need a stickier performance tire that will pull daily duty all year long, wont crack under 30 degrees, but will actually give me some decent grip in the corners... any suggestions? always enjoy yalls videos, thanx

Can you talk about a comparison between the cross climate 2, the pilot sport s4s and the continental DWS 06?

[@Rapscallion2009]

I had the CrossClimate+ on my car, and it was a really good tyre. I'd describe it, as Michelin do, as a Summer tyre with Winter capability. I could spot zero compromise in the dry or wet, and they were worlds apart from the stock Continental PremiumContact 5 the car came with in the Snow - totally different. Even lasted well, being removed at nearly 30,000 miles. I now have the Continental AllSeasonsContact. They seem slightly (very slightly) better in the wet, not as good in the dry and about the same in Snow. Wear seems good, but possibly not as good as the Michelin. Also driven the same model car on Goodyear Vector4 Seasons. These are quieter than the above, more comfortable, and handle well in the dry and wet. Not driven them in Winter so can't comment, but the owner of the car says they're good. Wear seems higher then either the Michelin or Continental. The quietness and comfort is really noticeable and if that's your priority, go for these. The wear may be a factor if you are a high-mileage driver. These were not an XL tyre but the other two were - so there's that. No significant difference in fuel economy between the three, but for the record the Michelin was best but by such a small margin it's hardly definative. Pretty sure the CC2 will be my next tyre, whenever I need it.

[@glasser2819]

Continentals deliver lasting performance where Michelins are specially formulated to get soft and waste themselves after 3 to 4 years. Besides on FRONT wheel drives passenger cars Michelins tires make the steering feel like chewing gum as opposite to Continental the car still drives on rails after 40kMi. Michelin has the best PR fluff and the highest pricing for people who don't know better. 👍

[@AbleMable]

@@glasser2819 sounds like a butthurt guy with inferior continentals

[@Rocinante1963]

The Michelin CC2's are the best tire money can buy. Please, don't embarrass other tires by comparing them to the CC2's. I had them installed on my car for about $1,000. They're well worth it. Precious cargo inside your car.

[@kevinbays3408]

I've been putting these on for quite a few years now and won't use anything else. They're perfect for the UK climate, I found myself out doing 4wd cars in the snow with my 2wd Zafira B!

[@Rapscallion2009]

This is my argument. Unless you live in the North of Scotland it's hard to justify 2 sets of tyres in the UK. Between November and March, Winter tyres will spend most of their time over-temperature (7 c) and doing more harm than good. A good set of all seasons makes a lot of sense as it covers all bases you're actually likely to encounter without excessively compromising anything.

[@mjg123mg]

@@Rapscallion2009 I live in the UK and and have crossclimate + on my car since 2018,they are amazing. I actually went past a Range Rover spinning four wheels in the snow probably on summers. Won't be putting anything but crossclimate on my future cars.

[@Rapscallion2009]

@@mjg123mg Same here. I had the all seasons on for the last few winters and I've seen a lot of cars struggling that ought to be significantly more capable than mine in conditions where I was fine. To be honest, since most people go over the winter with summer tyres on their car I'm increasingly thinking that - now this technology exists - the government should possibly introduce the seasonal tyre laws like you get in many parts of Europe. 10 years ago this would have meant people swapping over, which is onerous on many levels, now it would just mean people having to chose a "year round" tyre with both sets of markings, rather than running a summer tyre all winter as they do today with sometimes tragic results. The weird thing is that these things are not "slightly" better than summer tyres - they're in a totally different league in winter conditions but I can't say I detect any downsides compared to summer tyres. So - why wouldn't you?

[@mjg123mg]

@@Rapscallion2009 Exactly if people took the leap of faith to these or any other all season tyres maybe we wouldn't be at a standstill when the white stuff fall's. Our country has a unique climate and these crossclimate tyre's are made to measure for it.

[@BrianBrunebjergNielsen]

Ran a set up Crossclimate and shanged them after running them for 75000 non agressive driving style miles... Changed mine for Crossclimate 2... They drain water werry well. On rainy dayes. In my opinion it is a better choise as to running a cheaper winther and summer tyres and having to pay for extra tmps and coding of tpms as changing from summer to winther and back and also riskin running on old rubber. which gets hard and hence performs worse over time.

[@TheTalibandrew]

I am using a set of CrossClimate+ on my daily driver Corolla. Got them for $600 from Tyre Rack, and are turning 10,000 miles/1 year by around October of this year. These tires were able to take me thru a freak winter storm in the Chicago suburbs. 4 inches of snow on the road at one time, and the storm totaled up to 8 or 9 inches. I definitely recommend them, especially during those "transition" months, and here in Chicago where weather can be crazy sometimes. But I wouldn't go crazy with the snow depth, especially if your car doesn't have the ground clearance.

[@AutoDIY]

So it is great in the snow rated for severe, unless you live somewhere where it snows? C'mon Luigi do I really need dedicated snow tires? Guido wants to know.

[@peterwho9380]

I can tell you it's not because I use to have the X-Ice Xi3's on my 16 Mustang and those were the worse tires I have ever used! They are great for FW & AWD vehicles but definitely RWD cars. Even on light snow it was slow and very scary/nerve racking being on them and had to go to the Blizzak WS80's and have been safe since! The Blizzak's are horrible for fuel and tread wear which everyone knows but I choose safety over that anytime. The WS90's just came out which has a stiffer compound but that doesn't mean it's better for RWD cars, softer compounds are always a better thing especially for Canadian winter!

[@devkid3211]

It’s rated for *light snow*. Winter tires are made to where the rubber will not be effected in temperatures that are below freezing for months at a time. All season tires do not have the same rating and expectancy to withstand the most extreme winter conditions even if they match legal limits to drive in snow.

[@rockheadbikes1675]

I love these tires. I have them on my car. They are great in the rain. I had as much confidence in the rain with these tires as much as I had on dry roads. I couldnt believe I was able to take turns off exits as well as corners on the highway at the speed I was driving in the rain without a hint of slippage. Great performance tire on dry roads. Great in the heat. And I cant wait to try them out in the snow, ice and slush.

[@bandkadams8897]

Love these tires. Have had them about 6 months (CC-2) and they are much quieter than the Hankook tires that came with my 2017 Honda CRV EXL. I live in FL and they grip the road strong in wet weather and ride smooth all the time. Hold air very well. 100% satisfied. Amazing tires. They do look different, but I have gotten used to the look and the design seems superior to the standard tire design. I would not be surprised if all tire makers eventually adopt the V tread pattern.

If you compare this to another tire place test (I don't want to take traffic from your site) it is the number 1 grand touring tire and if you compare it to the snow tires it is as good on snow as the Bridgestone Blizzak ws90 in snow acceleration and braking distance and close to the maximum performance Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 on ice, and does as well as the Nokian Nordman snow tire that is a rebadged Hakkapeliitta R2 when the new Hakkapeliitta R3 came out So it is as good as a older model dedicated snow tire, but better wet dry traction when temperature rises and roads are clear It exceeds others in tread wear even though it is rated at 640, as the performance never fades like other tires also compares close to some UHP tires for braking and G-forces for summer It is dead silent and supple, perfect on center feel as it has a round contact patch vs a square It also has such low rolling resistance that Polestar has them as standard equipment on there electric cars I have the 215/55r17 on my Lexus 300h and gained 2 MPG No trouble so far this winter freezing rain deep snow, slick spots near stop signs, amazing I always thought a do it all tire would be a compromise They are not, they excels in all, or I would be running dedicated winter tires now on 16" steel Camry rims like I used to do You really have to try them for yourself, as this sounds like BS as I would think if I read this before I got them for myself I figured they are the number 1 Grand touring for summer, so if the winter stuff is BS I can always throw on new snow tires on the 16" steel Camry rims like I used to do

I work as a technician where we manufacture these in 17/18in seat sizes and the special trick with these tires is the tread compound. It’s formulated so the rubber doesn’t get really hard in cold weather and ride/grip poorly but doesn’t become super sticky and wear fast in warm weather. But having the full depth sipes, down to 2/32, is a worthwhile cost of a lot of Michelin, Uniroyal, BFGoodrich tires.

Our Subie’s have great traction and since installing the Cross Climate 2 tires our Subaru’s are planted more firmly on the road or lack there of. My wife recommended them to both of her brothers (they live in Montana). One of her brothers put them on their Outback and love the tires. I told my brother who he and his wife live in Portland Oregon. He laughed and told me that they already have them on their Outback as well. They get all of the rain and we get all of the snow.

If it's available in size 265/70R16, I would definitely install it on my 2013 Frontier SV four-cylinder. Currently using the Michelin LTX, adequate, decent wet grip, but I got spoiled by the wet performance of the HYDROEDGE on my '98 Frontier XE.

I'm about to put these new shoes on my Lexus RX330 AWD in a 4-seasons region; the US Pacific/Mountain Northwest, and we're heading into Winter now, so I'm looking forward to finding out how these handle in light-to-medium dry snow conditions. Saw one complaint about how they handle grooved pavement, which we have a lot of here, so we'll see. I'm also curious how quiet they'll be, or if my mpgs take a hit.

I have the Plus, but I wouldn't say they were that good in the dry. I can still feel like the front of the car is about to break when going round a roundabout in the dry!! I had Bridgestone LM25's all round prior to getting the CC+, and they were the Dino's danglies. These CC+ are just not as grippy. Have to wait for temps to drop to see how they do at 5°c. The LM-25 drove like velcro at 5°c everywhere.

First off Michelin is far from being ground braking in the All weather category. They are like the last manufacturer to the table. Most of the technology in this tires have been used for years in all weather tires like the Nokian Wrg4 or Toyo Celsius. The other funny part is that after one year of release that had to change things and rebrand as the cross climate 2. Dont over pay for the Michelin tax. Get Nokian’s if your looking at this segment of tires.

Outside of a higher speed rating, which doesn't matter on my Chrysler 200 (36.l V6, 6 speed auto, factory 18x7 7 spoke wheels restricted to 120mph and no need to go faster), I can't see why I would buy those. They don't make them in 225/50R18 my car came with or in 235/50/R18 like I've used for the last 5 years, with the biggest size offered being 235/45R18. They cost more than the BFG Comp 2 All Seasons and Firestone Firehawk A/S I have run on my car and are about 1" shorter new due to the lower aspect ratio. The BFG's did a fantastic job of moving water, even when pretty much worn out (not so great in snow, by then thought) and the 'Stones are nearly as good in all I've thrown them at and lasted a lot longer than the BFGs, though are only V rated vs Z rated on the BFG and Y rated on these Michelins

I'm completely blown away by these tyres. Since i got these tyres we've had everything from completely frozen roads to 10cm of snow to dry roads and temperatures -20 C. Today we have rain and slushy roads here in Sweden. So far I have not had any problems. Going uphill in cold snowy conditions on my studded tyres it always spinn but with these there is no problems. It must be the rib threads. When i bought the tyres i thought that i'd change to normal studded winter tyres when it got below freezing but the CC2 have worked so well that i'm gonna drive them through winter. Havent noticed any change in gas mileage, Sweden just changed to 10E here so it it's bad anyways.. and road noise is hard to tell as we have the worse roads in the universe lol.

[@Hypokrites]

An expensive tire yet rated for unmatched reliability and performance, I was going to bite down hard and buy them after reading the excellent reviews on Consumer Reports. I tried to find a good deal, since they were about $175-180.00 before installation for the CrossClimate 1s. I own a 2007 Toyota Camry LE. However, the gentlemen from my local tire shop (Mavis Tire) sold me on four Achilles 868, all season tires. Did a bit of research and found that most people were happy with them, and their website notes that the parent company, PT Multistrada Arah Sarana (MASA) sought “technical assistance from global manufacturer Pirelli (1991 to 1994), followed by a similar agreement with Continental (1994 to 2000),” which left me mostly satisfied with MASA’s technology. They grip nice and have performed well in the rain, but I can only imagine how well these perform considering the excellent reviews. One “potential” negative that I found for the v1 of the tire was road noise, so I wonder if Michelin has found a solution. Great video! 👍🏾 1.) www.achillestireusa.com/about
