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

Won't buy Michelin Tire again if it's the last tire on earth. All my so called premium quality Michelin tires cracks with a million smiles. As for the 5 years fake warranty from Michelin for manufacturing defect ? Looks like 4 rolling time bombs on wheels . Kiss them goodbye in only 3 years with no adjustment, no replacement, and no refund. But played plentiful of famous "Michelin BLAME GAME" for them to laugh at. There are plenty better tires from the competitions , go figure.

I used them last winter too and was impressed with traction in all snow conditions and even worked surprisingly well when icy. The CC2 is much better than any traditional “all-season” tire and doesn’t compromise much compared to a dedicated winter tire.

We have Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires on both our Outback and Forester. We live in a very mountainous area of north central Washington state, 5 miles from town (25 miles from the city) on a private road that we have plow and maintain ourselves. We get 5-7 feet of snow every winter. We have found that the Cross Climate 2 tires are Awesome on Dry, wet, slushy, snowy, logging and forest roads. We recommend these tires to everyone. 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. When our Cross Climate 2 tires wear out we’ll replace them with another set.

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.

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. 👍

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

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.

I bought these a few years back for my wife's old Subaru Forester after she failed to make it up our rather steep gravel driveway three times with the stock tires. No issues after that in even worse conditions and driving it up to the top of Sandia peak in the winter actually was enjoyable! She has a new Forester now and as winter approaches, she'll be getting another set.

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!

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.

They're not cheap, but when you don't need 2 sets of tires, I'd say that's worth the price.

[@kc510]

How’s the noise?

[@kemy5368]

Which size did you buy ? I can get a set of 4 Crossclimate + for 334€ and that's for 205/55 R16 94 V XL tires.

[@jpezzy-3653]

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.

[@bkgill88]

Are these a C3M tire or manufactured the regular way?

[@jpezzy-3653]

@@bkgill88 My apologies but I don’t know if I can answer that too well but at our facility they are laid and cut by machine with operators watching and verifying. Our tolerances are tight though at 1-2mm.

[@bkgill88]

@@jpezzy-3653 Gotcha, let me rephrase my question. Are the cross climate tires made at the PRIME plant or another US factory?

[@jpezzy-3653]

@@bkgill88 I believe they’re manufactured in Lexington, Fort Wayne, and Tuscaloosa. My understanding is PRIME manufactures high-performance tires for Cadillac, Mercedes, Ford, GM and racing tires. Hope that helps.

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.

[@edm4079]

These will surely be my next set of Michelin tires on my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4. I currently run Michelin LTX M-S

Just added these tires to my Volvo XC60 . Amazingly 😱 way better traction then my stock all season tires that came on vechicle. I am sold now to get all weather tires in New Hampshire . Way more traction in winter then old all season tires I been using for last 30 years in NH. I am telling people at work ALL WEATHER tires are the way to go if don’t want to get snow tires.

Thanks for this review. I just ordered a set for my Sienna van. Really looking forward to replacing a set of Hankook tires that were actually good tires except noisy and leaky (leaky surprised me...a first!). If these Michelins live up to the hype, I'll be a very happy driver!

[@spiritof76forever81]

Can you post an update? From a Sienna owner who is curious.

[@garyrobertson5679]

@@spiritof76forever81 Yep. Hello fellow Sienna owner. Still very pleased with them. Really great traction, snow, slush, rain, whatever. Quiet as advertised. Definitely will do them again. Check Costco for pkg deal and free rotation, road hazard, etc...I got a rebate too.

@@garyrobertson5679 Thank you for the tip - I did not know Costco carried them.

I have had the crossclimate 2(s) about 3 weeks. So far so good. They stop quicker/shorter distance. They do not spin when I peel out like the Michelin pilots did. They were decent on wet payment no spinning. I will post more once I make it through the snow and more wet weather.

see how long these Michelin last before degrading... before switching to the original German design of Continental tires, I have had 4 bad sets (16 tires) of Michelins over 5 years on different daily drivers.

I got these tires in may this year. Im in b.c Canadian in the real heavy rain i can't even tell. I can't wait to drive in the snow.

[@VovaDesignCanada]

Thanks a lot for great review. What tire would you recommend for Toyota Venza V6? I am planning to continue using true winter tires, so winter is not an issue. Since I leave in Canada sometimes weather can surprise us, like snow in October or late spring frost. I had in mind Michelin Defender and Premier LTX and they announced Cross Climate 2. What would be your choice out of these 3? Thanks a lot and looking forward new videos and reviews.

[@adrianw3985]

My daughter has the original cross climate tire on her car in SLC, she said they were great in the Utah snow.

I’d like to see them tested against top quality summer tyres to see how much performance I’d loose. I’m sure the winter performance will be just fine for my UK winter.

I have had my eyes on these tires for quite sometime now. And i am just about sold on purchasing them. Having previously bought a set of Michelin tires in the past and been more than satisfied , I can't wait to purchase these tires and test them out.

[@TheJoshMan121]

I guess my only question here is how do these stack up against the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus? I've been running Pilots since October, so I am in no need of new tires but it would be good to know. I would imagine/hope the Pilots are still better overall.

[@KyleBrightman]

I asked Tire Rack to do a comparison across categories (GT A/S, HP A/S, etc) and heard nothing but crickets. I think Michelin is scared of independent reviewers finding out that the CrossClimates beat the Pilot A/S line when tested in a scientifically controlled manner.

[@detuned_SEKAI]

i have these on a rwd and awd vehicle. these are wonderful in the snow. just enough grip to get around snow reasonably in rwd and just enough to slide around when you want!

[@rubenbraekman4515]

I've been running the original Crossclimates ever since they came out. I've got 43000km on mine and the thread is still like brand new with mostly city driving and slight dirt/gravel road driving. I'm interested to see how the new ones compare to the OG's

I'M SOLD! I still have good tread depth on my current tires, being CONTINENTALS but I'm going for new wheels and want to keep my stock Honda rims on rubbers to be able to resell them later with more than adequate tires. These babies are just what I want. Living in a rain forest zone with the odd chance of any real cold, ice or snow I need premium rain tires that can perform well in our dry Summer conditions. It stays above 6° here all year 99% of the time. If you don't travel up mountains or our hwys to northern cities n towns these are optimal tires. Southern British Columbia is the area that these tires will perform in very well. After my local Honda parts guy recommended these I came here and now feel confident they are the ones I need and want. Thanks for the great review, no dumb music, chatter, blabbering slang and trying to sound cool, just the info we want!
