Have the CrossClimate2 on my 2017 Subaru Forester XT. Love them! Just had a lot of snow here in NY State and these tires handled great. Over two months and very satisfied.

Have had these for 2 winters and 1 1/2 years on my 2015 GMC Yukon Denali, 6.2 liter 420 HP V8. Now at 20,000 miles. Tire is fantastic in virtually all conditions. Just used them in 4" compacted unplowed snow (JAN 2024). Put car in AWD, turned off traction control and accelerated from stop at virtually full throttle. No wheel spin whatsoever. Braked down from 50 mph to stop as hard as I could. No ABS intrusion. Stopped straight and quickly. Went to empty parking lot and performed controlled drifts in figure 8 circles. Easy and near effortless to control any slide using throttle modulation. They perform just as well as when new. The aggressive tire tread suggests noise. NOT! They simply don't produce the in cabin noise, the aggressive tread suggest they might. BTW, I am a nationally certified racing and high performance instructor and do so for Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Audi, Jaguar, NASA, SCDA, Hooked on Driving and a host of other car clubs. Please consider these tires. You won't regret it. BTW, I have no connection or affiliation with Michelin whatsoever.

Thank for recommending.I bought a set of Michelin on tire4coin. All recommendations for them.

Just bought a set for wife’s car. Wow, huge difference between the worn all season on there before. I think they are even better than my dedicated winter i have on my car. We have a steep driveway and her vehicle with these tires just claws right up, where my vehicle with dedicated winter somehow struggles a bit... which is ridiculous considering i spent about the same for my winter as these crossclimate 2...plus now I have to swap tires every year. Folks, dont hesitate on these, my wife and I are more than impressed.

One of the best explanations of all the engineering features of a tire I have seen ! Well done. The trade off seems to be mostly mileage since you are admitting it starts with a winter - type compound (instead of the other way around). I drive a performance sedan and if this is all you give up it will still be worth it to avoid the hassle of switching tires twice a year.

Had the first version in my GLk 220d 4matic. It went thru snow, slush, dry scorching heat, rain like a champion. Very quiet and comfortable. My wife said that it feels like I upgraded the suspension. In summer was better than the original Goodyear Efficient Grip in all areas. In snow they gripped and had a very nice controlled feel. Loved them

I got a set 2 weeks ago and although it won't be snowing any time soon I can say dry and wet performance is better than I expected. There is a bit more road noise but I usually have the radio on so I don't notice it too much. Overall so far I'm satisfied with these tires.

Just put these on my Audi Q5, OMG .... how they grip on snowy roads here in Colorado is nothing short of amazing. Best gripping “ all season” snow tire I’ve ever had, and I’ve owned many other top brand tires over the years. Feel good on dry roads as well.

Saw this on Jason Fenske's youtube page. Outstanding concept & design. I just purchased a full set for my Lexus SUV at Costco. Install is scheduled for just a few days away. Very glad I learned about this tire.

So I have a set of Four on my 2010 Toyota Corolla and it's snowed twice this year here in PA. Performed way better than expected. Even got out of a parking spot with 6 inches of snow in front of me with little effort. Would highly recommend on any vehicle. Probably would be absolute king on an AWD vehicle.

I got this for my 2018 xv crosstrek and omg it runs so well in the snow... doesn't even need spring chains...

Just put these on my 2013 Nissan Altima and I'm very very pleased with them. Just recently had a winter storm that left behind a lot of snow and ice and the tires handled it with no issues. Will definitely be putting these tires on my other vehicles. 👏🏾 Great job as usual Michelin!!!

❤ good review I’m glad I tuned in.

Just put them on my 2019 crosstrek and drove around in the snow and ice that swept through the northeast. Hands down the best traction I've ever had including dedicated snow tires! Lost 1 or 2 mpg but it's well worth it in my opinion.

We're trading in our 5 year old car on Monday and our favorite thing about it are the CrossClimate2 tires that I put on last December.

I purchased a set of PIRELLI scorpion weather active tires for my 2017 VOLVO XC60 T6 R design and I’m very impressed with all the characteristics this tire can perform on.

I have the CrossClimate2 on my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. These are the tires that should’ve been on the vehicle, straight from the factory. So far it’s the best handling tire I have ever owned (in over 3 decades of driving).

I just bought this tire and I live in Florida, and even though it doesn’t snow here. I love the design and it feels smooth on the road, this will be my new favorite tire to buy for now on.

Great technical explanation and review.

I bought these after learning about them from Jason Fenske. Researched them then bought them. Installed them two weeks before Storm Uri. I'm an old guy who has lived in Germany and Montana so I've driven in everything from black ice to -20F packed ice/snow--I like snow but I love Texas more and am glad to be home. That said, these tires have been great in driving rain and they did better on the snow/ice we had with storm Uri than any tire I've ever used before. I left Ft. Worth in 5 degree Fahrenheit temps and drove 125 miles further NorthEast. These tires provided tremendous traction, hence confidence, during the drive. Never needed chains. Very glad to have them on my 2021 RAV4 AWD. Thank you, Jason, for this timely information.

Great analysis…thank you! 👍🏻😃👍🏻

Τι The best demonstration ever done!!!!!!!

Your explanation of tire engineering combined with your real world experience with the tire was spectacular! I intend to direct others to view this video. Impressive.

I just had them ordered in Europe - all thanks to this video!

Thank you for this. Very informative.

I got this tire almost 2 years ago, and loved the grip in wet/heavy down pour, confident in snowy and icy roads. BUT, as it ages above 25000 miles, it got noisier and noisier. I am at 58K miles on these tires and the noise is all the way from city driving > 20 mph all the way constant thrumming noise at highway speeds. Treads are still good and might last another 20K miles, but I cannot stand the noise anymore. Also as soon as I switched to these tires my mpg dropped from 42 to 37.5 mpg. I was willing to give the mpg for better traction, until the road noise is going to drive me nuts.

I live in NV. Some mountain pass winter driving, cold weather, hard rain and extreme heat driving are common for me. I just got a set of these today. They ride very well. I hope to get 5 years of use and have a better safer driving experience.

Driven them over 37,000 miles between 105F~-40F for 20 months now and they are wonderful. Such a hassle free tire that I do not have to think abut when I would need to swap the tires or if I swapped them too early. Do need a few extra psi to match the MPG of a HEV OEM Energy Saver A/S tires that is only good for MPG and none winter dry roads.

I ordered a set from Costco and will be getting it installed on my car in 10days, I am so excited. I had hydroplane accident before and I really need something that can performs well in the rain

Very interesting video! I'm writing from Italy as an owner of a set of Crossclimate+ (very satisfied with them , after 50.000 kilometers still 4.5 millimetres remaining and good working on wet and snow). I have a question: when will we see these tyres in Europe? Will they be adapted to our climate (as the Crossclimate+ were more oriented to South Europe countries, I remark perfect with hot summers 40-45 degrees and mild winters 3 to 8 degrees)? Thanks!!!

Thanks for a great informative review. I live in the uk, drive a font wheel drive Renault kadjar. Fitted a set of cc2 a month ago. Very expensive, fortunately you get a lot for your money. To say they transformed the comfort of the drive over original factory fitted continentals isn't a exaggeration. We had 5 inches of snow they handled everything superbly, so much so I was looking for reasons to drive in the snow. Also they seriously reduce aquaplaning as I have tested on some deep standing water at speed with no drama just went straight through it straight as an arrow. If the mileage stacks up, well they will be the best tyres you can buy, especially for the uk climate, we literally can and do have all four seasons in one day. As far as fuel economy I haven't honestly noticed any real difference, If you experience a small drop, it's worth it to have tyres that give you confidence in all conditions.

Hey man 1 Best breakdown on a tires that I have seen! My questions for you would be :

I've driven numerous cars over 200K miles. The Crossclimate2 is the most aggressive all-season tire I've ever driven in the snow. They're pricey, but you get what you pay for. Hands down the best tire I've ever had.

Hey Jason, another great video I could have saved a lot of research if I had of seen this video before I bought the tires Because if a genius like you chose them, that would have been good enough for me, but this video just confirms I made the right choice My research was Tire Rack tests and an on-line tire size calculator These tires perform as well as some dedicated winter snow tires in the test, except a bit longer stopping on ice But perform almost as well as dedicated High Performance winter tires on ice They are the number one Grand Touring tire in all tests They stop almost as short in wet and dry and pull almost as many G-forces as tires in the Ultra High Performance group I really wanted these for my 2019 Audi A8, as a one tire solution, as I drive it like it's a German Lincoln town car, more focused on quiet smooth Luxury ride, then trying to turn it into a Porsche 911 Unfortunately they only come in two 20 inch sizes 245/45r20 and 245/40r20 and my car takes 265/40 r20 When I was looking to buy a used A8, I could not find a A8 with 19”wheels, as the 20” wheel is only a $1,200.00 option that everybody chose, apparently I checked the sizes and the 245/45r20 will work as it is almost the same height as the 275/35r21 that is an option on the car 28.58” for the 275/35r21 vs 28.68” for the 245/45r20, this also gives me almost as much sidewall as the 19” 4.34 inches for the 245/45r20 vs 4.52 inches for 255/45r19 that was standard on the car for a better ride, and the tread width is the exact same 8.6 inches as the standard 255/45r19 that the car also came with I am extremely happy as I can have fun in the winter when the days are warm and roads are clear without destroying the tires And drive on snow and ice with no worries and have awesome wet and dry braking when the days are warm and roads are clear This is as close to a one tire solution as it gets, also a long 640 tread wear, and on par pricing with the rest of the high end Grand Touring tires Not to mention saving the cost of 4 winter tires, mount, balance, TPMS and 4 OEM Audi A8 rims and changing twice a year

Been driving on these in the north of the UK since 2016, they are true do it all, fit and forget tyres,

I bought these for my Bolt EV and little did I know they would have such a high rolling resistance. I'm coming from the OEM Michelin Energy Savers and these tires decreased my efficiency and range by over 10%. I was super bummed because I just had my battery replaced under a recall and they replaced it with one that has 10% more capacity and now I could make certain trips in the winter without stopping. After changing my tires to these CC2s that 10% more range was completely gone. I'm back to either stopping to charge, driving below the speed limit, or no heat. If I had put these on my minivan, it would cost me another 260+ gallons of gas in 40,000 miles. You can work it out with what ever price you pay for gas, but it's much more than the cost of the tires to begin with. You can immediately tell the rolling resistance. My Bolt calls for 38 PSI and when I had the Energy Savers the pressure may increase to maybe 39 PSI on the highway. These CrossClimate2s increase to 41-42 PSI. They handle great and all the reviews make it sound like there's no downsides. But MPG is one of them.

Hello Michelin USA, as Jason said, the CrossClimate+ is a European designed AllWeather tire, whereas the CrossClimate2 is designed for the Northamerican market. When the CrossClimate2 will be introduced to the European market, will it be adapted to the European market, or will we get the same tire as the Americans/Canadians?

Driving through mud, these shoot the mud and water out. I was fascinated to see this in action on my crossclimate 2s

Agreed. Amazing tires. Going into my third Canadian winter.

The CrossClimate2 is a magical tire. They work a treat on my wife’s CX-3.

I have the crossclimate2 tires and they are amazing. I have them on a front wheel drive CRV and let me tell you they are the best tires I've ever used on rainy flooded Louisiana roads, on fluffy sandy beaches in Texas and no problem in snowy Illinois now. This is the best tires ever made and look awesome too.

Some still remember the Michelin HydroEdge. It was a fantastic tire I used more than twenty years ago. Wish Michelin brings new Crossclimate tires down in Mexico. We are waiting for it 😍

if I'm not mistaken, you drove these off road judging by some of the bit snippets from your drive testing. how do these tires hold up on dirt roads ?

Would you recommend this for civic type r ? Can this handle aggressive cornering and accelerating?

Will these tires stand up to gravel? I live 1 mile down a gravel and rock road (Typically driven at 20mph or so). Will this present a wear issue given the softer compound?

I just bought a set for my ford taurus sel awd u hope they perform well in the Appalachian mountains

I like all your reviews, you speak so anyone can understand. I bought four Firestone WeatherGrip all weather tires for the same reason on 11/25 2020. My 2021 Kia Seltos SX Turbo takes 235/45/18 and Michelin does not have that tire in that size at this time in the CrossClimate2 and I thought they looked like a farm tractor tire but after your explanation I now see how much I know ha ha. I will have anyone that ask me about all-weather tires view this explanation video before they buy. Others have stated these were great tires but never convinced like your plain talk has done... Thank you.

I’m waiting for these to come in. 05 Impreza Outback Sport

Wonder how these would work as mud tires with the tread patter continued down the sidewall some.

I drive a 2017 Lexus RX350 in Alberta, Canada. In winter, we occasionally drive on icy highways. How do these Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires perform on icy roads?

Are these still good in a hot summer climate like Las Vegas? I'm just concerned that they will not be as good in the heat.

I was very impressed with the complete and technically accurate description of the tread pattern differences between tire types and what makes this CrossClimate tire work. Watch this video and you will understand more about tire tread pattern styles than any one else you know. Be the smartest person in the room.

Live in the northeast so sounds like will be great for winter and daily driving but how do these perform as a touring tire? Specifically how comfortable and noisy are these tires on a very long summer drive (NJ to FL) in a loaded up minivan?

My early 2020 CC+ had 3 of 4 tires tread separate in 20 kmi on a 05 G35S in AZ under normal care and use. New owner called them poor and got different tires. I never tried them in snow. Destroyed my shoulder on first ski day of new season. My observations over the first 5 kmi are they had slower and less precise turn in that previous Michelin UHP all seasons, were noiser includeing odd road surface resonances especially on crosscut ecpressways and used about 5% more fuel at normal 70 mph speeds. May still get another set on my 17 Highlander awd. .. Aged out of downhill though.

We live in a very mountainous area of north central Washington state. We’re 5 miles from town (25 miles from the city). We have to plow and maintain our private road ourselves. We get 5-7 feet of snow every winter. We have both an Outback and Forester. We have Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires on both of our Subie’s. The tires are Awesome on Dry, Wet, Snowy, Logging and Forest roads. We’re so glad that we can drive on them year round. When they wear out, we’ll replace them with another set of Cross Climate 2 tires. We recommend them to everyone !

Have a Honda CRV LX 2013 bought used last year. Need to replace original tires(age and dry rot), but have good mounted Blizzak snows. Several tire shops steered me away from the CrossClimate saying it will become noisy after a couple of years of wear. Maybe was true for CrossClimate, but is it true for the newest CrossClimate2? CrossClimate SUV? When will Michelin come out with 215/70/16 in CrossClimate2? Am I better off using my mounted Blizzak snows for winter and buying Michelin Defender for no snow weather? I wonder if tire shops see the real all season/snow/ice capabilities of the CrossClimate2 as a threat to getting you for twice a year visits when they can sell you on other services and 2 sets of tires? Your advice is welcomed. Thanks!

I have brand new tires Michelin Cross Climate 2 DOT 2023, but have some very strange noise when slightly turning left/right at high speed (80+km). I passed calibration front and rear axle and everything is ok on the suspension. The noise is only expressed at speeds above 80 km/h and is of a non-constant nature and is quite annoying. Any guesses if it could be from the tire tread, I didn't expect such a problem from such a high end tire. Are other people having a similar problem? After 1000km passed, noise is quite lower, but still exist.

will the fact that the rotation is not cross but linear be a problem over time?

What is the difference between the cross climate and the cross climate 2? Also, what is the difference between the directional and Non directional tires? Thank you.

just got one from costco! can't wait to have them installed!

I just purchased the Cross Climate 2 last week for my 2022 VW ID.4 Pro S AWD and honestly, I like how it feels but with the caveat that I have lost significant range. Hoping that eventually, it will catch back to 3.4 to 3.8mi/kWh as I used to have with the OEM tires.

The best tyre, the Michelin for all users.No fussy problems to set or make the wheel alignment because of the 👌good quality and 🍁component. All customers're satisfied to set this brand, although it's most expensive than the other brands, but it's worthy for safty.

Is there a left side and a right side CrossClimate 2? In other words, can you dismount a CrossClimate 2 from the left wheel, and remount it on the right wheel, still going the same direction if needed to offset inner or outer tire wear?

Anyone ever tried these on a truck? I don’t go off-road a whole lot, but there is snow here in DC. Would they be better than my BFG All-terrains?

Wonderful tires Michelin Cross climate everyone needs to look at these .

Just wondering if I can use these on a GTI Mk7 Performance Pack as my only set. Currently running dedicated winter/summer sets

I've been seeing a lot of complaints all over regarding noise after awhile.The noise I've had from a couple tiers in the past drove us to madnesses.Many have said they didn't have noise.You can't return them at 25,000 or more when they get loud. So I'm out ,can't take the chance .Buying a set Pirelli Scorpions P3’s.

Ive been do my due dilligance on the CC2 before purchase at Costco that are on sale $150 of a set of 4 for my 2013 Passat I bought used for daily driver with some fairly worn 45K ContiContactPro that are absolutely dangerous in the wet. I had the the CCP's hydroplane very badly a few weeks in a moderate downpour so I know they going to be horrible in the snow and the reviews seems to support my assumption. So far Ive had nothing but good experiences with the 2 sets Michelin tires the last 5 years. Im looking forward to improving the ride and safety of the current driver.

I live in Raleigh NC…would the cross climate 2 work for me? Or would the Lattitde tour HO be better?

My experiance on snow : They was 80 % ! like snow tires while start and drive , but only 20 % on snow brake So i dont feel comfortable at all to drive them in snow . i hope to improve them . At the moment i have 2 of them i use them on the front axle on my FWD for 9 monts and at the winter i move them back and i use winter in the frond

Anyone tried these on unimproved roads? Or on a beach/sand? I'm not talking running the dunes - I mean more like for purposes of going fishing off the beach. I realize not their purpose but just curious how the might do. Thanks in advance.

Sir, what's your opinion using Cross Climate 2 tires (235/45R18) on a 2018 Model 3 LR? Struggling with this choice vs Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, 235/45ZR18/XL Thanks for your fine channel. Watching since your Performance had the pothole blowouts on the Interstate.

About to order these for my 2018 Tesla Model 3 LR RWD. Was running Michelin Ice-X the last two winters and they are great for snow, but don't handle great otherwise and to be honest how much snow am I going to drive a lower Tesla in anyways. Excited to put these on and run them all year here in NJ.

I love, love my Cross Country Michelin tires!

Would the CrossClimate2s be good for a minivan like the 2018 Toyota Sienna or would the CrossClimate SUV tires be better since they're probably made for a heavier vehicle like a minivan?

What a great review, thank you so much. Just ordered a set today, almost went with nokian, but your video got me going with Michelin my favorite brand. Thx

Can anyone clue me in on what the rotation should be? Consider these are directional you would have to dismount and remount balance to cross them, just adds more cost to the customer, I'm looking to purchase these really soon if I can get some idea what to expect and miliage 40,000 ? 50,000 ?

Expensive but seems to be worth it It'll be on my vehicle next winter probably or the one after that Mine are still in decent shape Rocking right now some BFGOODRICH g-Force™ COMP-2 A/S PLUS

No mention of cold weather (7C and below) breaking distances on dry, snow or ice covered roads.

Hi! how does the cross climate to compare with the latitude tour hp?

My question is, how come the Michelin Cross Climate 2 does not come in size 265/45 R20? Michelin might want to answer this question.I would like to buy these tires for my Mercedes Benz ML 350 BlueTec SUV but the Cross Climate 2 is not available on that size. My other option is the Michelin Cross Climate SUV which comes with the size for my vehicle. What’s the difference between the Cross Climate 2 and Cross Climate SUV? It might be worth trying these tires because I live in western Canada where sometimes we get a moderate amount of snow in the winter.

40+ K on my BMWX3 with a set of MICHELIN cross climate tires. Best tire I've ever owned ...

Potete fare video in italiano .grazie

I just got them for my Giulietta, and they are so squirmy, like driving on the road covered with the gummy bears. :) Does the thread squirm go away after some time, if yes when it will get back to "normal"?

Went to your website: No CrossClimate 2 for the 2021 Tesla Model Y Long Range (19" wheels). When will we see a CrossClimate 2 for the 2012 Model Y?

Hello, what is depth of crossclimate 2, because was surprising by cc plus With depth only 7mm. Thanks

How would these be for a Tesla? Specifically less efficient and more road noise? This is what shops are saying

What does the three notches on the backside of every tread block do for the tire looks like it was not on the previous generation

So, when can we expect them to arrive in Europe?

I’m debating these between Xice vs cross climate 2s for winters in Canada

thx. just bought a set of 4 of crossclimate 2. whats the PSI on the tire?

How do the cross climate 2 all season tire perform on ice?

A lot of people have expressed a three to four mile per gallon drop in fuel economy something you willfully left out yet important.

De ce unele anvelope de la Michelin nu au cuvântul dot?

will it work for a dodge journey 2014?

Major complaint on cc2 is the high rolling resistance. Small cars with 4 or 6cyl engines can loose 10 percent fuel economy. thats over 1,100 in gas over the life of the tire. No free lunch here. Maybe the newer Pirelli scorpion weatheractive will fix this issue.

Hey, I was also looking for a tire for my Crosstrek. Just ordered these crossclimates 2 Getting them put on sunday. Thanks for the video to help me decide Mostly concerned about how noisy they'll be, if at all. Can't find info on that

I wonder if they would hold up on my f150 and in Arizona heat

Please make these in a 255/40-R20

Just bought a set 2018 Acura RDX
