It was very close that I bought the "old" CrossClimate for this season as I don't like my factory OEM's too much but they are still new so I hesitated... and I was being cheap as well. For once it paid off and now I know what's going under my car next summer.
I've been running the original Crossclimates ever since they came out. The secret sauce is that the compound is actually a summer tire compound, BUT the thread pattern is a all season/ winter tire combo and somehow Michelin made it work. 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
@@michaelshane1979 Exactly, it has better grip on wet but less on dry, last longer and quieter tires. The specs of the speed shows how the stiffness and speedrating of the tires change too. W tires are stiffer, noiser, gripper, but wear faster. about 20% less. But if you want summer tires feel, the older + is better on this respect. Newer on with H and V rating, is definitely comfier, more cushion .
The vredestein quatrac is similar to this but much cheaper. Haven’t had it in the snow yet, but it grips the road extremely well and goes through deep puddles like they’re not even there
I drove my x ice 3 tires year around in Minnesota for 5 years. Seemed to work fine every winter so I just never changed it out. Sold the car with those same tires and still had plenty of tread. Lol
2 is quieter, last longer 60k warranty, better in wet. + is better in dry and better grip in cornering, more summer like than Crossclimate2 and cheaper but only 50k warranty tread. Just like when Crossclimate + came out, the crossclimate is sold for cheaper price until it is all gone.
I just puchased the crossclimates and im swithing from bridgestones potenza. I usually run Summner tires all year long and drive my jeep when it snows for the two weeks a year but im super excited for these crossclimates.
I'm switching from Potenza to cross climates 2 as well!!!! How do you like them 6 months later? Potenzas had amazing grip but I just couldn't stand the noise or lack of any comfort ..felt like driving a forklift lol I get my cc2's installed this sat!
I’m sure the closeup you showed the tyre is on the wrong way around.. the pattern is supposed to be running forward, not backwards and it’s clearly the front wheel you’ve shown as it’s out on an angle
I double checked what you said. At first I thought you were correct. But nope, it is on the correct way. Slow it down and watch it again, the front of the vehicle you will see.
Lotta tire squeal. What were your psi set at? I had to set psi at 40 on my MDX (recommended 37) to get rid of squeal and spongy feeling. I've had the CrossClimate2 since last December and they've been great, but like I said, gotta increase the psi a bit.
I really wish Goodyear hadn't discontinued the TripleTread tire line. A heads-up match between these two would be interesting. For the record, I've had 5 sets of TripleTreads across 3 cars, with the last set of all of them having clocked 84k+ miles on the road, and still going. They were an amazing tire in all 4 seasons across NJ and PA, but now that they're gone these Michelins have me looking hard at them as my next tire investment.
Can’t decide between these and the standard all season tire, the Continental TrueContact Tour. Both have their upsides. The Continental might be better suited for my needs and my Camry.
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
From what I’ve read, the Nokians brake better in ice, Michelins handle better in wet. I have had the WRG3 & 4s and they’re great. I would pick the Michelins if you have more wet weather than ice/slush. Nokians if you drive regularly in sub freezing and icy road conditions. Either should work well, it’s just a slight performance edge in one season vs another.
@@LeftenantMalachi CC2's are better in wet and dry The WRG4 and now 5s are slightly better in snow/ice. But both do a heck of a job however it really depends where you live im in the rustbelt and went with CC2's
About mid August we should have them ready to rock! This will however be "phase 1". Michelin will be releasing more sizes in phase 2, which will be Q1 of 2021.
I purchased a set of crossclimate 2 tires for my 2016 Subaru Forester. The ride is smooth and quiet, and handles very nicely on snow covered roads. I’ve only had them for less than a week, but I’m very impressed.
Mine roared like hell, swapped out for Continental Pure contact LS for summer and Continental Viking 7 Contact for winter, as there is no tire that will excel in winter and summer, physics wont allow it I'm not a Continental fanboy either I'm 56 and always used Michelin for summer and Nokian for winter I don't know why more people don't run dedicated winter tires, as it cost the same, as collectedly they will last as long as buying 2 sets of all season tires, only extra cost is those beautiful black steel rims for winter, lol There covered in muck and slop most of the winter anyway, so who cares what they look like The great thing is if you wreck one , it's only 60 bucks to replace and they all look pretty much the same, and you don't have to try matching a alloy wheel, good luck with that, been thee done that You can also minus size, saving money and better ride over bumps, also if you slam the wheels into a curb or huge pot hole hidden under the snow, the steel rim and tall sidewall minus size tire takes most of the damage, not the suspension Also you get a free full size spare, the winter tire in the trunk for summer, and the summer tire in the trunk for winter I am comparing the full size spare tire idea to a donut And you can go safely at highway speeds for thousands of miles, instead of crawling at 10 mph under the speed limit bracing for someone the ram you up the poop shoot, lol, Or until the donut blows up and flies into a million pieces at about 50 miles down the road , as they get to hot Only took me 56 years to figure this out Great video
I love nokian hakkapeliitta, still unbeatable for winter and is still the best dedicated winter tire for safety.... I always have dedicated tire for each season especially in Canada where winter is unpredictable.. I will be buying summer tire and I don't know if I will buy this Michelin Cross Climate 2 for it's good wet traction and Hydroplaning resistance...
Pirelly Cinturato All Season SF 2 can compete with theis. I am just curious which one is better. I bought Pirelly for a Golf. Looking forward to get it delivered. Usually Michelin has problems with ice, like tyre has no grip on ice whatsoever. Not as bad as Brigestone EVO, but... Really hope they fixed it on a new model. Prior the new models, GoodYear Vector 4 Season Gen 3 could beat them all (if you don't mind that it's a bit more noisy), but now, it's getting more interesting to see what the new ones are capable of.
Can someone actually just tell the honest to God truth on these tires on an SUV like the Dodge Durango in the snow??? I have the Michelin Premiers now do they perform better than those??
Not test in wet and not test in snow and/or ice. So only marketing. Michelin pay you so good. If i want a tyre to dry i buy others dry tyres in market better than this all session. This not is a review only marketing. One review is drive on wet and snow too because rhe people buy this kind of tyres all weather situations not only dry.
Don't know anyone on planet earth that cares what tires are like in dry conditions except race car drivers, People buy expensive tires to perform during wet conditions.

Just got the crossclimate 2. Damn these are good. Can’t wait to try these in the snow ❄️
I like the looks most of all and the fact that they drive as well as you say they do AND have a 60k warranty seals the deal!
I push these tires to the limit and they dont fold lol. Its insane and fun. Its like a new car again. Definitely worth the shekels.
I’m laughing watching him go around that roundabout like that. Best tire review

How is crossClimate 2 compared with Premier A/S, especially in comfort and noise part?
Cool. Just ordered a set for a 2006 Toyota Matrix 4WD. They will replace Michelin Premiere A/S tires which are excellent.

The traction UTQG rating on the CC2 went down from A to B. The speed rating also dropped from W to H or V
@@michaelshane1979 hmmmmm
@@michaelshane1979 So what's better about it?
@@steved2988 I think they went with longer mileage on the CC2 but at the cost of traction and the speed rating

What best winter tire with winter coming up? We all know the best time to buy snow tires is the summer.
Valid point! I'll put it on the list!
But then you can’t test it till the winter
if you can find them
This is a legit scientific review. Best on TH-cam so far. Well done fellas 👍
I drove my x ice 3 tires year around in Minnesota for 5 years. Seemed to work fine every winter so I just never changed it out. Sold the car with those same tires and still had plenty of tread. Lol
Cross climate 2 vs cross climate plus? Which one would you recommend?
2 is quieter, last longer 60k warranty, better in wet. + is better in dry and better grip in cornering, more summer like than Crossclimate2 and cheaper but only 50k warranty tread. Just like when Crossclimate + came out, the crossclimate is sold for cheaper price until it is all gone.
According to Michelin, the + wears faster but saves fuel better. The 2 wear longer but decrease fuel efficiency. Performance is almost identical.
Thanks. I am going to get these tires. They are expensive though.
But they are worth it! 🙌

How do you like these tires?
Looking that the Crossclimate 2 for my 2019 Chrysler Pacifica limited (P245/50R20. 102 V). How would you rate these vs the Michelin PrimacyTour A/S?
I have these tires and are the best ones I bought so far

@Troy Rayan i would suggest flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
@Jesus Rodrigo Yea, been using FlixZone for since april myself :D
@Jesus Rodrigo Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it!
Would like to have seen the noise levels at highway speeds, I really like my current tires until they hit 60+ and my ears start melting.
How many miles do you have on the tires? I heard once you get 1500 miles it stops in someones review. Curious if that is true or not.
More or less the best tire out there. It's just a pity they don't have a thick rim guard. I buy only tires with such a rim protection sidewall.
I mean it's Michelin my guy! Thank you for doing tire reviews.
Any time!
I just got these tires and it feels like my car has new sneakers.
Do it again, but for Winter. I am thinking of getting them, but have my cold weather reserves
Me too. Central Oregon, snow, ice, some rain.

Michelin actually makes Goodyears and bf Goodrich’s

Are they any better the touring tires off-road?
I’m sold.
Pretty sure the tires are rotational and the one u showed on ur car is backwards...👀
That camera angle was from behind the wheel, not in front.
@@loyalpatriot9747 wrong try again...the front wheel is turned n the the rotatation is the wrong way CLEARLY🙈
And there all weather not all season but thats me just looking for split ends 😂😂😂
Late to the party, but it look like is mounted right at 4:20
With the vehicle you used for testing are you using the OEM size tire? Or using something in a different size?
A little bigger than OEM!
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

I want to see CC2 comparison to a legit snowflake winter tire.
but how much are they?
So… how’s the winter performance…? That’s what everyone wants to know.
Rides great in the winter!
Well actually I was looking for dry handling tests because most tests concentrate on snow and winter performance.
Cross Climate 2 or Nokian WR G4 ??
From what I’ve read, the Nokians brake better in ice, Michelins handle better in wet. I have had the WRG3 & 4s and they’re great.

i was thinking the same thing! installed wrong and all. smh.
CC2's dont come in my size and I heard they're on backorder. I had to special order the CC +'s. They must be good tires.
how do you like them?? I'm getting them installed this Saturday
It better be good these tires cost me a $1000
You got a bargain. I was quoted 1360$ on 255x40x19.
Does the Michelin x ice grip better than the Michelin cross cllimate
In snow yes, dry conditions? No
Michelin is the best compounds on the planet.

do you know if they’ll come with newer version of the SUV version as well?

They are very quiet, even with the aggressive tread pattern.

It's should be called all roundabout tire
You forgot to mention road noise.

There covered in muck and slop most of the winter anyway, so who cares what they look like
The great thing is if you wreck one , it's only 60 bucks to replace and they all look pretty much the same, and you don't have to try matching a alloy wheel, good luck with that, been thee done that
You can also minus size, saving money and better ride over bumps, also if you slam the wheels into a curb or huge pot hole hidden under the snow, the steel rim and tall sidewall minus size tire takes most of the damage, not the suspension
Also you get a free full size spare, the winter tire in the trunk for summer, and the summer tire in the trunk for winter
