- The Michelin CrossClimate2 has historically been strong in the Grand Touring All-Season category, a consistent, high-level tire that continues to impress. An excellent benchmark to test against, our team has seen significant improvement across the board by its rivals.
Our evaluation used 2022 Subaru BRZ Limited test vehicles fitted with new, full tread depth 225/40R18 tires mounted on 18x8.0 wheels.

We have Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires on both our Outback and Forester.
We get 5-7 feet of snow every winter and live 5 miles from town on a private road, that we have to plow and maintain ourselves.
We drive on the Cross Climate 2 tires year round.
We’ve found them to be Awesome tires on dry, wet, slushy, snowy, logging and forest roads.
We recommend them to everyone
Own these on a GMC Yukon Denali in snowy New Hampshire. Best all season tire I've ever had. Great in all conditions, especially snow. Have about 30,000 miles on 'em with little apparent wear. Was initially concerned that they might be 'noisy' with the aggressive tread pattern. THEY'RE NOT! Don't think they have any significant effect on gas mileage, but if I were concerned with MPG, I wouldn't be driving a 6.2 liter 420 HP GMC Denali, now would I.
I’m after fitting a set of these to my wife’s Subaru forester Diesel, they sound like they were made for the car with its all year round performance. 👍🏻🇬🇧
After one year, I am very happy with this tire.
2018 Lincoln MKZh , 30k on CC2 , I live in the North east and drove year round on these , through snow and rain , best and SAFEST tires in my 60 years of driving , no drop in mpg ( 42 ). Not a performance tire but confident on all road surfaces . Jim Ferere
just coming back here to say after 50,000 miles with these tires they're right around 5:30 second and they still stick like glue in the rain and snow
You promised winter test results in the last video from over year ago ;)
Hello, Mateusz. Take a look at our full test report for the winter test results: bit.ly/45b9DjT.
@@tirerack WOW!!! The word VIDEO was used, and your leave a link for reading an article? This is NOT the 1st time you've done this! Did you run out of money for making WINTER videos due to your location without any snow? If your going to "BEND" the truth, at least TRY to come up with something better!!! WHAT A JOKE!!!
Why aren’t these available for trucks and full sized SUVs? We have a Toyota Sequoia with 270 55R20 and just wondering why not if they are such great tires.
We are sorry to hear that the Michelin CrossClimate2 is not manufactured in your size. We encourage you to try our Tire Decision Guide, which can help you find the right tires for your needs in two minutes or less. bit.ly/2nNOVTQ Please let us know if you have any additional questions!
I wonder the same, tried to get these installed on a customer's F150 only to realize there's no tire that meet's the manufacturer's load index, size, and speed rating for it. I do see that they offer Agilis CrossClimate for trucks/suvs though. It will probably just take time for these tires to come to those type of cars.
@@Cresta-fm8uj Right, we tried looking for them and asked our mechanic as well. In the end we decided on Michelin Defender LTX. Heard good things about it so we went with it.
They are designed specifically for lighter vehicles than trucks (cars and light SUVs). Truck tires are designed for...........trucks. Truck tires have much thicker sidewalls than car tires so they can carry heavy weight and tow heavy loads. Car tires have thinner sidewalls because they do not carry heavy loads and tow heavy loads.
Here is a question . If you mount the cross climate on the left side with the arrow tread pointing forward , which looks normal . If you take that same tire and wheel to the right side , the tread is now what looks to be backward ! Does this affect them ? Is there an inside and outside of these tires ? Or just mount them all facing forward and never change sides ?
They're directional tires. The only way you can rotate them is front to back and vice versa.
It does affect the tire especially when it's rain or snow. You want the direction of the tire to swoop away the rain or snow from the tire in order to prevent hydroplaning
@@miguelbaeza65Thanks for the info Miguel. I live in Phoenix , so snow never happens here and we haven't had any measurable rain since March. My worry is about noise on these , but everybody that owns them says they a very quiet throughout their life My '22 Toyota Venza came with Dunlop PT-20 tires . At 24000 miles the tread is good but these are harsh sounding tires . Again, thanks for the help. I will look into a set of these !
@@zonie1953when I first got them a couple years ago, it was raining and immediately I noticed small humming when driving. It only lasted a couple days. Either the noise was gone or got used to it.
I wouldn't go with these tires if you live in areas where you get hardly any precipitation. Get summer tires instead and the car will respond better.
@@miguelbaeza65 i appreciate your input Miguel . We had Michelin Primacy Tour A/S on our Camry and loved them. I think I will just get them. Thanks again ! 🌵
Do these tires, or any of its variants, have a reinforcing bead protecting the rim?
I have the Cross Climate 2 tires on my Kona N and they’re great tires. Car is still nimble. Grip in the snow is top notch. The FWD Kona drove through 2.5ft of snow like it was nothing. They’re comfortable and don’t make any noise or vibration. I thought they would but don’t. 40psi seems to be the sweet spot for these on the Kona N.
However… These tires can kill you as their limits can be met very fast. If you’re the type who likes to race other cars on the highway from time to time and weave through traffic at 70 or even 100+ mph these WILL put you into a wall if you aren’t careful . They don’t grip well when there’s horizontal load on them (left to right or right to left). Like dashing across 2-4 lanes and then abruptly holding the car straight, this puts horizontal load on the tires and basically pushes the car left or right. You’ll feel it sloshing around. IT’s controllable but not safe for this type of driving.
I got these up to 151mph and it quite literally feels like you’re driving on marshmallows. Very dangerous I do not recommend. Get the all season pilot sports instead if you like to push your car to the limits. For you RWD boys, DONT get these tires and think you can drive “ spirited “ in them, you’ll kill yourself.
I won’t be buying these tires again purely because of my driving style and type of car. I want to make it clear though these tires are AMAZING and honestly are probably the BEST TIRES YOU CAN BUY RIGHT NOW FOR ANY NORMAL PERSON WITH A NORMAL CAR AND NORMAL HABITS. It’s a “do it all tire”. And it goes everything well. Just don’t put these on a performance car. That’s all I’m saying.
I with you for the most part. The issue I always had with these tires is the tread design. The treads are too close together and they design makes the tire literally “scoop up” any debris (including screws and nails) that might be in the road. Ask me how I know lol. Cool concept by Michelin, but far from the best.
@@derekjlightThis is so true. They pickup damn near everything on the road from rocks, pebbles, gummy worms, gum, screws, screw nuts, gummy twizzlers. I’ve picked all these things mentioned out of the groves on these tires.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear these tires didn't live up to your expectations! Next time you're in need of a new set, please reach out. We'd be happy to help you find another option that suits your needs better.
Wow sounds like you need your license taken away from you.
Interesting, I have put those on a model s p90D and model x plaid without experiencing what you describe. And believe me, I drive those performances Teslas hard and they pick up speed faster than your Kona.
I don't get it, at the very beginning of the video, the category of "Grand Touring All Season" tire is mentioned, yet the CC2 is not that, it is an "All Weather" tire.
It falls as a grand touring tire buy how the compound is made. The category of all weather tire is still relatively new to the US.
I've owned the CrossClimate+ (which is terrible), The CrossClimate 2 (which is good) and the Nokian Encompass. The Nokian is THE best in the category in terms of winter traction and tread wear, and it isn't even close.
Well said
@@FSX239 I meant to say tread wear lol.
@@derekjlight .
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I bought 4 for Lexus rx350 2010 but pulled to right side I went 2 different places for alignment still pulling right side, I order another Michelin.
This tire becomes very noisey after the second year of use (Sumer only not used in winter).
What about 0-60 times npt thay it matters that much but i wonder how these effect 0-60 on lets say compared to the tires the vehicle came with
Difference will be negligible on a low powered car.
@@j1j1j1j1j1 300hp, opinions?
300 to the wheels might be enough for traction control to kick in with Crossclimate2 (depending on how the car is launched). Gearing is a much bigger factor here, ie, whether the car can hit 60 in 2nd gear. That's why 0-60 is not the only thing to consider when measuring a car's acceleration. For what it's worth, if you're looking at a more performance oriented all weather tire you can look at the DWS-06+. I ran those things through everything: rainy canyon runs, track days, and a west texas ice storm. Great tires.
@j1j1j1j1j1 3 months ago I ended up purchasing the crossclimate 2s...I love them. I was wondering about this then and if you would have replied then I might have went with theContinental-extreme-contact-dws06-plus
No regrets I still have yet to drive in the snow...my car is not a sports car...lexus gs 350 AWD 303bhp
@@zeuszerp9376 oh! Well do you get wheel spin when you accelerate to 60mph? Why did you ask that question in the first place lol? The Michelins are a great choice. I’m getting some installed on my daily driver next week.
