When they are new, they are excellent, but after two years and a half and >40k km (profile had ~4mm), the grip on wet roads (only wet) decreased very much. The last road on the wet road was a few days ago when outside was 14-15c.
Before this model, I had the Michelin CrossClimate (XL) and CrossClimate Plus tires on the same car. The Michelin CrossClimate 2 decreased considerably on wet surfaces (2 other people observed this issue with the wet grip).
Previous models were much better on wet grip after 2-3 years.
This week I changed them with Pirreli SF3 XL, but I want to see them after ~2 years and >30k km

Cross climate 2 are great tires, I’ve been really happy with the performance of them. They give great grip in wet & dry conditions & are excellent in snow & ice with zero slippage. They feel really safe while driving, but not particularly fun to drive if you’re looking for that. They are quite & comfortable the perfect all rounder.
Mine lasted 25000 miles on the front axle (front wheel drive car) but the rears have plenty of life left so will probably last 50000 miles on the rear axel. Their performance has be rock solid until around 1mm above the wear line markers when the performance in cornering especially has really suffered just something to be aware of but not unexpected.

Excellent tires in wet and dry very comfortable and quiet will definitely be buying again

The best compromise for the Utah area in the winter

I switched to the Crossclimate 2 from the OEM Primacy and while they aren’t as grippy (as expected) they do way better in the wet and I can drive spirited no matter the conditions with confidence. The efficiency hit wasn’t too bad and so far they’re finally starting to wear so I’m overall happy with it.

Make sure you rotate your tires

Excellent tires, good-ish wet grip, the only problem I experienced with them in the wet, was pulling off at traffic lights, wheel spun a few times, it happen once on a dry day. I feel confident with them on my car, in the rain or ice conditions, definitely not frightened on the motorway in the wet. I'm using them with 20mm spacers, and they do look good. I had them on the front axle of my winter tires, my summer tires are have them on all 4 corners, I haven't really checked the fuel efficiency, I always use E5
They are quiet, no need to turn up my head unit, to block out the noise, even though I do like my music a bit louder than normal (anyway the music blocks out the tinnitus)
They are £145 a corner (that's the cheapest I found them) but they are worth every penny, give them a try

I read a lot of reviews before changing from the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5. I have always been impressed with the Goodyears; however, residing as I do in the country, historically I have previously changed to full winters late autumn, yet have never done so for this car. This has always left me feeling vulnerable in the case of snow.

So, late 2023, the decision is, a set of winters or try the Cross Climate 2's. With an asymmetric wheel set up, this meant Cross Climate 2's on the front and the CC2 SUV version on the rear. I was assured that they are the same tire, so this was the decision.

I went ahead nervous that an excellently handling and fun to drive car would be compromised by an all season, compromise tire. Driving out of the tire shop, I was worried. With the release agent still not worn off, the previously quite weighty steering was light. Very light. Umm. Not sure. 150 miles in the steering was still much lighter than with the Goodyear Ass. but in a refined, pleasant way. In fact, it was better. It was easier to position the car. So was the noise. The Goodyears are not noisy, but the quietness of the CC2's was noticeable.

The CC2's are also more comfortable, however not through soggy sidewalls that lean and move through corners, just more comfortable.

3 months in and I am thrilled by the choice. Even in the heavy rains of this spring grip has been exemplary. Dry handling and braking are excellent. As someone who was very unsure of moving from a performance summer tire to the all season Cross Climate 2's, so far I would thoroughly recommend the change. I will now wait to see how they perform in really hot weather.

Well, I got a BIG (and BAD) surprise from Michelin CC2.
In November 2023 I fitted a new set of them (manufacturing date 07/2022) on my Seat Ateca, and up to a week ago I was really satisfied: excellent behavior on dry, very good on wet, maybe not extremely comfortable but in general very good tires.
Last week I used them in the Alps on snow (both on slush and fresh, non-packed snow) and I was shocked by the low level of grip: LOTS of spinning, LOTS of swerving, in a couple of cases I couldn't even start the car in the desired direction gently uphill (I had to turn the car and go downhill instead...).
And this happened with CC2, which should go as well as mid level winter tires on the snow, according to instrumental tests.
I used to have Vredestein Quatrac Pro on my car, and despite the low score they get on the tests I drove them on packed snow (not happened to drive on slush or non packed snow) as they were on dry!
@JonathanBenson: in your opinion, could this shocking behavior be due to the low mileage I have on the CC2 (3500 km from November)? Do you think they could improve in the future? Otherwise I need to replace them for the winter, or at least buy snow chains...

I have found the tires to be unstable but managable during initial braking, this could be due to the car but i doubt it. Have driven 200 km/h on them no problem.
Snow and ice grip is exellent. No problems going through 15cm snow FWD and high speed snow driving.

Running CC2s as winter tires on my Fiesta ST X and they are absolutely brilliant.
Had 1 drive through some very snowy alpine roads in a snow storm and it went pretty well. The tires do seem to struggle slightly with slush that's been snowed on, but tbf I've never driven a tire that doesn't.
They're fine in the wet, just a little dead in terms of feedback and fairly understeery...
In the dry I was very impressed with how long I could push on backroads before struggling with temperature. Road feedback is pretty good, but that might be from the lighter rims, not just the tires.
Overall I can highly recommend this tire if you don't have to go through heavy snow regularly.
(Don't know about ice, but I'm sure they'd struggle pretty hard)

Ok, I got them with the used car that I bought recently. I was surprised how good they handle dry conditions, I have been driven them for 5000 km so far. The tires I got on the car are from the end of 2022, I think they were driven for like 20-25000 km. Still all of them have 6.5mm tread depth. Finally I thought, no more special winter and summer set. BUT, under the rainy and wet conditions, I noticed dangerous oversteering of rear end of the car. I have to say the tires handle well straight aquaplaning, braking etc, the issue happens when you are taking some curve (eg. You go from a highway to the normal road, taking the long curve) and what I can handle easily at dry conditions, at 50 km/h speed and wet, I would loose rear traction at my rear end. It was really dangerous and unpleasant. Like, I started to doubt my driving skills, then I saw here two similar experiences. Anyway, I would be much more careful under wet conditions and personally, I am going again for separated winter & summer sets. I can't comment for a snow, never driven under these conditions.
