In my 60 years of driving this is by far the best all around ( all weather ) tire I have experience with . I was amazed how it handled snow conditions here in the Northeast this last winter . This tire is worth it if you value your life on the highway .

Very predictable handling in all weather conditions. Excel's in wet and will not hydroplane when driven to road conditions. Slight increase in highway gas mileage. Good in snow and ice but not as quite as good as dedicated snow tires. Quietest tires I've ever had.

After many months of shopping around, I thought I'd give these tires a try. Really expensive, but I think you get what you pay for! These are the best tires I have ever had in my 32 years of driving. The look of them alone is almost worth the price. They are awesome in the snow. Road noise is minimal, and the grip on dry pavement is second to none.

Fitted onto a RAV 4 6 months ago. In the dry they are fine and brake fine however the feedback is not there. A Rav 4's steering is vuage but you can judge were the car is going but that is it. You know where the car is going and it is gripping but this tire is not a Goodyear F1 Eagle Asymmetric 5 Ultra high performance tire though. For the every day driver this tire is perfect. For the wet, the CC2 are again really good. The directional tire tread helps disperse water away to prevent aqua plaining. However, this maybe related to my car but it does throw up a lot of spray and covers the rear of the car quickly. This maybe a Rav 4 design or the CC2. In terms of wear, I did not check them when they were new but on the other tire reviews tests they should come with 7mm new and they are on between 5.6 and 6.1 mm. This is front and back and with 1 tire rotation after 6000 miles. In terms of comfort if the tire is on a rough patch of road it is really noisy in my rav 4 but that could be down to the little amount of insultation in the car and with bumps you generally dont feel them but you do hear them. Since I have had the CC2 they have dealt with snow once and it was about half a foot deep. They handled this really well given it is a summer bias all season tire and not a winter bias all season tire or a full winter tire. As the tire wears the grooves are meant to open up and give similar performance as the tire wears down. I will review this in due to course to see if performance drops off or stays similar to new. I have not tested on ice so I cannot comment on this. Would I buy again? Yes but only with a black circles with an offer code. I paid £135 per tire and given the fuel and wet ratings are A for rolling resistance and B for wet grip which is better than the Vredstein Quatrac Pro and the Continental All Season Contact I was tempted to buy. The CC2 is similar in price and has better rolling resistance but also seems to be the best on the dry, wet and snow from recent tire testing. The Vredstein Quatrac Pro seems to handle the dry and wet better than the CC2 from test results but that is all well and good until you have 3mm in the winter time with snow, this is when you want the best tire performance. If the tire lasts for as long as it should and given all of the performance it has minus the handling I would buy again.

Thanks to this video review and Michelin releasing the CrossClimate 2 last October (2021) in Japan, I finally bought them and ... nothing special, just feels like normal/summer tires. Tested them in the snow in the mountain, they just works perfectly. I went slow for my first time, it was still I joy to drive. When it happened it had to try the summer tires in the snow, even 3mm of fresh snow on 2-3% incline it worked (reminder: when summer tires). So, I'm even happier to have the same summer feelings with the CrossClimate2 and be able to go to the mountain when them.

It's exceptional! I'm a Traveling Acute Hemodialysis Nurse and goes to different hospitals to treat patients regardless of the weather outside.. Bought a new set of CC2's from Costco just before a major snow storm hit the midwest 2/2022. I got Michelin Defender LTX tires on all my 3 cars except the 2020 Camry Hybrid FWD which came with Firestone FT140 which was terrible in snow and slush in my IMHO. This CC2 tires rocks! handles way better than my Defender LTX..forget about the FT140. Traveled 60 miles that night on a freeway and unplowed inner roads with mixed snow and slush at with no problem at all while other vehicles got stuck. I highly recommend Crossclimate2 in snow and wet driving. Looking forward to test it in hot weather.

My bought the Crossclimate 2 back in early December. I was doing research for an all season tire a few months prior of purchasing and came up with this tire. I learned that in Europe their all season tires are way different than the all season tires that we get in the USA. I found out that we do have all season tires that are European spec in the US but they're placed into a different category of tires that are called all weather tires because they're rated for severe snow. So I bought the tires and when it came for installation date, it was raining and temperatures were in the 40°F. After installation was done, I noticed a huge difference between the Michelin and the Continental tires i had before. I know i can't compared a worn tire vs a new tire, but if i remembered, the Continental tires were good for gripping on the rain when new but not as much as the Michelins. Only issue I had with the Michelin tires was that they were a bit firm and noisier than the Continentals. Next day roads were dried and I couldn't hear a single road noise coming from the tire. So my guess was that due to being a directional tire you will hear more road noise when wet. But the road noise is not too annoying like an off-road tire or traditional directional tires. The firmness of the tires eventually wore off after a few weeks of using it. Handling has been excellent, but my car being a FWD, you can't really push it too much because it'll understeer and since it's winter, the rubber won't handle it well if it was summer. In mid January and early February we got a few rounds of snow, about a couple inches each round. The tires did great on the snow by having so much grip. Just a few days ago (2-Feb-22) my area got hit with 8" of snow and my car has been cruising along in deep snow like I'm driving on a normal road. The number of vehicles on the roads where I live use all season tires (US spec) and AWD. Sure AWD can get you going from a stop, but handling and braking is what makes tires handle snow and not the vehicle. I passed trucks, SUVs, crossovers, sedans, basically any drivetrain available because they were struggling to get grip on a good amount of snow on the road. I've been braking like what i usually brake on a normal road and the ABS hasn't been working overtime like my previous tires. The ABS has been used a few times, but only if I'm braking like a jerk (hard braking). Overall it's been a great tire so far this winter. I'm excited what the tire can do in the summer. Highly recommend this tire for any season.

Got them fitted right before a 150km long drive thru severe snow storm down from 350m above sea to 1100m. Temperatures ranged from 0°C to -5°C. Dry road to wet road to sludge to snow covered roads. What definitely stands out is snow traction. Very smooth running and extremely quiet in the first 500km. Hope they will stay like that. Only one negative point: Fresh, they only have 7mm thread depth. Not good in countries with a legal requirement of 4mm in winter conditions.

I am not an expert so take my review with the grain of salt. I've been mainly driving Nokian WRG2, WRG3 and WRG4 - I really like Nokian for Canadian conditions. However, I have read many great things about CrossClimate 2 tires and compared to Nokians I can confidently say that the CrossClimate 2 felt better during summer driving. It felt quieter and I felt it had lower rolling resistance than Nokians. I am hoping this will contribute to better thread wear as well. I had a hard time perceiving any significant differenced during winter driving conditions. Both tires were quite good in my opinion.

I was looking for a good pair of all season tires that would give more security and confidence in UK winter conditions and good traction on cold rainy days. I live in the south of the UK so I do not expect to see that much snow but we do get the ocasional slush on cold mornings and after a few skids on the old Uniroyal rainexpert 3s that were on the car, I've decided to go for the new CC2s based on the user reviews great recent test results. I've had the tires fitted for only a few hundred miles but I am amazed how confortable and silent these are whilst driving on the motorway. Breaking performance is good and the levels of grip in the dry and wet are really impressive when compared to the old rainexpert 3 tires. From a subjective driving standpoint, the only drawback that I could find for the new CC2s is that they were only available as an 205/60R16 96V Xl size versus the 205/60R16 92V that are the manufacturer recommend size for my car and whilst driving in town, I need to be carefull whilst going over speed bumps becasue of the stiffer sidewall. All in all, a great all rounder if you can afford it!

I was looking for 'all weather' tires that would give more security and confidence in UK winter conditions, without sacrificing comfort or noise. Although still early days, I am extremely pleased with how the CrossClimate 2s are performing. I just spent a few days in the Peak District during a time when snow storms had closed a number of roads. My car (FWD only) was able to climb (and descend) some very steep, rutted and icy lanes with barely any wheel slip - it was truly impressive. On dry roads, the driving feel is barely changed from the previous OE tires (ContiPremiumContact 5) - certainly I cannot find any trade-offs in comfort, control or fuel economy. Motorway noise is impressive - the level seems similar to the OE tires but the pitch is lower and less noticeable.

Done around 1000 miles now on the CC2s,the ride quality,steering feel and grip have improved noticeably,rough and shoddy UK roads are dealt with easily.Have not driven on them in true winter conditions until recently,l found that the tire (and car l might add) deal with deep snow,slush and ice confidently without any difficulty or drama..a truly superb all year round tire.
