Just to update my previous review 18 months ago when I first bought these - So far they've done 25,000 miles and have been rotated twice; they are now on about 3mm of tread left. I drive with economy in mind so I don't speed and tend to not corner / brake hard if I can help it; meaning they have had a comparatively easy life on most longer motorway journeys or on local country road trips. The two rears have both been punctured on the same day (must have run over several nails or pieces of glass etc.) and so are about to be replaced by the new CrossClimate 2 version, but I intend to run the two fronts down to 2mm before replacing them with a matching set or the "2", as Michelin are the only manufacturer to design their tread grooves to open up as the tire wears, meaning as long as I slow right down in heavy rain (shouldn't be too often as we're entering the British summer), I should pass the 30,000 mile mark. These tires are excellent - I've been very happy with them throughout the seasons and they inspire confidence in any weather / situation. The car returns decent fuel economy on them and I've never once skidded even in a couple of tight situations in the wet and also in icy / slushy snow. Heartily recommend!

When fresh mounted the steering felt extremely light and a little seeking, but that disappeared within 2 weeks. Comford and noise is excellent, extremely quiet compared to my former Vredestein and Uniroyal summer tires, as if you're driving on a cotton road. Grip on dry and wet is as expected, very good. I really have to toss around the car to feel some understeer. Both wet and dry straight braking also very good. In the Netherlands we haven't had a lot of snow and ice yet this winter, but in light freezing temperatures at night both dry and wet grip was overwhelming much better then on any summer tire I've driven in my life. Hence the reason to choose all-season this time. I can't say much about wear and tear, but over 1100 miles done mainly on city roads and there's still no visual wear. My driving style is mainly easy but I know how to race too. Thanks to TireReviews I choose the CrossClimate because in the test these had the best dry summer performance of all tested all-season tires and in the Netherlands we don't have a lot of winter. The real summer still has to come and I can't wait to find out how they perform.

Bought these tires in May of 2020 and they were fitted on Renault Laguna III 2.0 DCI 127kw automatic with 4 control. I live in Serbia where we have very hot summers and ~mild winters (it's usually 10-15 days of real snow). And all I can say is that they were/are awesome!! Very comfortable and reasonable quiet. The feel during the summer months was almost the same as with the prior Hankook summer tires (just my subjective feeling). They've also replaced Hankook winter tires. Last winter was without the snow altogether. But this winter we had really sudden snow, just when I was in the mountains. Was afraid at first but man o man, they were great. The grip was exceptional, even on mounting roads that were just covered with fresh snow. Now I'm selling the car and I'm thinking of buying CC 2 for my next one, guessing they will feel even better.

Only used in the winter. 1 4000 mls. 0.5mm wear

Since my initial review 18 months ago, I've covered 20,000 miles on these tires on a mix of UK country roads and motorways. 3 tires are at 4mm tread depth and the one remaining has 3.5mm. Therefore I would say that considering these tires are designed to be "safe when worn" (https://www.michelin.co.uk/auto/home-auto/long-lasting-performances), I will replace them at around the 2mm mark, which means cosnidering they were 7mm when new they can be considered as about 60-70% worn - Hence I can expect a total lifespan of just under 30,000 miles from them. I consider this outstanding when most other tires struggle to last much more than half this - which means that Michelin's argument that they are not expensive if used until actually worn is correct, although the initial purchase price does hurt at the time!! There have been a few times during this time that I've had to brake hard and I've yet to activate the car's ABS system - So the grip levels are good enough for me and my eco-driving style for sure! My only criticism of these tires is they are not great on icy roads - vastly better than other cars I've driven on the same roads on the same days fitted with Chinese summer tires mind, but you still have to be careful and take it easy. The CrossClimate2 appears to rate much better in this respect, so there is no question of anything else replacing these. In conclusion, Michelin are miles ahead of the game with these tires and they are worth every penny of their price. Buy with confidence.

Excellent tires with good dry / wet grip and braking. We haven't had any snow so I can't comment on the snow grip but they work well in cold weather. The ride almost seems a bit 'soft' on the tires although there's no lack of grip or steering feedback which makes for a very comfortable ride and I don't notice them being particularly noisy. I went for the CrossClimate+ rather than the CrossClimate SUV for the Tiguan, it is just a jacked up golf after all, perhaps that's why they're quieter and they seem to work well with the car. I've had a few problems towing a loaded horse trailer uphill on wet grass but any road tire would struggle under those conditions and very few SUVs would be used like that anyway, in the normal SUV habitat of tarmac roads and carparks where going off-road means parking on the pavement they can't be faulted. Although they weren't cheap to buy they currently they have 5-6mm tread after 14,000 miles and they don't seem to have lost any grip so they look to be good for 30k miles which makes them good value overall. I would buy again but I can't as they've been replaced by the CrossClimate2 which promises to be even better.

I've used a set of these tires for 4 years and 50,000 miles, I rotate them front to back at every service interval for even tread wear and now have 2-3mm of tread left on them and I am only changing them now as I want the full 8mm of tread depth for the coming winter. Overall I'm delighted with them and I am now buying a set of CrossClimate 2 to replace them. The dry and wet grip with these tires has always been good. I used to fit winter tires for the cold seasons but I have never been stuck in snow with these CrossClimate+ tires. They are very quiet (much quieter than the Bridgestone/Hankook combination I previously used) and I have reduced my running costs as I do more mpg now too. Overall they have been exceptional for what I need them for.

Excellent in dry, good in wet conditions, reasonable performance on snow (unless you go to the mountains daily in winter). The wear is very low, using the tirs for 50.000 km, and they still have more to run.

Way more comfortable than summer tires. Some rattles in my car disappeared on these! Handling a little more 'spongy' than summer on cornering fast. Over 65mph on motorway notice a little more vibration through steering wheel - not much though. Did the job at 26C during summer of 2020. Finally had chance to try in snow early 2021. Amazing - well only ever driven summer tires - actually could stop car and climb hills! Confident to drive in snow for once. Not convinced they are much better than summers on ice though. I've been on summers since March and about to change back to CC+ again, as low temperatures again in Nov for winter. Still one winter left in them. I know they are meant to be all season, but the summers are more fun to drive when warmer. So still switching. Recommended. Although CC2 will be next purchase. Fife, Scotland.

Only done 5 k mls in cold temps, no snow or ice yet. Use cc and cc+as winter tire on spare set of wheels, as used 830 p the same way

Just replacing the two front tires at 34,000 miles (down to 3mm). They have been an excellent tire. Coped well with heat, rain and in moderate snow but a little lacking on hills with significant snow. I was about to switch to full winter tires until I realised that Michelin have updated to Cross Climate 2 so am fitting these. Hopefully, the improvements in snow handling will resolve any issues that I found.

These are entirely decent tires. Good points are wear and general grip. Comfort is decent as are noise levels even though they are not as quiet on rough surfaces. The negatives are aquaplaning resistance is a bit lower than I hoped for but I think it is a trade-off due to the directional tread needing to push all the water out to the sides. The other thing is high speed stability is not as good as tires with grooves running around the tread but the Cross Climate Plus isn't a tire focused for 180km/hr or so on autobahns. They provide decent feedback to ne able to use all the available grip in all conditions and after 2 years and 20000 miles, they still have just under 5mm of tread. I have never had tires last so long. For this reason they are economical to run and I have not noticed a difference in noise or handling characteristics unlike the nasty Federal tires they replaced. I have found they wear evenly but they will wear the shoulders if the tempo in bends is not kept in check.
