Were very grippy and comfortable the first year with 15k miles. After that, they got progressively worse. Grip started to go a and noise was going up every the month. We're now at 50k miles and the fronts need replacing. Not only because the thread is almost gone, but it's rock hard and full of cracks. The rears still have enough thread on them, but are also very hard and cracked. Manufacturing date is mid 2016. TL;DR: started good, went downhill fast after a year. Dissapointing tire.

Very good all season tires, with market emphasizes on summer performance. Michelin approach sacrifices a bit of winter behavior comparing to Goodyear or Nokian all-season, yet it is remarkable in terms of majority of the year performance. Don’t get me wrong though, it is by far not incompetent in winter conditions, in slight winter or when it just got a bit chilly with frozen tarmac it is just wonderful. Taking into account climate changes and the fact that in continental Europe in majority of places snow is becoming a rear anomaly rather than usual factor, Crossclimate+ is a great product. These tires are comfortable in terms of noise as well as absorbing vibrations (even despite most sizes are made in Extra Load spec) and this withstands the test of time (running them 4th year currently). They are not the most precise in terms of handling characteristics but it may be about the non-sporty size I’m using. Their winter performance is enough if you expect retaining maneuverability when a bit (even quiet a lot) of snow falls. On flat surfaces it doesn’t skid that much even in 15cm snow, breaking is also surprisingly good in such conditions. The actual difference between the proper winter tire and Crossclimate+ is easily noticeable when you try to start at an angled surface full of snow. In such conditions it requires a bit of a talent to continue a commute but it isn’t impossible. For causal, city driving it is definitely worth a try. Especially in smaller, less powerful cars.

These tires are awesome. For me, they are like magic. Almost as good as Primacy 4 in summer but with traction and grip in snow conditions. I usually go skiing and these tires really make me feel confident on snow. I will never drive summer tires up to the mountains again. Thank you Michelin, this is a great product.

Original Michelin Primacy 3 (AO), had done a good 20,000 miles with a few rotations to even out the wear, but were beginning to loose grip on cold mornings and were down to 2-2.5mm. So with winter on its way, and plenty of research on all-season tires, it took the plunge and ordered some CC+. I have only had them on for a couple of weeks, but the wet/dry grip is very good, especial as it has been cold weather. They seem to do ok with water clearing, have had roads with heavy surface water, no issue, and some big puddles, again no issue. Big disappointment is the noise. Tire shop sent me on my way with 36/36psi front/back, but there was a significant rhythmic drumming/humming from the tires, which increased pitch with speed, and got much worse on corning. Checked the manual which suggested 41/38psi for lightly loaded, 41/44psi for heavy loaded, on XL M+S tires, so increased to 41 all round. Noise improved, and i can't notice it on the back tires any more, but still on the front. Increased the front so now on 44/41psi, which made a fractional improvement. I have taken the car up to speed (110) to see if there was an issue with alignment, or balancing but all seemed fine. No vibration, no pulling on cruise, acceleration or heavy braking. There now appears to be a small amount of premature rounding wear on the leading edge of the outside block, which would typically be a result of under inflation. But as i am at the very max that the manual suggests, i don't want to put any more air in.

These were fitted to my BMW 3 series by the lease company as it is their policy. The previous tires - Mitchelin Primacy 4's were excellent in the dry and wet so when I changed to these cross climate tires I disappointingly found that I could no longer lean on the tires the same way in corners, making progress slower and less fun. On the positive side I did notice in very heavy rain that the car was less likely to aquaplane at Motorway speeds and also there was less road noise with these cross climate tires.

The CrossClimates were fitted to my Vauxhall Zafira diesel front and rear and they lasted 4 years and 56k miles with tread still remaining on all 4. So you can tell I am a slow driver. Had the same tires on the previous Zafira . Just now (Dec-19) had 4 new CrossClimate+ fitted. I am not a fast driver but I always felt confident with these tires in the dry and especially in the wet and snow. Quiet, hard-wearing and good fuel economy too. What's not to like. Much better than the original tires supplied on the car from new (I did not record the brand, they lasted 28k) and also better than Michelin Energy which I used to use on our cars.

Just bought Michelin Crossclimate +
Massive improvement over the Goodyear Efficient Grip (Summer Tires) they replaced. Much quieter, car felt more planted on the straights and less understeer in the bends.
They were a lot more usable than the Goodyear Ultragrip 9 snow tires of winter which never made the car feel that good in snow and general winter driving in the cold and dry.
Wet grip was a vast improvement and stopped really well in an emergency, when previous tires wouldn't have.
Been fine on frosts down to -5c.
Snow due in the next couple of weeks, quietly confident after watching reviews.
A little concerned about snow braking as there are hardly any test reviews out there.
So far so good, update due after the snow.

This tire is interesting, performed very well the first year, even on snow.
Then the second year it transformed completely, it is practically useless.
Also dissapointed at he uneven wear, which results in droning and discomfort. Will not buy again.

I have 195/65/15 XL Michelin crossclimate + tires on my VW caddy work van for the last 14 months ( August 2018) almost 47000 miles. Also had the first crossclimate tires on when they came out first. I can't rate these tires for this size high enough for both wet, dry and snow handling.
Last year in August 2018 I bought a 2012 Audi a6 avant when the tires needed changing in October 2018 I put on a set of 225/55/17 XL, crossclimate cause of past experience. We had very little snow in that winter but quite dry and often wet at times. A slight bit noisy tire but could live with that, dry grip was good, damp road grip was ok, but as for very wet roads with puddles Aguaplaining was a nightmare.
The car was not in control very dangerous, the only way you were in control was doing 20 to 30 mph.
Motorway driving in the rain was dangerous if you came across surface water. I am disappointed to say that I will not be putting another set on the audi, shame cause I thought I had a reliable tire for all year round back to the drawing board for the car for tires, but the work van will keep on it.
And before anyone asks yes traction tire pressure, was checked and perfect, just could be a wider tire on car but 225 tires are pretty normal size for today.
That's my view on Michelin crossclimate tires from a high mileage ireland driver. 16/10/2019.

Very good in the snow. Believe it or not, it made my Golf MK6 feel like a 4x4 at times - I could literally drive over snow when we had the Beast from the East a year or so ago.

No major complaints. Handles great all around. Last for a long while, too. Only thing I will say that’s a negative is that they tend to take a while to slow down on dry roads which means you need to hit the anchors sooner or harder. Not such a bad thing, though, very responsive.

I drive a Subaru XV. Two years and 34,000 miles later, the tires still have several months of life in them. My vehicle is used both for both commuting and for work and driven on motorway, urban and rural roads on a daily basis. In comparison with the Subaru specified Yokohama Geolanders, the cross climate has superior ride comfort, reduced tire noise inside the car, much better grip in the snow and ice. The only negative being that handling is slightly inferior.

I rotate the tires every four or five months and have an annual four wheel alignment check carried out so to conclude, the Subaru symmetrical all wheel drive system paired with the Michelin Cross Climate tires make a formidable combination.

I used to run summer tires and seperate steel wheels with winter tires. Typically Bridgestone summers and Nokian winters.

Last few years I decided to give the CrossClimate a run, and nearly 2.5 years and 16k later, I think the CrossClimate tires are perfect for N. Ireland weather. We have lots of wet weather, some snow, and plenty of ice.

Dry handling is perfectly fine, no problems with confidence, as is usual with Michelin.

Having just changed the car, I will likely be getting CrossClimates fitted in October/November to replace the factory fit Nexens.
