Can't really fault these at all. They were expensive because mine are a slightly odd size made in smaller quantities, apparently, but they're doing a brilliant job. I've checked the fitting paperwork and it's about 8500 miles since they went onto my (fairly heavy) Toyota Avensis estate. Grip in the wet and dry is fantastic. There's a real solidity to the way they bite and hold, even if you tighten your line mid-corner. My road often isn't gritted in the winter but these got me up the hill and off the estate every time I asked, even when the road surface was sheet ice. I had to be careful to avoid wheelspin, but the tires found more than enough grip where summer tires were seeing other cars abandoned at the roadside.

Braking grip is outstanding. My older Avensis doesn't have brilliant brakes but you can stamp on them without causing the tires any headaches. At the limit (which feels strange in an Avensis), the tires are super-progressive. Naturally I'm looking at understeer, but the CrossClimates are very reluctant to give up the ghost in the first place, sliding and regaining grip very predictably when they eventually do.

Marks have to come off because of a relative lack of feel next to a top-drawer summer tire, and also because of a strange 'hissing' sound the tires make under acceleration, but only on smooth surfaces. I noticed it as soon as the tires were swapped and, having long since gotten used to it, I thought it had vanished until I listened for it properly again, and it's still there.

Wear rates are practically non-existent. I'm normally fairly gentle with the car to protect it, but 8500 miles seems to have taken less than 1mm off the fronts. That's astonishing. If that wear rate holds up, I could realistically be looking at changing them because of age before I change them because of wear. My wife has just bought a used B-Max with mismatched tires, and we'll be swapping them for CrossClimates as soon as we can afford to.

I'm seriously impressed with these tires.
I had a set of 4 Crossclimates fitted to my superb 20 months ago and have since covered around 35,000 miles. The fronts still have 4mm of tread left on them and there's no sign of the levels of grip diminishing (as a comparison my car (second-hand) came with a virtually brand new set of Goodyear Eagles on it and they lasted for around 15,000 miles.)

They grip well in all conditions and are especially impressive in mud (I do a lot of outdoor sports so am frequently driving on farm tracks and parking in fields).

I'd buy these again without hesitation.

Great tires overall. I have used these tires for almost 6 months and 15k kms and I habe inly good words ro describe Crossclimate tires. I live in a very rainy area in the North of Spain and i really took advantage of this model's great performance on wet roads.

To be honest, although i have driven on very cold surfaces with them, i have no experience on snowy roads.

Replaced a set of Falcon's on the front and what an amazing difference the cross climates have made. Most notably these tires are so much quieter, more comfortable, especially across pot holes and I'm seeing around a 10% increase in economy. They seem more secure on fast sweeping bends at motorway speeds and hold a line far more accurately that the Falcon's. Unable to comment on winter handling and wear but I hope those atttributes will prove as good as the other positive characteristics. I'm so impressed and am contemplating replacing the rear tires a little earlier than necessary as the increased economy should help pay for the tires.

The tire handled very good in all conditions. I have tried on snow, rain, dry and they are good. I feel safe during driving in all conditions. I have tires from october 2016. I have passed 10000km and depth tread rudesed from 7mm (new) to 6mm. Front tires have some small cuttings (like from excessive slipping, but I am very easy on accelerator) but nothing sirious. I will see how they will handle summer temperatures (which are going to 40C in my place).

Been driving Crossclimates 225/55/17 for around 1.5 years on Audi A6 Allroad C6 (weights 2 tonnes). Extremely quiet, excellent grip on both wet and dry, hot or cold. It's completely irrelevant if temperatures are below zero or above 35 oC. Crossclimates also perform well on snow, but don't expect wonders. Since roads and highways are 99% clean and salted during winter season, all I cared about is grip on wet and cold and these tires never failed me. The only problem I found so far is aquaplaning at higher speeds.

Also, another thing worth mentioning - they don't wear fast, I swapped front and rear tires after 1.5 years of driving and my plan is to drive them for at least another 1.5-2 years.

itted 4 to a 3 series BMW , 2006, drive a mixture of cross country in rural Ireland and city driving.
Fantastic in the wet and rain soaked motorway.
limited snow driving this winter, only 1 day, but i drove as normal almost.
lots of ice last winter and the car gripped as best as it could in the bends on ice, and i never lost control .
Bearing in mind RWD and ice are not a good combination.
Excellent in muck and grassy verges, and overall, very impressed.
Have covered over 30k Km and still look like new.

Bought two tires for the front after my Continental premium contact 2 tires needed replacing!
The Michelin crossclimates are the best tires I have driven in. Way better than the Continentals, better grip, good Road holding and very quiet! Haven't driven in the wet yet but I'm certain they will excel there as well.

Driven 30,000 miles on new set - 6mm tread on rear and tad over 4mm on front - Astra 1.7cdti. Reason for score of 8 on grip, road feedback and handling is I've never really pushed them cornering etc. However, i feel more confident using these, the wear is just as good as Michelin Energy I've had before. I live in East Anglia, so not lots of hills, bad roads, mainly flat. which must help on wear. For the price they are good value, will continue to buy.

changing from Michelin pilot sports to these, I didn't expect much difference - but there was. It's almost like these tires were made especially for my car! sure footed, quiet and very long lasting too - the pilot sports were changed twice on the front of what is well known to be a heavy car in 20,000 miles whilst the front tires have done a shade under 16,000 miles and still have life in them yet. I will definitely be putting another set of these onto my car when the time comes.
for larger cars, these are a must - buy with confidence!

These have been Excellent on cold wet early mornings on Country roads and Dual carriageways, quiet running with minimal wheel spin on quick acceleration from slimy country junctions, Braking is very good on wet and dry roads. will buy again.

Perfect, Nothing better, Outstanding. I work in remote areas and normally have always had a 4x4 jeep or car. I have had two of these on the front of a Volvo V50 and they amazingly good. So much so they have been replaced with the exact same again after trying Sunny 3830 Snowmaster which are horrific.
