After just over 2000 miles or use, I have to say that i'm quite disappointed. Dry grip is average at best and wet grip is not anywhere near what I was expecting. The tires don't work when cold or in slightly icy conditions. They also don't work well when its hot. This was my first time trying all season tires and I defo will not do it again. Better off getting a good set of summers and, if you need it, a spare set of winters. The one area I think these tires do well is in comfort. I've done a few long drives with them now and they do soak up the road well. MPG is not good.

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.
