Tyre fitted 3 weeks ago just in time for the recent bout of wet, icy and snowy weather. My first reaction was how noticeably more comfortable they are compared to the summer tyres on my Toyota yaris hybrid. In the wet they have significantly more grip particularly when pulling away from a standstill and they were outstanding in the ice and snow.

Travelled many miles on the predecessor version 1 without problems. I believe the version 2 was meant to address wear problems and comes with a deeper tread block. Have not travelled far enough to tell for sure but feels like they will last for ages, however the trade off is a noticeable harsher ride that borders on annoying over uneven surfaces. Still the business on snow and ice though, never puts a foot wrong.

Recently put a full set of these tyres on my A3. They replaced the Michelin Pilot Sport 4's (which lasted for twenty thousand miles/three and a half years).
The Cross Climate 2's are a huge improvement when it comes to comfort and cabin noise. The PS 4's were very crashy on rough roads and they were noisy. The CC's are quieter and so much more forgiving. Time will tell how they perform in the winter months. I would recommend these tyres if you would like a more comfortable ride.

Great choince for relaxed and safe motoring. Only issue is the wet performance, braking and handling, but the grip threshold is very well communicated and linear. The aquaplaning is fantastic, too. Only issue with this tire is snow grip in... reverse! In fact there is almost no grip on that direction on snow/ice, which lead to very unpleasent morning one day. Now I need to plan and choose parking spots carefuly, when in winter conditions. No one mentions this and I think winter/all season tires should be related for both directions.

These are the NOISEIST tires I have ever owned(over 60 years)!!! Definitely would not buy this tire again. Ride is ok. For the price I paid expected a smoother ride. I hope these tires don't last the 60,000 miles they are warranted for.

Fitted these tyres to my RAV4 Hybrid. They were far superior to any previous tyres.

Given 78% while driving a Audi A7 3.0TDi Auto (255/40 R19) on a combination of roads for 32,000 easy going miles
Fitted these 32,000 miles ago based on reviews on this site and others; I haven't been disappointed. I haven't tested handling or wet and dry braking on the limit, but at reasonable speeds, they have always been reassuring and never given cause for worry on ice or snow, They were pretty quiet at first, but as they have worn, they have become a little noisier on some surfaces. However, they are still very quiet on good motorway tarmac. I didn't think they would last for 32,000 miles, but they still have between 3.5 and 4.5mm tread after being rotated once which is impressive. I am selling the car, so no idea how much longer they will last, but until spring wouldn't be unreasonable. A bit more expensive, but worth it in my opinion.

I purchased a set in 2020 for my Seat Leon. The tyres were fitted in April and I was surprised at how good the dry handling and breaking were, compared to the previous all season tyres I have used (Nokian Weatherproof and Vredestine Quatrac). Wet handing is fairly predictable, with some oversteer but easy to correct. Where these tyres excel is in their snow performance. I live in a village that can only be reached by two roads (that are both hills). I was able to drive the car up the steepest of the 2 hills (with some wheel spin), which was a surprise. The ice performance is slightly weaker but you can’t have it all! The other bonus is that the tyres performed just as well in deep snow earlier this year, even though they were down to 3mm. Excellent fuel economy and a strong and dependable tyre in all conditions. Have already purchased a set for my new car and they are being fitted today. I would highly recommend this tyre.

Given 89% while driving a Volkswagen Golf (195/65 R15) on mostly motorways for 35,000 average miles
A great tyre both in dry and wet conditions. Excellent breaking performance in dry, with a predictable understeer in the wet. Center feel and feedback were poor first 5000 miles, but improved drastically.
Even though I live in the Alps we rarely get much snow in recent 20 years. Maybe I've had 5 days of snow in last two years. Never experienced any problems with traction or breaking performance. Handling was ok.
The only major downside: Summer temperatures of above 35°C negatively affected the rubber compound which became hard, negatively affecting the wet grip. Performance in dry is stil great.

The tyres currently sit at 35.000 miles in exactly 2 years.

Stunning tire. Safe under all conditions. Better than my old winter tires in winter. As good as summer tires. Best wear of any tire on this car so far. Absolute recommendation.
