First impressions: amazing dry braking performance! Comfort is impressive as well, really quiet and deals with the road imperfections quite nicely. Curious to see how it performs in the wet and snow in the colder conditions. If it wears nicely, I'll seriously consider fitting a set on my other car and to have one set of always grippy and comfy tires, with the bonus of having nice looking wheels all the time, not only in the summer :)

In terms of driving pleasure, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005s were slightly better, as the balance was much less understeery. However, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is much more confident on the road. The comfort is very high. The rolling noise is okay. By far the most outstanding features are the traction and the braking distance on dry asphalt. That almost goes in the direction of summer tires. Cornering properties in the wet and dry are comparable to the A005. So typical for a very good winter / all-season tire.

This tyre copes with everything I have thrown at it, including deep mud, and wet grass! I live in a rural area, and in the winter the roads get very slippery, the cross climate 2 copes exceptionally well in these conditions. In the dry, they perform very well for a tyre in this class. Will definitely buy again.

I'm not a car expert. Having purchased a 2015 RX450h a year ago after a lifetime of driving underpowered "consumer" vehicles, I've found myself delighted and more interested. My experience is limited yet hope it may be of value here. The car came with two new sets from the prior owner: Nexen NFera RU5 summer tires and Yokohama IceGuard G075, both used at 8000' elevation in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. I live at 5600' where the Great Plains literally meet the Front Range foothills. Our snows are intermittent and almost always melt quickly; in all but the most severe storms the roads are cleared overnight with no glaciation. The CrossClimate2's (hereinafter CC2) came to my attention and as I presume you know are already well documented both technically and experientially in YouTube videos. I privately sold both tire sets and mounted the CC2s in April 2021 during the end of our winter snow season. My prior experiences are driving a '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee, an '08 Honda Civic, and an older Camry and Accord, and drove with both Nexens and Yokos on the RX. I average 7000 miles/year. I don't push things; not a fan of G forces, especially on crowded urban roadways and highways, let along high Rocky Mountain S curves. Here's what I can offer so far: - Comfort/dry: the CC2s ride like ghosts…as if they're not there. Now this is on a Lexus RX that itself rides silently and smoothly. Yet I also feel their enhanced grip compared to the other sets. - Snow/braking: I tested the CC2s in an empty parking lot one night with 4-5" of spring slush. I started at one end and floored it to the middle of the lot in the various drive modes. Zero slippage whatsoever except for 2 merest blips of the traction light. In the middle of the run I braked hard, and as the runs when on, harder. Zero skidding and, assuming that Lexus ABS braking feels and sounds like what I've experienced prior in lesser cars, it never engaged in this testing. I'm completely sold. First, for never having to swap tires, wheels, etc. That's a big time, effort, and money saver. Next, the CC2s with their street-legal snowflake winter designation, stellar personal test performance, and video performance in the Swiss Alps indicates that I ought to expect very secure snow performance even to 8-10" on my 5000 lb SUV.

I have been driving on this set of wheels for a while now and would not recommend them. Grip is rather disappointing on dry roads, actually worse than winter on summer... but slightly better on wet roads. I drive a lot on mountain roads and was caught a few times by surprise about how fast you can lose control. Tread wear is unfortunately quite concerning too as I am now halfway though them. Noise is no concern to me but they are definitely not as quiet as advertised. All in all, I think I will stay away from this particular tire and would not recommend either.

Great touring tyre with very predictable handling characteristics in all weather conditions. The quietest tyre I've ever had with the exception of a few different cement surfaces.

Just bought these about 2000 miles ago and put them on my 2020 Subaru WRX. So far I've done a ton of dry driving and some heavy rain driving. In dry conditions this tire is very grippy and handles the corners very well. In wet conditions the tire is very solid. Hydro sliding wasn't a worry at all during heavy rain thanks to the tire's groove pattern. Road noise was very little to none. The engine noise was louder than the tires themselves. So far I'm happy with my purchase although price could be a sticking point for some. We'll see how they fare in the winter months, but so far they've been worth the investment.

Very impressed so far with the Michelin Crossclimate2 and I can see the improvement over the Crossclimate+ already Grip levels are amazing in all weather conditions, it’s hard to think what else you could want from a tyre It feels very safe and a cut above the rest Quite pricey but well worth the investment - a nice feeling knowing you are safe with the best tyre technology there is !!

After a worn set of Michelin Crossclimate+ I upgraded to the Michelin Crossclimate2 and I am so massively impressed The dry grip is second to none for an all season tyre, the wet grip is definitely up there and I’ve yet to experience Ice or Snow but I’m looking forward to seeing how they perform when the time comes. I will never go back to summer tyres again on any car I own. Noise levels are lower than expected and comfort is amazing One slight drawback is the expense - get your head around that and you won’t regret it !!

Just replaced a set of premium summer tyres with CC2s,the ride and comfort levels are much improved,the tyre is both quiet and refined.Drove through a torrential storm recently with flooded roads with absolute confidence,not tried the tyre on ice/snow but first impressions are of an excellent tyre well suited to driving in the UK.

Night and Day. Driving on regular all seasons for years, then switching to the CC2’s, I was blown away. FWD car handled slush and snow with ease, especially from starting on tricky hills and positions. Quiet and confident dry road feel, and sharp response for quick maneuvers, while coming in under 150 USD

Live at the beginning of a snow belt in Canada and has always swapped tires between seasons. These are truly ALL-WEATHER tires with the design pattern reminds me of the excellent Michelin HydroEdge All Season tires I purchased in 2007 and drove for 7 years on my current 2004 Sienna before it was discontinued (too good!?). On my 2019 KIA Niro (Michelin currently does not produce the size for my van), I replaced the factory Michelin Energy Saver A/S in March 2021 just enough time to catch the last snow fall and to avoid future twice a year tire swapping hassles and unnecessary cost of time and money (Directional tires do require frequent from & back rotation for even ware but I can do that myself) . These tires makes this compact Cross Over hatchback hybrid (I am man enough to call it a small wagon! LOL) feels like driving on my old 98 Accord EX V6 luxury sedan (back than) with MXV 4 tires even in snowy condition. Very grounded/sure footed feel even when turning sharp turns/corners at higher speed in warm/cold/dry/raining/snowing/icy conditions. These tires absorbs a lot of bumps and noise and no longer feel wobbly when cornering. The fuel economy has also increased a bit from average 24km/L on both Energy Saver A/S & X-Ice XI3 to average of 25km/L while I always apply 4psi above the factory recommended pressure level based on 20C ambient temperature. These tires are rated #1 in Consumer Report performance All-Season tires and there a YouTube video on the CrossClimate+ (older model) driving 1,054km in heavy snow through Canadian BC mountains with ease in 2 days. With factory warranty of 100,000km rating I think I will be fine until the next version of CrossClimate becomes available.
