I am not an expert so take my review with the grain of salt. I've been mainly driving Nokian WRG2, WRG3 and WRG4 - I really like Nokian for Canadian conditions. However, I have read many great things about CrossClimate 2 tires and compared to Nokians I can confidently say that the CrossClimate 2 felt better during summer driving. It felt quieter and I felt it had lower rolling resistance than Nokians. I am hoping this will contribute to better thread wear as well. I had a hard time perceiving any significant differenced during winter driving conditions. Both tires were quite good in my opinion.

I was looking for a good pair of all season tyres that would give more security and confidence in UK winter conditions and good traction on cold rainy days. I live in the south of the UK so I do not expect to see that much snow but we do get the ocasional slush on cold mornings and after a few skids on the old Uniroyal rainexpert 3s that were on the car, I've decided to go for the new CC2s based on the user reviews great recent test results. I've had the tyres fitted for only a few hundred miles but I am amazed how confortable and silent these are whilst driving on the motorway. Breaking performance is good and the levels of grip in the dry and wet are really impressive when compared to the old rainexpert 3 tyres. From a subjective driving standpoint, the only drawback that I could find for the new CC2s is that they were only available as an 205/60R16 96V Xl size versus the 205/60R16 92V that are the manufacturer recommend size for my car and whilst driving in town, I need to be carefull whilst going over speed bumps becasue of the stiffer sidewall. All in all, a great all rounder if you can afford it!

I was looking for 'all weather' tyres that would give more security and confidence in UK winter conditions, without sacrificing comfort or noise. Although still early days, I am extremely pleased with how the CrossClimate 2s are performing. I just spent a few days in the Peak District during a time when snow storms had closed a number of roads. My car (FWD only) was able to climb (and descend) some very steep, rutted and icy lanes with barely any wheel slip - it was truly impressive. On dry roads, the driving feel is barely changed from the previous OE tyres (ContiPremiumContact 5) - certainly I cannot find any trade-offs in comfort, control or fuel economy. Motorway noise is impressive - the level seems similar to the OE tyres but the pitch is lower and less noticeable.

Done around 1000 miles now on the CC2s,the ride quality,steering feel and grip have improved noticeably,rough and shoddy UK roads are dealt with easily.Have not driven on them in true winter conditions until recently,l found that the tyre (and car l might add) deal with deep snow,slush and ice confidently without any difficulty or drama..a truly superb all year round tyre.

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 !!
