The CrossClimate SUV is Michelin's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire originally developed for Original Equipment use on the Mercedes-Benz GLE and GLS (non-US market). The CrossClimate SUV is an all-weather tire that meets industry severe snow service requirements for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol and is designed to be a one-tire solution for drivers in environments that experience all four seasons, but don't receive sufficient snowfall to require a dedicated winter tire.
The CrossClimate SUV features an all-season compound molded into a highly directional tread pattern with nearly solid transverse ribs for handling stability and dry traction. Wide lateral grooves and open shoulders provide a direct path to evacuate water from beneath the contact patch for hydroplaning resistance, while the bevel-edged tread blocks provide grip on damp surfaces. 3D self-locking sipes create additional biting edges for foul-weather traction, and Emerging grooves in the shoulder help retain confident winter traction as the tire wears. The biting edges combined with the specialized compound deliver the traction needed to receive the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF).
The internal construction of the CrossClimate SUV consists of a single-ply polyester casing supporting two steel belts. A polyamide reinforcement aids in handling performance and provides high-speed durability.
Note: While non-winter tires featuring the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.
El neumático CrossClimate SUV de Michelin pertenece a la categoría: Turismo Para Toda Estación (Crossovers/SUV) y fue desarrollado originalmente para ser utilizado en los Mercedes-Benz GLE y GLS nuevos (no para el mercado de Estados Unidos). El neumático CrossClimate SUV cumple con los requisitos relacionados, a su desempeño frente a nieve severa y es diseñado, para ofrecer una solución a conductores que experimentan las cuatro estaciones del año, pero que, no reciben suficiente nieve para necesitar un neumático dedicado, en su totalidad al invierno.
El CrossClimate SUV posee un compuesto de caucho moldeado en una banda de rodamiento direccional pronunciada con segmentos transversales casi sólidos, para ofrecer estabilidad y tracción sobre superficies secas. Ranuras laterales anchas y hombros abiertos proporcionan un camino directo para evacuar agua por debajo del área de contacto y así aumentar la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning), mientras que, bloques biselados proporcionan agarre sobre superficies mojadas. Ranuras 3D que se entrelazan así mismas, crean bordes adherentes adicionales, para obtener tracción en climas inclementes, mientras que, ranuras emergentes "Emerging Grooves" en los hombros ayudan a mantener una tracción confiable durante el invierno, a medida que el neumático se va desgastando. Los bordes adherentes combinados con el compuesto de caucho especializado, ofrecen la tracción necesaria para recibir el símbolo "tres picos montaña/copo de nieve", 3PMSF (three-peak mountain snowflake symbol, 3PMSF).
La construcción interna del CrossClimate SUV cuenta con una estructura con una capa de poliéster soportada por dos correas de acero. Un refuerzo de poliamida ayuda el rendimiento y proporciona mayor durabilidad para su uso a velocidades elevadas.
Nota: Mientras los neumáticos no identificados para su uso en invierno, pero con el símbolo tres picos montaña copo de nieve, 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake, 3PMSF) podrían proporcionar mayor tracción longitudinal en nieve, que la ofrecida por neumáticos para toda estación (M+S) sin el símbolo 3PMSF. Sin embargo, ninguno iguala la capacidad de un neumático verdaderamente para invierno, en climas con condiciones adversas.

I bought the new Crossclimate SUvs purely for dry and wet performance and they exceeded my expectations... They perform very, very well in wet and in slush...
I bought the new Crossclimate SUvs purely for dry and wet performance and they exceeded my expectations. And they are dead quiet on the highway! On my tire test road, a downhill, decreasing radius, 180 degree highway on ramp, I could get my old front tires, Nitto CrossTeks, to squeal but for the life of me I can't get the CrossClimates to squeal....I don't want to tip over of course. AND, my steering is noticeably lighter.
They perform very, very well in wet and in slush, haven't had the opportunity to test in deep snow but I don't expect all weather rated tires to do well in deep snow. My gas mileage has not improved or suffered, but I didn't buy them to improve mpg. Highly recommended!

I notice a clear improvement in traction (dry and wet), significantly less road noise, smoother ride, better grip on aggressive cornering (no more premature chirping) and generally a more confidence inspiring driving experience...
I swapped out my stock michelin touring all-seasons for this set after seeing glowing reviews. So far I have been extremely impressed. The old michelins were solid, but these are better in every way. I notice a clear improvement in traction (dry and wet), significantly less road noise, a smoother ride, better grip on aggressive cornering (no more premature chirping) and generally a more confidence inspiring driving experience. I look forward to testing their snow performance next winter, but just looking at the tread it's obvious they'll do better than a normal all-season. I have already recommended these to friends and family. So far they are the best tires I've had. Hopefully tread life will be reasonable.

Most customers rate winter traction highly, with many 9s and 10s for snow and deep snow performance. Ice traction scores are mostly 7-10, though a few note slightly lower ice grip (some 5s-6s). Overall, it delivers reliable winter capability for all-season use.

...I'm an aggressive driver, driving mostly highway. In Florida, traffic moves at 80 and above on the interstate. These tires give me great control, and handle rapid changes in speed and direction without problem...
Replaced OEP run flats for this vehicle. To say this was a world of improvement would be an understatement. I'm an aggressive driver, driving mostly highway. In Florida, traffic moves at 80 and above on the interstate. These tires give me great control, and handle rapid changes in speed and direction without problem. Decent braking distance. Excellent wet driving traction, with no hydroplaning unless there's standing water. 17,000 miles on them at this point, no evidence of excessive wear with periodic rotation and balancing. An outstanding tire for the price.

...I drive over 60k miles/year, so hopefully the tread-ware will be better than my last set of Michelin Premiers, which I pretty much hated.
So far, so good. I've been driving in a late-season winter storm the last couple of days, and the tires have performed very well. They go through snow, slush, and snowplow-ridges with zero issues. Glare ice is not so great, but I didn't expect much there, as these tires are not siped. Overall, pleasantly surprised with their snow performance and happy with my purchase.
