Michelin  CrossClimate SUV

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!

These are probably the best tires I've ever purchased. We had a very rainy spring and the tires were excellent - no hydroplaning at all. I felt complete control in heavy rain conditions.

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.

Excellent tire, worth the wait (backordered), improved the cars ride 100% especially through snow!

I had these tires installed on December 12, 2019. Living in West Michigan over the course of the past three weeks I have driven with them in slush, hard packed snow / ice, 60 degree dry sunny weather, heavy rain, and as of today, 6 inches of powdery snowfall. So far they have been the best tires I have owned. They are definitely better than the Yokohama's that were on my truck when I bought it that had zero traction if there was any moisture on the ground and the temperature dropped below 35 .

The biggest surprise so far has been how well they have handled in deep snow and hard packed snow. I like to get a good feel for my tires responsiveness in a semi controlled setting so I know how they will act in an emergency. I have hammered the gas, slammed on the brakes, and taken corners a bit harder than I normally drive while on some isolated back roads just to see if / when the tires would break traction. The only time I had any issue with traction when accelerating was from a dead stop on ice, and then only briefly. Like any tire, if you are in deep slush you may get pulled by the ruts a little bit, but it was easy enough to turn out of the ruts and I never felt like I lost control due to the tires themselves. Hard braking on both deep snow and hard pack has only caused the ABS system to engage briefly.

Driving normally I have had nothing but great responsiveness from the tires and I haven't noticed any loss of traction while accelerating, braking, or cornering.

For the first 100 miles or so there was a slight hum but there is very little road noise now. My wife has even commented on how quiet these tires are. She's also noted that she expected to feel a lot more impact from the road (potholes and the like) given the tread pattern but she's been very pleasantly surprised at how little you really feel.

I will try to update as I get a little more mileage on the tires - but so far I have no complaints!

All around better tire than OEM selection. Much quieter, significantly better in wet and light snow

My auto mechanic son recommended Tirerack.com as it provides lots of detail and comparisons for choosing the perfect tire. I've had Michelin Latitude Tour & Premier in the past, but these Michelin Cross Climate tires are by far the BEST tire I've put on my vehicle! The v tread has phenomenal grip & makes handling in WI snow/icy conditions a breeze (main reason why I bought them), dry - great control, wet- great control/no hydroplaning, noise - very quiet, comfort - soft ride. The price is acceptable for the quality, along with Michelin's good deals. Tirerack.com delivered the tires directly to me in two days. I am very satisfied with the purchase and plan on researching tires on this website again for another vehicle. Thank you, Tirerack.com and Michelin!

I live in northeast PA and these tires are just great on my Audi Q5 SUV. Much better overall than the Continental Cross Contact LX that came off. I'm impressed with the dry handling, feels like the Q5 is on rails. The snow traction for the PA winters with this tire is a WOW, great traction, handling, and stopping. There is just slight noise, less than the Continentals, and the ride is smooth. I will buy these gain.
No complaints at all. This tire just does everything right for my Q5.

Excellent tires.
Went on a 2500 mile road trip from Chicago to Colorado in December right after installing the tires.

Excellent traction on both dry and wet surfaces. Both straight and corners. The car goes exactly where you want it to.
No noise on a good surface. Definitely much quite than my old set of Bridgestone tires. Even at "enthusiastic" speeds, it's stable and quiet.

Drove in snow/ice in mountain roads of the Rockies. Excellent control. Very predictable. Enough feedback to know what the car is doing and is about to do.

Much more comfortable and helps eliminate smaller road imperfections. It's like you finally put on comfortable shoes. This is especially worth noting given no sacrifice between comfort and handling.

My wife probably got tired of me telling her how happy I am with the choice of the tires during the trip.

Very good grip, extremely comfortable and quiet.

I needed to replace worn out OEM Continental tires that initially came with our Volvo prematurely @ 35k miles. These tires were a marked improvement all around, especially in downpours where handling is so critical. Best I've ever owned in the 52 years of my driving experience. I can't recommend them highly enough. We both drive now with a bit more confidence in bad weather, whether we're in upstate NY or So. FL. They're so worth the money for the peace of mind they bring. Also they'll last longer and keep their performance and comfort longer than the old tires did.

These tires are far better than the factory issued tires. I look for tires that have a confident, quiet and comfortable ride. They are exceptional in heavy rain and standing water. I have not had them in winter weather yet. They are quiet and the improvement in ride comfort is everything I had hoped. I often comment how much more enjoyable it is to drive my Volvo.

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.

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. 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.

Aggressive tread produces some noise, but minor. After 25K I've noticed a 0.9L/100kms drop from my 2018 Equinox AWD, LT, same motor predecessor. Living in SW Ontario I encounter rain far more than light snow or ice and the loss in mileage is made many times over by not having to purchase tire monitors, rims, and dedicated snow tires (previously owned Michelin top of the line dedicated winter tires). I do not require those as the number of times required does not justify purchase. The Cross Climate SUV tire gives me responsive and confident handling. I have managed, cruising at 90KMS, an impressive 5.9L/100Kms (which is 48miles/Imp gallon) over a 80km trip. Tread depth, after 25K, is 7/32". Love this single tire solution.
