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.

...While others lose control with puddles, ice, and snow these tires work perfectly.
Have yet to experience a tire that can perform this good for the price. My wife works as a nurse in a hospital and has to drive in all kinds of weather. While others lose control with puddles, ice, and snow these tires work perfectly.

Wearing consistently with a 60000 mile life. Good snow traction but not S good as a dedicated snow tire. Overall fantastic balance and worth the money over having two sets and swapping seasonally. If I lived on an icy dirt road these might not cut it but for everything I do, they’re perfect.

...Their handling in winter conditions has been satisfactory enough to forego separate snow tires this season, with effective turning and stopping on hills, except potentially in very deep snow.
After a year-long, 12,000-mile road test, the tires have demonstrated reliable performance. Their handling in winter conditions has been satisfactory enough to forego separate snow tires this season, with effective turning and stopping on hills, except potentially in very deep snow.
During both spirited driving and long-distance, high-speed trips, tire performance was solid in terms of cornering and overall stability. Tire wear and balance have not presented any issues, and noise levels have remained minimal. Regular rotation with routine oil changes is the easy and best choice.

Love these tires. Amazing grip in the rain and dry performance is never a problem. I will be buying these tires again for sure.

...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...
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!

Excellent traction on both dry and wet surfaces. Both straight and corners. The car goes exactly where you want it to.
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.

This is my second set of these tires. I like them for their traction and wear, but they are a little noisy on certain roads. I looked at other brands and just don't find what I like/need when it comes to all around driving conditions. I live in the mid-West and we get all weather conditions with the occasional deep snow. These are some of the best tires short of having snow tires.
