Does this tire fit your vehicle?

Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

The Mud-Terrain T/AKM3 is BFGoodrich's Off-Road Maximum Traction tire, a category often referred to as mud tires, designed for the drivers of Jeeps, pickup trucks, full-size SUVs and dedicated off-road vehicles who want a tire that incorporates a long heritage of championship-winning technology in a street tire. Designed to overcome any obstacle that may get in the way and developed with toughness and traction at the forefront, the Mud-Terrain T/AKM3 also focuses on providing acceptable levels of on-road noise and comfort.

The Krawl-Tek Compound of the Mud-Terrain T/AKM3 is designed to enhance grip on rock and slick surfaces and is molded into the symmetric, Terrain-Attack tread design. The large tread blocks provide a stable foundation in loose or rocky conditions and are oriented to provide biting edges in all directions for traction regardless of the angle of approach. The design of the Traction-Armor Sidewall Sculpture protects the tire off-road by helping prevent hazards from snagging and splitting the sidewall, while the notched shoulder design improves traction in dirt and mud. Stone bumpers in the tread grooves eject small rocks to prevent damage from drilling, and the mud-phobic bars in the shoulders help the tire self-clean to maintain traction in mud or soft soil. Wide grooves and lateral notches aid in hydroplaning resistance, and the independent tread blocks create biting edges for traction in wet or snowy conditions.

The construction of the Mud-Terrain T/AKM3 is focused on toughness and durability, inside and out. Thick sidewall rubber and extended shoulder rubber provide resistance to splits, punctures and bruising, and the internal construction features a robust, three-ply polyester casing to further enhance puncture resistance. A single, nylon cap ply provides reinforcement, and two high-strength steel belts stabilize the tread.

While Off-Road Maximum Traction tires are branded with the M+S symbol and able to churn through deep snow, their typical oversize applications and the absence of snow-biting sipes in their large smooth lugs can challenge their on-road wintertime traction on packed snow and icy surfaces.

These tires are amazing. Wet traction is very impressive, especially at higher speeds or going into turns. What really stands out is how well these perform in the snow. I just recently had to drive in two snowstorms and these tires did not disappoint. They just handle everything so well and provide a lot of grip whether it dry, wet, or snow. I would definitely recommend the Michelin CrossClimate 2.

This is my 2nd set of CC2. I can't say enough great things about these tires. Recently we had about 8 to 10 inches of snow here in Connecticut. I had to do a little off street parking for a holiday party. I easily drove up on the curb, straightened out and parked. Later upon leaving I put my car in low gear and we climbed off the curb with ease. Meanwhile, every other SUV leaving when we did had to be pushed out by a group of husbands bcz they were spinning in the snow. I've driven in heavy rain on the highway with curvy bends. My CC2 handles like a champ. I feel safe and dont feel the need to baby the bends... rain or shine! The pattern of the tire is an extra bonus. Looks super sharp on my subaru! *and they were amazing when I used to have them on my '12 Mazda CX9. Its my experience the tread lasts!! Whwn I traded in the mazda the CC2s went with it. Im still kicking myself for not keeping those tires and maybe throw some cheap ones for the trade in. Oh well!! Ill know better if ever a next time. If you are on the fence, don't be these are the tires you are looking for!

I love this tire. Out-performs any all season tire I've ever had in all aspects. I was hesitant to put these on my tuned SQ5, but have no regrets. Compared to a full summer tire, these perform much better than expected, cornering is softer yet still very predictable and dry traction is no problem. Amazing in the snow and rain, drive with confidence. Treadwear is looking great so far. I recommend this tire on almost any vehicle.

Customers praise the CrossClimate2's outstanding treadwear, with overwhelmingly positive ratings (most 9s/10s). A few 7s/8s suggest minor variance, but durability and long-lasting performance excel in all-season touring use.

...The treadwear has been excellent thus far ( 32K+ and counting); I do rotate the tires every 5,000 miles with oil changes...

Purchased for my 2020 Subaru Forester. Sought a foul weather tire that would hold up to a daily roundtrip commute of 80-100 mile. Where I commute to is in higher elevations with many hills and occasional severe weather conditions especially in the winter. These tires in unison with the AWD have earned my trust in all road conditions in all seasons. The treadwear has been excellent thus far (32K+ and counting); I do rotate the tires every 5,000 miles with oil changes.
PROs: Traction and handling in all road conditions, treadwear
CONs: some road noise (Subaru cabins aren't well isolated from road noise), I did notice I lost 1 mpg in fuel efficiency since adding these tires.
Overall: Terrific set of tires that deliver on what they advertise; the PROs exponentially outweigh any of the cons.
