The Michelin CrossClimate 2 tire is highly regarded as a versatile grand touring all-season tire that delivers confident performance on dry, wet, and light snow conditions, qualifying for the severe snow service 3PMSF symbol. It is praised for its strong treadwear longevity, excellent dry traction with stable handling, and impressive hydroplaning resistance. Customers and reviewers highlight its smooth and relatively quiet ride, along with superior wet traction and snow performance, making it a strong year-round option for regions with moderate winter conditions. However, it may not be the absolute top performer compared to some newer competitors in wet braking and ice traction, and some find it a bit expensive but worth the investment for overall quality. The tire also offers a 100,000 km treadwear warranty and is suitable for electric vehicles due to its optimized rolling resistance for better efficiency. Notable points:
- Excels in dry, wet, and snow traction, suitable for most seasonal conditions except extreme winter.
- Very good tread longevity with a 100,000 km warranty.
- Smooth and quiet ride with good handling and braking performance.
- Slightly less impressive on icy roads compared to specialized winter tires.
- Competitors like Continental AllSeasonContact 2 may outperform it in certain wet and ice conditions.
- Overall, a dependable premium all-weather tire with excellent all-around performance and safety.
