Competitors

The Michelin CrossClimate 2 has garnered attention for its exceptional performance in various driving conditions. Commonly highlighted is its superior performance on snowy surfaces, where it exhibits high levels of grip and a broader margin of safety than typically expected from an all-season tire. Test results repeatedly commend its snow handling capabilities, noting it as the best snow performer by a significant margin, even when compared to winter tires under similar test conditions. This excellence extends to dry conditions as well, where the CrossClimate 2 boasts very short braking distances, precise steering response, high grip in dry corners, and commendable fuel efficiency due to its low rolling resistance.


Comfort and durability also receive positive remarks, with the tire providing a good level of comfort and, in some tests, a very good kilometer mileage indicating long-term durability. Despite these strengths, the CrossClimate 2 does face criticism concerning its performance in wet conditions. Several tests note that while it has high aquaplaning resistance, the tire demonstrates average or below-average performance in wet braking and handling, with a tendency towards understeer in wet curves and longer braking distances compared to its dry and snow performance. A few observations also mention a minor noise issue at specific speeds, though this does not seem widely reported across all tests.


This juxtaposition paints the Michelin CrossClimate 2 as an excellent option for drivers primarily concerned with winter and dry performance, offering reliability and safety in those conditions. However, those who frequently encounter wet driving environments may find its performance in such conditions a consideration worth noting. The tire's achievements suggest it as a leader in the all-season segment, particularly praised for its winter capabilities, yet leave room for improvement in wet conditions for future iterations. Acknowledging these attributes could guide Michelin in enhancing the tire, potentially trading off some snow performance for better wet handling and braking, thus aligning closer to the ideal balance of an all-season tire.
