The Michelin CrossClimate+ is a premium all-season tire that offers well-balanced performance in various weather conditions. According to multiple tests conducted by Autobild and TyreReviews.com, this tire provides dynamic handling, precise steering, and high mileage capabilities. Additionally, it has a proven all-season profile with a high-performance potential, offering good snow traction, stable driving behavior, and excellent steering precision. Furthermore, the tire has been praised for its short dry braking and low rolling resistance.
However, there are a few drawbacks to the Michelin CrossClimate+ as well. In some tests, it demonstrated weak performance in curve aquaplaning, and average wet braking. Moreover, higher levels of noise were reported in certain tests. It is important to note that the tire's performance may vary depending on its dimension, as the tests conducted involved different sizes (205/55 R16, 215/60 R16, and 225/45 R17).
Lastly, the Michelin CrossClimate+ comes with a relatively high price, which may deter some potential buyers. Nonetheless, its overall performance and efficiency make it a worthy investment for those seeking a premium all-season tire. It is worth mentioning that a new version, the CrossClimate 2, will be launched in 2021, which could potentially address the tire's shortcomings.
Michelin CrossClimate+ is made in 81 sizes, starting from 145/60 R13 up to 255/40 R19.
