Michelin CrossClimate2 235/50R17 96H All-Season Tire

Michelin's most advanced and most versatile passenger tire in more than two decades, the CrossClimate2 in 235/50R17 96H is the peerless year-round performance tire, because your family's safety tomorrow depends on the tires you choose today. Its innovations in tread compound and design deliver unmatched year-round performance in unexpected weather conditions, an improved combination never seen before in a passenger or crossover tire for North America. It builds on the industry-leading record of its predecessor, the Michelin CrossClimate+ (CC+), which earned top scores against all other "performance all-season" tires from one independent testing agency (Consumer Reports, Nov. 2019, test results for "Performance all season tires") and was also ranked "most recommended" by another independent firm (consumer ratings for the "Grand Touring All-Season" category). For drivers who want to get out there safely and confidently year-round in all conditions, CrossClimate2 grips to the last stop, with unmatched gripping performance in the rain even when worn, and let's face it, everyone is driving on worn tires. In the rain, the worn CrossClimate2 beats a leading competitor, Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady, by more than 50 feet in wet-stopping tests from 50 mph, and it stopped even as four leading competitors were still going 24 mph or more. On dry pavement, where stopping first matters even in fair weather, it stops up to 16 feet shorter than four leading competitors, more than one full car length, so you can keep your cool even when traffic heats up. In the snow, its 3-peak mountain snowflake rating extends your safe-driving confidence across the seasons, with up to 31% better traction than four leading all-season competitors, even when worn. Real-road testing shows CrossClimate2 rolls safely and wears longer than leading competitors, and it's not even close. As the first of its kind, it delivers unsurpassed performance across all seasons without compromising treadwear, consistently giving up to one year of additional wear compared with four leading competitors, which is more than 15,000 miles of year-round safe driving and safe stopping (based on U.S. DoT, 13,500 average annual miles per driver). It also lasts 11-23% longer than the other leading all-season tires from the largest competitors (Continental CrossContact LX25 & PureContact LS; Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady; and Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack). Michelin's innovative combination of rubber compound and directional tread design solves dealers' concerns about treadwear (mileage or longevity), noise and servicing. The directional V-formation tread optimizes rain and snow traction while improving dry handling and long wear without compromise, whereas other "all-season" tires can deliver one of these performances, but not all. For wear, the V-formation and 3D-SipeLock distribute forces evenly for long wear while also delivering maximum grip and sporty handling in dry conditions. For noise, you can't hear a difference: Michelin used PIANO Noise Reduction Tuning to design tread blocks and angles that cancel out "harmonic" road noise and create ideal amplitude for the contact patch, as quiet or better than Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady and Bridgestone Quiet Track, based on internal test results. For servicing, the V-formation presents a clear directional cue for intuitive installation, and the tire is tested to deliver even, long wear that meets the warranty promise with periodic front-to-back rotations.
