The Michelin CrossClimate 2 is the peerless year-round performance tire and Michelin's most advanced, most versatile passenger tire in more than two decades. Thanks to innovations in tread compound and design, it delivers unmatched year-round performance in unexpected weather conditions, an improved combination that's never been seen before in a passenger or crossover tire for North America. It also improves on the industry-leading record of its predecessor, the Michelin CrossClimate+. CC+ 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 another independent firm ranked it “most recommended” in consumer ratings for the “Grand Touring All-Season” category. For drivers who want to get out there safely year-round and confidently in all conditions, the CrossClimate 2 grips to the last stop. It delivers 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 CrossClimate 2 beats Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady, a leading competitor, by more than 50 feet in wet-stopping tests from 50 mph, and among four leading competitors it stopped even as the others were still going 24 mph or more. On dry pavement, where stopping first still matters, it stops up to 16 feet shorter (more than one full car length!) than four leading competitors, so you can keep your cool even when traffic heats up. In snow, its “3-peak mountain snowflake rating” extends your safe-driving confidence across the seasons: even when worn, it delivers up to 31% better traction in the snow than four leading all-season competitors. Real-road testing shows the incomparable CrossClimate 2 rolls safely and wears longer than leading competitors, and it's not even close. It is the first of its kind, delivering unsurpassed performance across all seasons without compromising treadwear. Compared with four leading competitors, it consistently delivers up to one year of additional wear, 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), and it 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). Its 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 design optimizes rain and snow traction while improving dry handling and long wear without compromise. Other “all-season” tires can deliver one of these performances, but not all. Wear: V-formation and 3D-SipeLock in the tread design distribute forces evenly for long wear while also delivering maximum grip and sporty handling in dry conditions. Noise: you can't hear a difference! Using PIANO Noise Reduction Tuning, Michelin designed a tread with 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.
