Michelin's most advanced and most versatile passenger tire in more than two decades, the CrossClimate 2 is the peerless year-round performance tire. Its tread compound and design innovations deliver unmatched year-round performance in unexpected weather conditions, an improved combination never before seen in a passenger or crossover tire for North America. The CrossClimate 2 builds on the industry-leading record of its predecessor, the Michelin CrossClimate+: CC+ earned top scores against all other “performance all-season” tires by one independent testing agency (Consumer Reports, Nov. 2019, test results for “Performance All-season tires”) and was ranked “most recommended” by another independent firm in consumer ratings for the “Grand Touring All-Season” category. Made for drivers who want to get out there safely year-round and confidently in all conditions, the CrossClimate 2 grips to the last stop, delivering unmatched gripping performance in the rain even when worn. Let's face it, everyone is driving on worn tires. RAIN: in wet conditions, 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. DRY: stopping first matters even in fair weather, and the CrossClimate 2 stops up to 16 feet shorter (more than one full car length!) on dry pavement than four leading competitors, so you can keep your cool even when traffic heats up. SNOW: to extend your safe-driving confidence year-round, it carries a “3-peak mountain snowflake rating” and, even when worn, delivers up to 31% better traction in the snow than four leading all-season competitors. Real-road testing shows that the incomparable CrossClimate 2 rolls safely and wears longer than leading competitors; it's not even close. As the first of its kind, it delivers unsurpassed performance across all seasons without compromising treadwear. Compared with four leading competitors, it consistently delivers up to one year of additional wear, 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). The innovative combination of rubber compound and directional tread design solves dealers' concerns about treadwear (mileage or longevity), noise and servicing. Directional V-formation tread design optimizes rain and snow traction while improving dry handling and long wear without compromise, where other “all-season” tires can deliver one of these performances, but not all. Wear: V-formation and 3D-SipeLock distribute forces evenly for long wear while also delivering maximum grip and sporty handling in dry conditions. Noise: you can't hear a difference! With PIANO Noise Reduction Tuning, Michelin designed a tread whose blocks and angles cancel out “harmonic” road noise and create ideal amplitude for the contact patch, making it as quiet or better than Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady and Bridgestone Quiet Track, based on internal test results.
