The Michelin CrossClimate 2, Michelin's most advanced and most versatile passenger tire in more than two decades, is the peerless year-round performance tire. With innovations in tread compound and design, it delivers unmatched year-round performance in unexpected weather conditions, an improved combination never seen before in a passenger or crossover tire for North America. It improves the industry-leading record of its predecessor, the Michelin CrossClimate+. One independent testing agency gave CC+ top scores against all other “performance all-season” tires (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. The CrossClimate 2 grips to the last stop, made for drivers who want to get out there safely year-round and confidently in all conditions. Even when worn, it delivers unmatched gripping performance in the rain, 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. In the dry, stopping first matters even in fair weather: it 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. In the snow, its “3-peak mountain snowflake rating” extends safe-driving confidence year-round, and even when worn the tire 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; it's not even close. The first of its kind, the CrossClimate 2 delivers unsurpassed performance across all seasons without compromising treadwear. It consistently delivers 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), 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). Michelin's 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; 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, also delivering maximum grip and sporty handling in dry conditions. Noise: you can't hear a difference! The tread was designed with PIANO Noise Reduction Tuning, using blocks and angles that 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.
