Michelin Cross Climate2 A/W CUV 255/65R18 111H SUV/Crossover All-Weather Tire

Michelin CrossClimate 2 is the peerless year-round performance tire, the most advanced and most versatile passenger tire Michelin has made in more than two decades. Innovations in tread compound and design allow it to deliver 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. Its predecessor, the Michelin CrossClimate+, set an industry-leading record that the CrossClimate 2 improves on: 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 another independent firm ranked it “most recommended” in consumer ratings for the “Grand Touring All-Season” category. Drivers who want to get out there safely year-round and confidently in all conditions get a tire that 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. RAIN. Even in wet conditions, the worn CrossClimate 2 beats a leading competitor, Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady, by more than 50 feet in wet-stopping tests from 50 mph. Among four leading competitors, CrossClimate 2 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. Extending your safe-driving confidence across the seasons, it carries a “3-peak mountain snowflake rating,” and even when worn it delivers up to 31% better traction in the snow than four leading all-season competitors. In real-road testing, the incomparable CrossClimate 2 rolls safely and wears longer than leading competitors; it's not even close. The first of its kind, it delivers unsurpassed performance across all seasons without compromising treadwear, and it consistently delivers up to one year of additional wear compared with four leading competitors. That's 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). The CrossClimate 2 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). Treadwear (mileage or longevity), noise and servicing are dealer concerns that Michelin's innovative combination of rubber compound and directional tread design solves. 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: the 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! PIANO Noise Reduction Tuning was used to design 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.
