Your family's safety tomorrow depends on the tires you choose today. Michelin Cross Climate 2 is the peerless year-round performance tire, and it is Michelin's most advanced and most versatile passenger tire in more than two decades. Innovations in tread compound and design let the CrossClimate2 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 improves on the industry-leading record of its predecessor, the Michelin Cross Climate+: 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. The Cross Climate 2 grips to the last stop for drivers who want to get out there safely year-round and confidently in all conditions, 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 Cross Climate 2 beats Goodyear Assurance Weather Ready, 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: the Cross Climate 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. With a “3-peak mountain snowflake rating,” even when worn it delivers up to 31% better traction in the snow than four leading all-season competitors, extending your safe-driving confidence year-round, across the seasons. Real-road testing shows the incomparable Cross Climate 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. It consistently delivers up to one year of additional wear compared with four leading competitors, 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 lasts 11–23% longer than the other leading all-season tires from the largest competitors (Continental Cross Contact LX25 & Pure Contact LS; Goodyear Assurance Weather Ready; and Bridgestone Turanza Quiet Track). Michelin's innovative combination of rubber compound and directional tread design on the Cross Climate 2 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! Michelin used PIANO Noise Reduction Tuning to design a tread whose blocks and angles cancel out “harmonic” road noise and create ideal amplitude for the contact patch, as quiet or better than Goodyear Assurance Weather Ready and Bridgestone Quiet Track, based on internal test results.
