Your family's safety tomorrow depends on the tires you choose today. The peerless year-round performance tire, Michelin Cross Climate 2 is also Michelin's most advanced and most versatile passenger tire in more than two decades, and its innovations in tread compound and design 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. It improves the industry-leading record of its predecessor, the Michelin Cross Climate+. 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. For drivers who want to get out there safely year-round and confidently in all conditions, the Cross Climate 2 grips to the last stop. 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 Cross Climate 2 beats Goodyear Assurance Weather Ready, a leading competitor, by more than 50 feet in wet-stopping tests from 50 mph; among four leading competitors, it stopped even as the others were still going 24 mph or more. In the dry, where 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 your safe-driving confidence across the seasons, and even when worn it delivers up to 31% better traction in the snow than four leading all-season competitors. According to real-road testing, the incomparable Cross Climate 2 rolls safely and wears longer than leading competitors, and it's not even close. This first-of-its-kind tire delivers unsurpassed performance across all seasons without compromising treadwear. Compared with four leading competitors, it consistently delivers up to one year of additional wear: 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). It 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). Dealers' concerns about treadwear (mileage or longevity), noise and servicing are solved by Michelin's innovative combination of rubber compound and directional tread design. 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, 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 Weather Ready and Bridgestone Quiet Track, based on internal test results.
