Michelin's most advanced and most versatile passenger tire in more than two decades, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is the peerless year-round performance tire. Innovations in tread compound and design let it 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 CrossClimate+: CC+ earned top scores against all other “performance all-season” tires from one independent testing agency (Consumer Reports, Nov. 2019, test results for “Performance All-season tires”) and was also ranked “most recommended” by another independent firm in consumer ratings for the “Grand Touring All-Season” category. The CrossClimate 2 grips to the last stop for drivers who want to get out there safely year-round and confidently in all conditions, delivering 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 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 while the others were still going 24 mph or more. DRY. Stopping first matters in fair weather too: 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. 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 across the seasons. Real-road testing shows the incomparable CrossClimate 2 rolls safely and wears longer than leading competitors, and it's not even close. The first of its kind, it delivers unsurpassed performance across all seasons without compromising treadwear, consistently providing 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). 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. 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 distribute forces evenly for long wear while 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 WeatherReady and Bridgestone Quiet Track based on internal test results.
