Michelin CrossClimate 2 TireYour family's safety tomorrow depends on the tires you choose today. Michelin CrossClimate 2 is the peerless year-round performance tire — Michelin’s most advanced and most versatile passenger tire in more than two decades. Innovations in tread compound and design enable CrossClimate2 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.
Improving the industry-leading record of its predecessor, the Michelin CrossClimate+: 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”). CC+ also ranked “most recommended” by another independent firm (TireRack.com, consumer ratings for “Grand Touring All-Season” category).
Michelin CrossClimate 2 grips to the last stop for drivers who want to get out there safely year-round and confidently in all conditions. Michelin CrossClimate 2 delivers unmatched gripping performance in the rain, even when worn. And let’s face it, everyone is driving on worn tires.
RAIN. “Grips to the last stop,” because even in wet conditions, the worn Michelin 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, CrossClimate 2 stopped even as the others were still going 24 mph or more.
DRY. Stopping first matters even in fair weather: Michelin 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. Extend your safe-driving confidence year-round, across the seasons: With a “3-peak mountain snowflake rating,” even when worn Michelin CrossClimate 2 delivers up to 31% better traction in the snow than four leading all-season competitors.
Real-road testing shows the incomparable Michelin CrossClimate 2 rolls safely and wears longer than leading competitors ― it’s not even close. Michelin CrossClimate 2 is the first of its kind, delivering unsurpassed performance across all seasons and without compromising treadwear. Michelin CrossClimate 2 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).
Michelin CrossClimate 2 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 on Cross Climate 2 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 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 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.
Servicing: V-formation presents clear directional cue for intuitive installation; tested to deliver even, long wear that meets the warranty promise with periodic front-to-back rotations.
