Jason Fenske, Host of Engineering Explained, puts MICHELIN® CrossClimate®2 tires to the test with a series of real-life road trips. With a tire compound formulated for winter driving conditions and a distinct tread pattern ideal for summer driving conditions, this four-season tire is adapted for wet or dry roads and everything in between. Plus, with full-depth tread features and performance made to last, the Michelin® CrossClimate®2 tire will go the distance trip after trip. Watch as Jason Fenske explains what makes the MICHELIN® CrossClimate®2 tire different from other tires.

Have had these for 2 winters and 1 1/2 years on my 2015 GMC Yukon Denali, 6.2 liter 420 HP V8. Now at 20,000 miles. Tire is fantastic in virtually all conditions. Just used them in 4" compacted unplowed snow (JAN 2024). Put car in AWD, turned off traction control and accelerated from stop at virtually full throttle. No wheel spin whatsoever. Braked down from 50 mph to stop as hard as I could. No ABS intrusion. Stopped straight and quickly. Went to empty parking lot and performed controlled drifts in figure 8 circles. Easy and near effortless to control any slide using throttle modulation. They perform just as well as when new. The aggressive tire tread suggests noise. NOT! They simply don't produce the in cabin noise, the aggressive tread suggest they might. BTW, I am a nationally certified racing and high performance instructor and do so for Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Audi, Jaguar, NASA, SCDA, Hooked on Driving and a host of other car clubs. Please consider these tires. You won't regret it.
BTW, I have no connection or affiliation with Michelin whatsoever.
"Why? Because I'm lazy." Lol. Brutally honest.
I just purchased the Cross Climate 2 last week for my 2022 VW ID.4 Pro S AWD and honestly, I like how it feels but with the caveat that I have lost significant range. Hoping that eventually, it will catch back to 3.4 to 3.8mi/kWh as I used to have with the OEM tires.
I just had them ordered in Europe – all thanks to this video!
Your explanation of tire engineering combined with your real world experience with the tire was spectacular! I intend to direct others to view this video. Impressive.

Is there a left side and a right side CrossClimate 2? In other words, can you dismount a CrossClimate 2 from the left wheel, and remount it on the right wheel, still going the same direction if needed to offset inner or outer tire wear?
No season tires are poor compromise. All weather tires are the way to go.
Thanks for conferming my own research! From North Idaho.
Are the tires noisy?
