MICHELIN CrossClimate 2 REIFENBEWERTUNG

Fine, esp in the wet.

Excellent - quiet with good road holding in all weather conditions

They perform very well, particularly in winter conditions.

Great all round performance and good mileage life

Wouldn't buy anything else, been superb purchase.

They perform better than summer tyres in the wet and provide a lot of traction in snowy and cold conditions. They might wear slightly faster but the trade off is more than worth it, far safer. They far out perform a 4x4 on summer tyres in snowy and cold conditions ( my car is front wheel drive). In fact I was able to tow a courier out my estate up a steep hill with the road covered in snow with these tyres, the courier had summer tyres and was just spinning his wheels. Even 4x4's on summer tyres were really battling up the hill, I had no issues towing the courier out, it was amazing to see.

They are a world apart from the tyres the car came on; surefooted and quiet with excellent adhesion in poor weather and on country roads.

I replaced the original Continental summer tyres on my Fiat 500 Electric with Cross Climate 2's in November 2022 and have now driven on them about 3000 mi in all kinds of weather. Very importantly for an EV, the energy consumption is just as good as the OEM summer tyre, so there is no range penalty for keeping the Cross Climate 2's on in summer. As expected for an all-season tyre, the ultimate grip in hot weather is a bit less than the OEM summer tyre and they are a touch louder on the motorway, but the trade-off is well worth it for the exceptional wet grip, especially in cooler temperatures at night or in early mornings when moisture tends to accumulate on the road. I've used Cross Climate 2's also on our VW Caravelle for more than 6000 mi, including on snowy Swedish roads, and they've performed just as well on the van as on the tiny 500.

The traction on wet and snowbound roads is very impressive and noticeably better.

Good performance,no issues with grip thus far
