MICHELIN CrossClimate SUV REIFENBEWERTUNG

Positive traction, low road noise and confidence with a well-known tyre brand

Very good grip in poor weather conditions

Tyres performing brilliantly, usage is not bad, they are on 6mm now, just been looked at during Winter Check at Toyota. I travel to Poland during winter, where winter conditions are way more challenging than in UK, and tyres performed great, i was actually driving on snow for most of the visit, now going again so expecting same conditions and same outcome.

very good, as expected

Very good, still to try them in snow!

Having always replaced with the standard spec pirelli scorpion zero tyres over the past 100,000 miles since new i was so impressed with the wet grip and reduced noise from a set of Michelin cross climates on a diesel Corsa that i decided to try them on the Freelander. Instant reduction in road noise was a huge benefit. I had been thinking of changing rear wheel bearings but since removing the well used pirelli scorpions my Freelander was instantly so much quieter at motorway speeds. Bliss. It also seems to cope with severe rainfall and standing water so much better. The pirellis were great in mud and snow whereas I suspect the Michelins will be adequate - but i carry chains anyway in the winter. Great tyres if you want more refined motorway manners. Less ultimate off road grip but better on an icy road. The compound is quite soft and I predict getting about 10% less miles per set but worth it for silent running. Interesting that newer (?improved) versions of the cross climate are being launched.

Excellent grip and feedback

Have used these tyres for years found them excellent

They are truly brilliant across the board. It’s incredible to think they perform so well in the snow of the Alps and also through the hot summer we’ve just had. Wear has been very good, they are quiet and handle really well.

The first winter after tyre fitting was very mild in this area so haven’t really tested them in snow or ice yet. Performance in summer has been good though.
