MICHELIN CrossClimate 2 SUV

Purchased for the front axle as my existing tyres were balding on the inner edging (tracking now corrected) and we were taking the truck to the Alps for a ski holiday. In the snow these were brilliant!! On the rear I had Continental tyres which are more nobly looking so I was a bit concerned I had made a bad choice with Michelin. Possibly also testament to the Ford Ranger 4x4 system but not once did I slide out with under/over steer. We drove on compacted snow in Pralognan France, for anyone who has driven here the road in is windy and treacherous in icy conditions. Taking it gentle I had full grip with the tyres. On the Motorway we were cruising at 130km (80mph) as the Ranger has a 10speed auto and the noise levels were fine, it felt like we were in a normal car! I almost rated the result 4/5 based on knocking it down for looks as it doesn't look like a nobly 4x4 tyre, but then I thought get real this is about safety, performance, noise etc, so it gets a 5 from me.

Softer, better steering, hold the road better in the wet..

Previously on my Pick up truck it was prone to aqua planing. Now it’s very safe and controllable in heavy rain. Superb in the corners, wet and dry.

the wet grip is great

Very good,good gripe in the snow
