AVIS SUR LE PNEU MICHELIN CrossClimate 2

Very good.good control and handling

No signs of wear, good grip even in slippery wet, not as quiet as I had hoped.

As expected. I used to work at Michelin and am aware of the performance characteristics this tyre has

Excellent performance and has transformed the driving experience. I am yet to test them in the snow.

fully satisfied but not had any experiance of driveing in snow yet

As yet the tyres have not really been tested by poor weather, be that snow, ice, a torrential down pour or an emergency braking manoeuvre. Suffice to say, the car feels well connected to the road and with my relaxed driving style the limits of grip are not going to be tested in day to day driving. All a bit early to comment on the longevity of the tyres, but the last set of front tyres lasted some 35,000 miles, and it is to be hoped that the current set do the same. Michelin mention a US Department of transportation study, that shows the tyre to achieve 67,300 miles on a treadwear test, significantly better than other marques. How this relates to real world driving conditions is unknown and makes my 35,000 miles look rather meagre. Should they get past 40,000 miles, then a more stars should be added to the review

Good grip in all weather

They use approx 10% more fuel / energy on motorways than the Hankooks. The handling on dry roads is not as good (I now have all 4 tyres the same, initially just replaced 2 on the rear and that threw the balance on the car out so replaced the fronts as well). Can't comment on winter weather handling as now the wrong time of year. Wet weather handling similar to Hankook.

There's been a lot of rain since the tyres were fitted and my ability to stop more quickly was really notable.

Excellent performance, feels like my car hugs the road and dosnt let go! They give you an extra feeling of safety.
