Here's our latest Michelin CrossClimate Plus review. Michelin managed to mix excellent dry handling with capable snow traction, it feels very positive behind the wheel, which makes the driving experience better. Excellent treadlife for an all-weather tire and good treadwear warranty. Michelin CrossClimate 2 Specs & Options. One of the most pleasing aspects of this tire is its broad market coverage. You can get it in sizes ranging from 16-inch to 20-inch wheels and tire widths from 245 to 245. It is worth noting that it is rated for Severe Snow Service as evidenced by its UTQG of 640 B A. 2. They give excellent traction and handling on dry, wet and snowy roads. This past winter, I had two occasions to drive on roads covered with 6-10" of snow. Excellent traction. 3. They wear very well! After about 12,000 miles, they hardly show any wear. I expect to get about 50,000-60,000 miles out of these tires. 4. Michelin employed its next-gen Thermal Adaptive compound in the CrossClimate 2, which is its most distinguishing feature. It gives the tire a good grip on dry and wet roads but stays very soft and pliable in the winter. Meanwhile, the tread design is directional and pretty unique. However, the weight range of the Michelin Crossclimate 2, which spans from 25 to 36.5 lbs, is beyond the 17 to 30 lbs range of the Bridgestone WeatherPeak. This suggests that the Michelin model might offer more durability due to its greater weight. Analyzing the speed ratings, both tires share common ground with H and V ratings. Run 1 – Cross Climate 2 Review. Result: 7 litres/100km. The first run I did at night ended with a fuel economy number of 7 litres/100km. Disappointing. However during the first run there was a very strong head wind on the section of the route that would see the best fuel economy ie the motorway section. Driving along this stretch of motorway Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack vs. Michelin CrossClimate 2. When the Michelin CrossClimate 2 tire, compared to the Turanza QuietTrack, does better in nearly every category. This includes braking distances in dry and wet conditions, subjective dry handling, snow and ice capability, noise, comfort, and ride quality. The Michelin CrossClimate 2 has a unique design. It features a V-formation directional tread pattern similar to a summer performance tire. As a result, many journos consider it a summer/all-season tire. There is more to CrossClimate 2's tread design. The Michelin CrossClimate 2 outperforms its predecessor, the Michelin CrossClimate Plus, in most aspects. The CrossClimate 2 also provides a smoother ride with its softer tread rubber and cap ply. It offers better tread life, with a higher UTQG rating (640 vs. 600) and roughly 10k more miles in tests. And while both models underperform in wet Michelin CrossClimate 2 Price. Pricing for the Michelin CrossClimate 2 ranges from around $140 per tire to $240 per tire on 16- to 20-inch fitments. Michelin CrossClimate 2 Warranty. The CrossClimate 2 tire comes equipped with a 60,000 mile tread life warranty.
