MICHELIN CrossClimate2
#1 in Tire · Rated 4.8
All-weather tire with strong snow and wet performance
MICHELIN CrossClimate2 is Michelin’s flagship all-season tire designed for year-round safety and reliability. It targets cars, crossovers, and small SUVs, offering confident wet and dry braking, improved wear life, and 3PMSF snow certification across many sizes. The tire uses a thermo-adaptive tread compound and a directional V-formation tread pattern to optimize water evacuation, traction, and stability in varied conditions, while maintaining a comfortable ride. In global tests and independent reviews, CrossClimate2 often leads in snow performance and rolling resistance, making it a strong choice for drivers who want winter capability without swapping to dedicated winter tires. Its differentiation comes from a balance of strong winter performance without sacrificing everyday dry and wet handling, plus a focus on long wear life and fuel efficiency. Suitable for those who live in climates with four seasons but moderate snowfall, and for fleets seeking a single-tire solution across regions. The tire is backed by Michelin’s warranty and service network, adding confidence for long-term ownership.
