CrossClimate 2 SUV TYRE REVIEW

Doing well - as expected

The best tyres I have ever fitted and I have always fitted premium tyres over the years... Pirelli, Pirelli Scorpion, Continental Sport and since last year, Michelin Cross Climate 2. ALL of the other tyres tramlined (an issue with 20" wheels on my car ML320CDI). Some more dangerously than others. I went to two separate Mercedes main dealers to check the steering geometry but both found everything in A1 condition. I went to online forums to receive no end of helpful advice. In the end, based on my understanding of the possible physics of various tyre profiles, I switched to these Michelins. The change in dynamic perfomance of my car was IMMEDIATE. I have never looked back.

Excellent tyres. They perform very well in all weather conditions.

Absolutely unsurpassed in handling, grip and especially stability on every road surface. I have run Pirellis, Contis and have had nothing but stability (both) and noise (Contis) issues... 20" wheels on a Mercedes ML (SUV) is not a good combination. Dreadful tram-lining led me to spend a lot of money at Mercedes and Independent workshops looking for a steering geometry fault but could never pin one down. Then I figured that the physics of running circumferential grooves on longitudinal road imperfections was a probable issue. Looking at the Michelin Cross Climate 2 tyres I just knew they would have better dynamic capabilities. Sure enough, all dynamic issues were solved!

Really pleased with the comfort and low noise from the tyres

Unique herringbone tread makes them Fabulous in the wet, rock stable on uneven ground and crossing motorway lanes. My SUV has 20" wheels and tramlining and directional stability especially in the wet, has been a major issue until fitting these Cross Climates from Michelin which have totally sorted the issues I had. I just drove to Devon in that terrible storm we had on 8th October, with total confidence. I am super happy with the performance.

Excellent in both rain and snow

Very good in wet, snow and ice.

Very good, especially in severe wet weather

Good grip always loved Michelin albeit they went into making not goos or long lasting before learning a lesson
