No obvious flaws. Good lateral stability on wet surfaces.

Positive: good snow traction, stable handling with good steering precision, short wet braking distances.
Negative: slight weakness in aquaplaning in curves.

Positive: Best on test in the dry with good handling and short dry braking.
Negative: Average wet braking, most expensive tyre on test, higher levels of noise.
Overall: The CrossClimate+ excels in the dry and is fine in the snow, but couldn't match the latest generation of all season tyres in the wet. The CrossClimate 2 will be coming to market in 2021.

A premium-class all-season tire that is characterized by well-balanced performance in any weather conditions, dynamic handling response, accurate steering feedback, long tread life, and low rolling resistance.

Short wet braking distances. Very good wet handling. Short dry braking distances. Low resistance to lateral aquaplaning.

Positive: good all-season tires with well-balanced high performance potential, good snow traction, stable driving behavior with good steering precision, short wet braking distances.
Negative: slight weakness in lateral aquaplaning.

Generally acceptable performance on snow. Strong traction and good handling response on wet and dry pavement. Prone to skids on snow. Relatively long braking distance on snow. Not recommended for cars not equipped with an ESP. Relatively low hydroplaning resistance. Hum when cornering. Very good.

Positive: Premium all-season tires with balanced performance in all weather conditions, dynamic handling qualities, precise steering behavior, high mileage, low rolling resistance.
Negative: high price level.

Best scores for dry traction and resistance to wear. Poor traction on snow.

The Auto Bild ranking of all-season tires 2019 was topped by a model that is marketed by its manufacturer as not quite an all-season tire. For CrossClimate+, the Michelin marketing experts specifically came up with a category named «summer+», rather extrapolating the use of this tires to spring and fall, than to the wintertime. «all-rounded» talent for dynamic driving in any weather conditions, crisp steering response, efficient braking on wet and dry pavement, maximum mileage on test, and a smooth pleasant ride.

The safety is ensured, among other things, by a great handling response. The handling stability and the braking performance are OK, but not the lateral hydroplaning resistance is less than perfect.

The shortest wet braking distances. The only tire with snow capability. Relatively weak wet lateral stability, increased noise levels, long dry braking.

Top marks in wear, good on wet roads. A little weak in the dry compared to the best on test.

Pros: Low rolling resistance, safe behavior on dry and wet pavements alike. Long running life. Good price/quality ratio. Cons: Poor resistance to lateral hydroplaning Weak lateral stability on snow.

The best balance of performance for the UK climate. Dominated in the dry and wet, and wasn't the worst all season tire on test in the snow with more than enough performance for the UK winters. Average curved aquaplaning result.

The Michelin CrossClimate+ has an excellent all round performance, with a particular strength in the dry and wet. Average snow handling.
