Notable Features

Michelin CrossClimate+ is a directional all-season tire, adapted to be used in winter conditions. This tire is characterized by a high level of safety both on sun-scorched highways and snow-covered roads. Michelin CrossClimate+ A 2017 model that is considered a great option for spring and fall.The appearance of the Michelin CrossClimate+ was all but sudden. Its predecessor, CrossClimate, which was put in production in 2015, was showing great results in independent tests — but somehow only in those dedicated to all-season tires. In the tests of summer tires, the model was not as successful. Safety in Every Weather Condition In the «plus» modification, it would have made sense to make improvements in the summer-related performance areas but the tire maker took a different path. For some reason, the company decided that there was a desperate need of improving snow traction, thus shifting the focus even more in the direction of all-season use. The Unique V-Shaped Tread Pattern Dictum-factum! Now the French tire maker proudly claims that the grip insured by the CrossClimate Plus on snow-covered roads is comparable to that of its main all-season competitors. The big difference, however, is that the performance of the «plus» model deteriorates much slower as the tire wears. Mobility on Snow According to the company, the Michelin CrossClimate Plus dry grip will remain on a level with that of premium-class dedicated summer tires. Thanks to the excellent dry and wet traction, these tires will last you at least a couple of seasons, will let you climb a snow-covered hill, where summer tires will inevitably start slipping, and under temperatures above 7°C will not lose its effectiveness, and will not wear out as fast as winter tires would.Furthermore, the Michelin CrossClimate Plus tires can still be used when the tread depth falls below four millimeters — i.e. reaches the critical point after which other tire makers recommend having your tires replaced. Self-Locking 3D Shaped Sipes The Michelin CrossClimate Plus innovative tread compound contains special elastomers, silica, and rubber that not only improve the tire’s overall performance in a wide range of temperatures, but also optimize traction in any weather conditions. Michelin claims that this model will stay operational from -30°C to + 40°C. Innovative Compound Thus, the Michelin CrossClimate+ all-season tire, which nonetheless sports a 3PMSF (Three Peak Mountain Snowflake) sign on its sidewall can be used all year round. The tire also maintains its performance and keeps up motorists’ mobility from the first to the last kilometer. Three Peak Mountain Snowflake

Two years later and 30200 miles driven, no tread left. CT store I bought and installed it didnt even patch the puncture due to no tread left.

I hoped it would last longer, it was quite pricy. I would not recommend this tire to anyone. Nokian WR2 lasted 5.5 years and performed reliably in its last winter after close to 65000 miles.

I have these tires around 9,000 miles and 16 months on them. I drive a lot every day and noticed that these tires have improved handling in the wet and in the dry. They are also more quiet. The snow traction is good too. But the weak side is ice traction. I'd buy them again for certain for around use!  But if you have winters with icy roads you'd better take the winter tires.

I'm a sporty driver and I was always used to real sports tyres like Bridgestone Potenza s001, Goodyear Eagle F1,... and I must say grip in light snow and very wet conditions are exceptional with this one. Steering feel is nice to. Very happy with them. I paid 700€ for 4 tyres with an alignment.

Questions and Answers

  • Samuel Shakovsky 16 May, 2020 16:15
    It is nice that you give us the top picks, but the price difference between the #1 and #2 option is astronomical on some of these tires. For example, priced out the Michelin CrossClimate + and the cost per tire in the holidays for my size was $250 per tire, or $1000 dollars before you spend to install them. Or I could go with the slightly lower rated Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady, and pay $180 per tire and save $280 on that price for a tire that is almost as good.
