The Michelin CrossClimate2 SUV is a solid choice for drivers who need a touring all-season tire that can handle a bit of everything, including light snow, thanks to its 3PMSF rating. Its 60,000-mile treadwear warranty is competitive, though slightly below the category average, suggesting decent longevity. Comfort and noise levels are right on par with the category benchmarks, making it a pleasant choice for long highway drives.
However, the tire's wet grip score of 5.5 is a notable shortcoming, especially when the category average is 6.9. This could be a drawback for those who frequently drive in rainy conditions. The dry grip is also slightly below average, which might not satisfy those looking for a more engaging driving experience.
When comparing to competitors like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control, which offers better wet grip, the CrossClimate2 SUV may not be the best option for wet weather performance. The Continental ProContact TX and ContiProContact offer similar comfort and noise levels but may provide better handling in wet conditions.
If wet grip is a top priority, consider the BFGoodrich Advantage Control instead. The CrossClimate2 SUV is best for those who value comfort and light snow capability over wet weather performance.
