Michelin CrossClimate2 Product Description

This listing is for new Michelin CrossClimate2 225/60R18 104H BSW Tires. Manufacturer part number: 36488.

The Michelin CrossClimate2 is the tire that made the all-weather category mainstream in the US. It carries 3PMSF certification for severe snow service while still being engineered as a genuine year-round tire, which is why so many drivers use it to replace both their all-season and winter sets with one.

The V-Formation tread and Thermal Adaptive compound are what make that possible, holding grip across a much wider temperature range than a conventional all-season can. The tread utilizes deep lateral grooves running from the center to the shoulders to effectively evacuate water and slush. Down the middle, rigid central tread blocks heavily resist the forces of braking and acceleration. This is the mechanical reason it consistently tops independent testing for wet and snow braking, and it delivers that without the vague, floaty steering that used to come with winter-capable tires. Furthermore, sipes aligned with these grooves create biting edges for winter grip while maximizing tread block rigidity. Full-depth features mean this snow capability is still there when the tire is half worn, not just when it is new.

The two questions buyers ask are whether it truly replaces winter tires and what it costs you in summer. Honest answers: for cold rain, slush, and moderate snow, yes, it replaces a winter set and saves you the changeover. On sheet ice or in mountain conditions, a dedicated winter tire still stops shorter. And in summer heat, it trades a small amount of steering sharpness for that all-weather range, which most drivers never notice and enthusiasts sometimes do.

It is backed by a 60,000-mile limited treadwear warranty. Rotate every five to seven thousand miles to hold that life, since the directional-influenced tread wears best when it is rotated on schedule.

Best-suited for: Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Subaru Outback, Toyota Highlander, Tesla Model Y, Subaru Forester.
