Given 81% while driving a (225/45 R17) on for 0 miles
They're good tyres but nothing more. Dry and rain performance really good but in snow and ice they feel just like standard summer tyres. Don't expect these to feel radically different to what's already on your vehicles.

Certainly not good value when you can get something 90% as good for half the price.

Great all round tyre, not a performance tyre in terms of feel but still really good dry grip, superb in the cold and wet, much better than the nct5's that were fitted, no more traction lights flickering on in the damp. They are what they say on the tin, a decent summer tyre that also excel in the cold, wet and snow, total confidence so no drama for our rear wheel drive cars. Oh yeah, they are really quiet.

So I've had these tyres on over the winter since September. Neither do they seem to excel in any particular situation, nor do they fail in any either, which I guess is what you get in an all season tyre. Very wet handling is good, no aquaplaning and good braking. However on damp greasy roads they do slide a bit. Dry grip is good in a straight line, however in corners there is a bit of jelly like feel that I have experienced before for example in goodyear efficientgrips. It does hold on, but doesn't give you confidence. Snow handling was marginally better than summers, but no way what I was expecting given the hype by motoring journalists. Wear seems reasonable so far, as others have mentioned little stones do get stuck in the tread. It is a quiet tyre. Would I buy again, probably if the price is right. If you like a nice motorway cruise this is probably a good choice. If however you like an enthusiastic drive through the bends its probably not for you.

Replaced set of Falken tyres. Immediately noticed how quiet these tyres are. Definitely much better grip in wet, especially very wet conditions. Too early to comment on wear, but hoping they wear well which will justify higher price than Falkens.

Great tyre with great performance on wet roads, icy roads and hot asphalt during summers also. Great wear and grip also. I never believed in all season tyres, but this Michelin tyre is incredibile, offering almost same experience as winter and summer tyres. Great overall experience.

Bought these to replace Cooper CS6s which I had also used on previous cars [Volvo S80; Saab 95]but found them to be rather harsh ride. The CrossClimates have transformed this. Only fitted 8 weeks ago so unable to comment on wear. Handling in dry and wet very good. Not tried in snow. Handling very controlled towing 1300kg caravan.

Hello everyone

I got to my car, vw golf mk6 in dimension 195/65/15 Crossclimate.

I walked with them around 15,000 kilometers.

The tires were better than I expected.

They are comfortable and pretty quiet for the "V" design pattern.

Excellent lateral grip in the wet cornering.

Before I had two sets of tires, continental "PremiumContact 5" in summer and "TS830" in the winter ... in the same car in the same dimension 195/65/15

What I have noticed so far negative, it is that love turn into an empty wheel, a sudden start.

I attribute this "air design" pattern on the tires.

Then I noticed that during heavy braking earlier lights abs.

You could also say the same ... because if the friction surfaces are loosened ... not expect behavior such as racing "slick" tires.

Either way, we will see how it will be this winter, with snow in my town.

Nice greetings from Croatian

Bought these as a compromise to a full winter tyre and I wasn't disappointed. Dry and wet grip is fantastic, recently had the opportunity to test then in 3-4 inches of snow, it was no problem for these tyres. The biggest difference was the noise, there isn't any- well very little compared to the old Bridgestones that I had on the car. To early to comment on the wear. Would I buy them again? In a heartbeat!

Brilliant compromise for northern UK weather. Great in the wet, good in the dry and offer a level of smow/ice performance comparable to a full winter tyre. Only done 3k miles so can't comment too much on wear, but michelins usually have a good lifespan.
