Excellent Tyre. Very sure footed in the dry and decent in the wet, in the snow you have to take it easy but they are ok. the longevity of this tyre is amazing, nearly 46000 miles! Comfort is also excellent. Would highly recommend this tyre if your looking for an all-rounder.

Given 88% while driving a Nissan LEAF Tekna (215/50 R17) on mostly town for 22,000 average miles
22000 miles nearside on the marks and off side about.0.5 millimeter above the marks. Good wet braking and good dry braking. Tire very quiet can't hear them. Only on the front of car fulkens on the back. Good in the snow and ice. Very pleased with them. Sad I can't at this time afford them so will have to go with a cheaper premium summer tire. I suppose you get what you pay for. Car is a Nissan Leaf. Only down side is fuel economy not the best.

Given 88% while driving a BMW X3 2.0d Sport (225/60 R17 V) on mostly motorways for 1,000 average miles
I'm reviewing the tyre as i have a BMW X3 & i have moved from Pirelli Run Flats to the cross climate.
What a difference they have made to the car, quieter, far less jittery and i feel more comfortable now winter is about to take hold.
OK i dont do a lot of snow driving, as i live in the east midlands (water is the problem at the moment) but its nice to know if we do get some of the white stuff i'll be ready for it.
Overall i'm very pleased ... also got a 10% off deal at black circles making the tryes £50 cheaper than the run flats.
I cant really see any RF all season tyres. Im 100% happy ive made the switch

Given 91% while driving a Audi A6 2.0 TDIe C6 model (205/60 R16 H) on mostly town for 30,000 average miles
I have passed 48000km with these tires in 3 years. They gave me an excellent feeling of safety in all condition. They were mostly driven in area (Montengro near sea) where summer temperatures are reaching 40 degree C and on winter the temperature are going around to 0 degree C. Thread depth reduced to 4mm, but this is not the problem. Problem is that small parts of rubber are falling off from tires on front axle even if I made rotation of tires each 10000km. Probably that car is too heavy in front (Audi A6 2.0 tdi C6 model). Anyhow, I strongly recommend these tires, but next one will be other set only due to price because I cannot find price in my area which is close to prices found in EU.

Given 91% while driving a BMW X3 2.0d Sport (225/60 R17) on a combination of roads for 18,000 easy going miles
have had these on my car for 18 thousand miles over 14 months, they are still as surefooted as when new, have driven in 7cms of snow with no issues even up a fairly steep hill, they are comfortable, quiet, hard wearing and dependable.. I estimate I have around 12-18 k miles left before I need to replace them (same again)

Given 84% while driving a Ford Fiesta (175/65 R14 H) on mostly country roads for 38,000 easy going miles
As there are R14s on my fiesta, there is no 'plus' version available. I have replaced the fronts today after 38k miles. They were still legal but under 3mm. The rears still have 4-5mm and I have kept these for now. I fitted the same tyre again on the front as I think they are one of the best tyres I have ever had. Really solid performance all round and great for occasional snow and ice use. The first time in snow I tried an emergency stop somewhere very quiet and nearly went through the windscreen - it was if I was on Tarmac. They might not be 'the absolute best' tyre under every condition (no tyre is) but the performance I have found to be very good in every condition I have driven in and they are certainly better than most average tyres in all conditions. Given the great wear and their relatively cheap price (I paid just £45 each, fully fitted) they are a must to my mind and I was happy to replace like with like.

Given 99% while driving a MINI Clubman (195/55 R16 H) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
Replaced set of run-flats, greatly improved overall feedback, feel so much better.
OK a Mini Clubman drives like a roller skate but now these tyres have reduced the crash bang ride, it's almost like a normal car. Wet & dry grip inspires confidence, wear is very good for the time these Michelin cross climate have been on the clubman.

Given 39% while driving a Citroën C5 (245/45 R18 W) on mostly country roads for 5,000 spirited miles
These were on the car when I bought it and about 2/3rds worn. I've since driven 5000miles and am not impressed - just very disappointed. In fact they are downright dangerous in the wet - the front skates about and the steering goes light as though driving on ice. There was about 2.5mm tread, no uneven wear, and pressures were correct but the last tyres that were this bad were budget ones (Acceleras) not premium ones. I had the fronts replaced with Dunlop Sportmax RT2 and now I have great grip - almost as good as on a dry surface and they were £40 less than replacing them with Crossclimates again.

Given 64% while driving a Skoda Octavia (225/45 R17 V) on a combination of roads for 30,000 average miles
Car came with these tyres fitted. I was happy, as I had had them on a previous car. Well, on this chassis, they are average at best. Distinct understeer, poor wet grip levels, and the noise is getting much worse as the tyres get older. Good in snow and ice, but they seem to overheat when the weather gets hot. Have swapped the front for Eagle Asymmetrics, which are far better. Can't wait to get rid of the rears.

Good tyres except for one realy realy annoying thing these tyres pick up stones, in fact I do not belive there are any loose chipings left on the northern section of the A34, they are all stuck in my tyre treads. However if you enjoy a constant tick tickety tick.tick. from stones stuck in your treads. these may be the tyres for you. This design flaw will stop me ever having these tyres again.

Given 62% while driving a Skoda Fabia 1.4 (185/60 R14 H) on mostly town for 9,000 average miles
The tyres are hazardous in the wet conditions, specially if it's moist. they block really fast. I have never driven a tyre that would be better in snow than on the moist road. If you already own this tyres keep your safety distance...you will need it. Otherwise it performs ok, but braking capabilites and distance is really something you need to watch out for......when completing the performance test on all season tyres, they should complete them with one year old tyres, because after this particular tyre has been exposed to one mild winter it is useless. If you're thinking of all season tyres and you're not in a snowy area, invest in some good summer tyres like good year or continental or even nexen or falken.
And if you live in a colder snowy area and you're looking for an allseason tyre just buy a good low wear winter tyre and drive it all year round with low highway speeds. For a city car, just go with winter tyres.

Best tires for wet road i have ever had. Very good on snow. For ice with water on top one should be very careful as the Grip is not good.
