Grip on slushy ice was not as good as grip on fresh snow.

Have ran the original CrossClimates for a couple of years now up in Cumbria. Wet and dry performance has been great, I don't push the limits but do drive fairly quick when I need to, usually I try to drive as economically as possible. They have worn really evenly across the tread and never really felt like a worn tyre like others usually do as you get below 3mm. Michelin weren't lying about their efforts to maintain performance as the tyre wears, while I'm sure it does change, it doesn't seem like it. They've also been very stable regardless of the temperature.

Saw snow twice, the first time was maybe 1-2 inches down but small FWD estate that was 4-up managed a 13 degree uphill incline covered in snow and slush without too much drama. It wandered laterally a little bit but once it found grip it was away, not bad considering the tread would have been at around 3.5mm at that point in time. The 2nd time with newer tyres, the ol' Beast from the East struck us and our village was cut off for a few days as we'd had over a foot of snow down. Needless to say it caused trouble and even the farmers in their tractors were spinning their drive wheels hunting for grip. The problem was a 2" thick layer of ice sitting underneath all the snow. On day 2 I cleared the snow from around the car and attempted to move it, silly idea that was. Looking back, I don't think anything other than studded tyres would have worked due to the ice, even a metal shovel struggled to break it up.

All in all they have been good tyres, no scary moments to speak of. I agree with many of the test results regarding aquaplaning as it does seem a weakness compared to other tyres I've used in the past and they tend to bounce through deep puddles rather than cut through them. On the open road in heavy rain though I've not had any aquaplaning issues but then most of my driving is very rough country lanes. Which not only harbour endless puddles and potholes but also seem to shred tyres faster than normal. They only had 6mm tread when new which was disappointing, hopefully the CC+ will have improved on this.

These tyres perform really well in dry, and especially they surprised me positively in wet conditions. The ride comfort is ok and they're not noisy. However taking in account that this is, after all, a summer tyre modified for snow and ice, their winter performance is actually not that great. Don't get me wrong, they perform way better than summer tyres on snow, slush and ice but not nearly as well as a good winter tryre. They will get you through mild winter conditions if you drive carefully. However don't expect them to be good in serious and long winter conditions. These tyres will give you about 40-50% winter performance of a real winter tyre. Grip on snow and slush is acceptable, but cornering is really iffy. Since where I live we have about 2-3 months of snowy conditions per year, these tyres are acceptable for me, but if you live in a place where winter is long and conditions are rough, it'd be dumb to use these as winter tyres and expect decent performance.

This is the first time i have used all season tyres, having previously used winter tyres on a different car, but decided for cost sake and not having to change tyres twice a year, to go for Michelin CrossClimate+ and ehat a revelation these tyres are, all the reviews ive read rave about them, and i whole heartedly agree, they are tremendous on wet roads and feel great on dry roads.

They are quiet in use, but if i was to make one observation they feel a bit like runflats as the side wall seems quite stiff and going over ridges in the road you do feel it more than on some other tyres ive used, but bearing in mind the confidence these tyres give on wet bends and roundabouts this is a minor thing to my mind.

Would i fit these again, absolutely but they're not cheap, but if they last a couple of winters it all evens out.

My original CrossClimate tyres were fitted back in late January 2016, I have since done over 60,000 miles/96,560 km in nearly 34 months! They are 205/55/16 size, driven in South of England conditions. We did have a few days of bad snow in places, these tyres got me out and gave me confidence on the road. But they feel like a good summer tyre in the dry and wet which was the main thing! At that mileage in nearly 3 years, longevity is legendary! Ultimately I doubt many tyres will match on longevity which is the reason I will stick to the Michelin CrossClimates. I am looking forward to the Plus model as performance of tyre stays more consistent on wearing, and that is a great thing!

Purchased set of 4 Michelin CC in late October 2015. So 3 years old with 10.8k mileage mostly town with some M-Way in between. My recent MoT says tyre treads are OSF 5mm, NSF 5mm, OSR 5.5mm & NSR 5.5mm with the brand new tread being 7mm so just under half worn. Excellent road holding on all dry surfaces. Impressed with performance in the snow early 2018. In the wet generally very good. Noticed that when accelerating & turning sharply left in the wet the front tyres do give up a bit of grip & slip just a fraction before holding again. Just have to adjust my driving to avoid this happening. Always had Michelins on this Scenic so difficult to compare other than the tread patterns look different from memory. Driving on rough roads one does feel the feedback coming through the tyres. Would recommend until something surpasses them versus cost.

Excellent tyre and they work on snow as well. They are certainly quieter than the Contis fitted originally to this car. Handling is great and wear is phenomenal (normal changing time on Contis is about 18k) - the dealers could not believe the mileage when I was in for a service. Combined with the car's 4-wheel drive, snow is no problem. Will definitely be buying these again.

These tyres were so good on two other cars, that I put them on my Octavia. BIG mistake. The steering became optional. Excessive understeer, low front end grip and plenty of roll. Worse still was, as they wore down, they were like having skis on when it rained. At about 4mm they were so bad in the wet that I had to have them replaced. Now on Goodyears, and the grip has returned. Won't be chancing the Crossclimate+, as it's not meant to be as good in the wet!

Incredible tyres! Bought them in October 2015 and I'm still driving them, over 60.000km on Audi A6 Allroad 4x4! Tyre wear is fantastic, I can still drive on them for at least 10000km, but I'll buy new set of CrossClimate+ for original dimension (245/45/18)...

Dry handling is perfect, on wet surface they behave very good but sometimes they do skid in sharp turns, but that might be because of my heavy foot on powerful 4x4. Snow performance is... well, it drives on snow, which is everything I need... :) Noise ... what noise?

In any case, HEAVY recommendation, especially to Audi A6 drivers!

Best all round tyre we've ever had - over 40,000 miles of hardish driving & still going strong although rears are now worn out - unfortunately Michelin no longer make an 'all season tyre' in R20 295/40 size!! I wonder why - guess it;s because they last TOO long!

The tyre seems to perform well in UK conditions. However it seems prone to punctures. I have picked up a
4 punctures in a relatively short amount of time. Other tyres I have used have not had the same problem. I doubt I will replace them with the new “plus” tyre unless The problem has been resolved. Maybe the Continental AllSeasonContact is a better bet.

After about two years and 25.000km i am very happy with these tyres!Are very good.I feel safe,and i know everytime i have the control of my car.
