Michelin CrossClimate 2 Tires
The Michelin CrossClimate 2 is a performance and high performance, all weather tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model is EV-Ready, meaning these tires are compatible with both electric and traditional vehicles. Michelin offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this tire model.
The model offers a comfortable driving experience thanks to the special PIANO Noise Reduction Tuning. This technology is able to reduce the noise heard by passengers thanks to the tread design that is able to negate sound waves generated throughout the performance. The tread and road noise is reduced before they reach the vehicle’s cabin, allowing the passengers to enjoy a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
The tire’s tread also improves controllability and driving stability. The 3D SipeLock technology and the V Ramp chamfers work together to generate friction at the moment of braking, shortening the braking distance. The tread design manages to maintain consistent road contact, improving steering response time and driving stability. The tire responds faster and more precisely to the driver’s commands, allowing him to maintain constant contact with the road surface. The shoulder design provides additional biting edges, improving the overall cornering ability. This promotes a better and safer driving experience.
The tire is able to provide excellent traction throughout all weather conditions thanks to the adaptive thermal compound and the directional tread design. These work together to provide excellent dry, wet, and winter weather traction, while a strong compound prevents heat build-up at high speeds. The angled lateral groove design is able to prevent the risk of hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from the footprint, maximizing the road contact. The tire’s two-ply polyester casing and the supporting two steel belts are able to maintain the tire’s excellent shape at high speeds, allowing it to perform safely.
All weather tires receive the three mountain peak and snowflake (3PMS) symbol for their exceptional winter weather performance. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee safer year-round durability. This ensures their true and secure driving ability throughout the year.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
