Michelin CrossClimate2 Tread Life Test & Review: How Long Can It Last?!

Here’s a quick video detailing the Michelin CrossClimate2 all-weather tire and the long-lasting performance it brings to the table when compared to the Bridgestone WeatherPeak.

The tire size tested is 225/60R18 100H on a 2022 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited and the 3rd-party test for tread life was conducted on a Honda CR-V.

Here are some more details regarding the tread life test:

The Michelin CrossClimate2 tire outlasted the Bridgestone® WeatherPeak® tire by more than 36,000 miles on a treadwear test, delivering nearly twice the tread life.1

1 Based on U.S. Department of Transportation Average Annual Miles per driver (13,500 miles) and Desrosiers Automotive Consultants estimate of annual average kilometers driven in Canada (23,000 km), and on a treadwear test using tires in size 225/60R18 100H on 2018 Honda CR-Vs where the Michelin CrossClimate2 tire showed an estimated life (based on calculating the most-worn groove of a rotated set) of 77,590 miles versus the Bridgestone® WeatherPeak® at 41,127 miles. Actual on-road results may vary.

I am on my second set of CrossClimate2 now. My first set from a local nation chain store I drove for 3 years 58, 500 miles and sold it while they are still within the 60, 000 miles / 5year warranty with tread depth of 5mm (6/32nd) left from 10mm new. I sold them for 50% of what I paid when new and applied them to the second set at Costco due to their excellent free 60, 000 miles /5year free balance, rotation and repair warranty with 3 year roadside assistance from Micheline once registered. Last month after driven the second set for 25, 000 miles I got a nail next to the side wall that was too weak to repair by Costco and they had to replace the tire. It costed me total of only $27 based on the pro-rated warranty due to the tire only decreased 1mm tread depth from 10mm to 9mm. I will keep on buying and selling these tires within the warranty period to get new fresh flexible treads which would have more flexible and safer tread compound than a set of winter tires that has been sitting around for 1/2 of the time and driven only in winter for 7 years. This way I will ever need to be think or paying the changing back & forth between All Seasons and Winter tires regardless if there is a 60 degree temperature fluctuations between season or one warm early spring week follows by another week of snowy & icy stormy weather. I just need to make sure the tire pressure is set correctly frequently (base on the cold tire temperature standard of 68F/20C) and enjoy the ride every time.

I just bought 4 new Michelin Cross climate 2 tires to replace my Bridgestone Ecopia tyres that came with my brand new 2024 Subaru Forester and those were also great tires for driving also but are not winter rated and living in Northern Alberta Canada I need winter tires.
I opted for the Cross climate 2 tires with some research before buying because they are winter rated with the 3 snow flakes symbol on the tire sidewalls + you do not need a second set of tires and rims to drive the other seasons.
I did do sound testing with my audio feedback sensor I bought to see if there where a difference in DB audio, I'm pleased to mention that the audio feedback on the Michelin Cross climate tires are 1-2 DB quieter than my factory new Bridgestone tires (I will sell my Bridgestone tires now) . Michelin Cross climate 2 tires handle well and look aggressive also for the winter conditions that we have in Northern Canada with slush, snow and ice that makes driving a little scary sometimes. Very happy camper!!
