Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tires; a tick marks the tire ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.
Head to head in 5 tests, 2023 to 2025
Each row is one published test in which both tires ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Point at or tap any spoke for both tires' figures.
In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 118 ft stop against 112 ft is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 97%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow. 5 measurements recorded in only one shared test are left off; every measurement is in the table further down.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.
Scores beyond the shared tests

Owners generally rate the Michelin CrossClimate 2 highly, most often praising its dependable all-weather grip with standout snow traction and strong dry and wet grip for an all-season tire. Comfort is commonly reported as very good and a sizeable minority also find it quiet, though road noise is a recurring talking point with roughly one in eight owners complaining it can hum or rumble. The main consistent drawback is efficiency: around one in seven owners report noticeably worse fuel economy/EV range (rolling resistance). A smaller but meaningful group also criticise wet handling confidence, particularly when pushed, even though straight-line wet grip and aquaplaning resistance tend to be viewed positively.
- Excellent snow traction and winter security
- Strong dry grip and traction
- Confident wet grip in everyday driving
- Good ride comfort over longer distances
- Noticeable hit to fuel economy/EV range (higher rolling resistance)
- Wet handling can feel nervous or lack confidence when cornering/braking
- Can be louder than expected on certain surfaces or at speed

All 173 CrossClimate 2 reviewsAfter 2 hot summers the tires are dangerous on wet and cold,
That was actually very much appreciated since i drive them on a GR Yaris mostly on the weekends in the night on snowfall but normal use would be very very dangerous.

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
This head-to-head pits the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season against the benchmark-setting Michelin CrossClimate 2 in the popular 17-inch all-season touring class. Across five shared professional tests from 2023-2025, the Michelin consistently places higher overall, driven by strong winter capability, short dry stopping distances, and outstanding longevity. The BFGoodrich counters with reliable dry manners and notably strong aquaplaning resistance, offering a different balance of strengths.
If you drive year-round through mixed conditions with real winters, the numbers immediately hint at a leader: Michelin dominates dry and wet braking in every shared test and posts class-leading wear mileage (often 25-40% higher). Yet the BFGoodrich isn't outgunned-its repeated wins in straight and curved aquaplaning and competitive snow braking/traction make it appealing for frequent heavy-rain use and value-conscious buyers seeking stable wet safety margins.
Conclusion
Across patterns, Michelin CrossClimate 2 is the more complete tire: shorter dry and wet stops in every test, better wet handling, stronger winter consistency (especially on ice and overall snow handling), and standout tread life that significantly improves long-term value despite a higher purchase price. It also keeps rolling resistance in check, supporting efficiency. These are meaningful, not marginal, advantages for everyday safety and cost per mile.
The BFGoodrich Advantage All Season delivers secure dry behavior and repeatedly tops aquaplaning metrics, with competitive snow braking/traction. But it trails in wet grip precision and braking, and its mileage is consistently lower. Choose Michelin if you prioritize all-round safety, winter assurance, and long-term value; pick BFGoodrich if your priority is confident high-speed water clearance and you want a capable, straightforward all-season at a likely lower upfront cost.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
