BFGoodrich Advantage All Season vs Michelin CrossClimate 2

Test Results

Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been five tests which compare both tires directly!

While it might look like the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is better than the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season purely based on the higher number of test wins, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.

Key Strengths

BFGoodrich Advantage All Season

• Excellent straight and curved aquaplaning resistance across tests
• Short dry braking and stable dry handling
• Competitive snow braking and traction for the class
• Good fuel use in some tests and solid environmental ratings

Michelin CrossClimate 2

• Consistently shorter dry and wet braking distances
• Best-in-test wear/mileage in multiple studies, strong value over time
• Top-tier winter performance, especially handling and ice braking
• Low rolling resistance with precise steering and secure dynamics

Real World Driver Reviews

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 behaviour 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 prioritise 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.

Key Differences

• Braking: Michelin wins all shared dry and wet braking matchups (typically 2-5% shorter).
• Wet handling: Michelin steadier grip and precision; BFGoodrich shows earlier under/oversteer.
• Aquaplaning: BFGoodrich leads straight and curved aquaplaning in most tests.
• Winter: Both good on snow braking/traction, but Michelin edges overall snow handling and ice braking.
• Wear: Michelin's projected mileage advantage is large (+14% to +41% across tests).
• Economy/Value: Michelin pairs low rolling resistance with lower cost per 1,000 km despite higher buy-in.

Overall Winner: Michelin CrossClimate 2

Based on the tire test data and user reviews we have in our database, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 has demonstrated better overall performance in this comparison. However, as you can see from the spider diagram above, each tire has its own strengths which should be considered in your final tire buying choice.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
