Renault Scenic III 1.6vvt
(205/55 R16)
on a combination of roads
for 10,800 average miles
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 tire 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 tires 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 tires. Would recommend until something surpasses them versus cost.

Excellent tire 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.

Skoda Octavia

These tires 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!

Audi A6 Allroad 3.0 TDI

Incredible tires! Bought them in October 2015 and I'm still driving them, over 60.000km on Audi A6 Allroad 4x4! Tire 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!

Porsche Macan Diesel S

Best all round tire 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 tire' in R20 295/40 size!! I wonder why - guess it;s because they last TOO long!

The tire 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 tires I have used have not had the same problem. I doubt I will replace them with the new “plus†tire unless The problem has been resolved. Maybe the Continental AllSeasonContact is a better bet.

Vauxhall Vectra SRI 1.9 (150)

on a combination of roads

Now at 2mm tread after 26,000 miles on the front axle of a Vectra 150bhp SRI CTDI. Incredible low wear rate and so fantastic value for money. They were fitted on 5th December 2015; so 2 and 1/2 years from a set with 394nm of torque to deal with. Still capable of hill starts in snow at 2mm tread depth too. Great wet and dry grip and very comfortable too. I would definitely buy these again as the slightly higher cost provides tires that have lasted more than twice as long as other premium tires.

These tires are fantastic in my humble opinion, they are everything you want on UK roads.

Put these tires to the sword and they were superlative in every respect. Nothing more to be added!

Fantastic tires. Great grip wet and dry and transformed my car from hopeless in the snow to awesome. 15000 miles in and heaps of tread left. I am massively impressed - so much so I have just put a full set on my wife's car.

This is my first impression as I drove only around 3000 miles on those tires here in Ireland. My mazda 3 has a firm suspension and those tires soften the ride quite a bit. At beginning it felt strange, you may feel it is too soft, but after a while I just love it. It calms you down and the car feels more like a cruiser, they are also a bit quieter, especially on motorways, very happy with it. Also, as I was changing them just before 'the Best from the East' winter, had a chance to see if they are as good on snow as advertised. I have many years of experience with dedicated winter michelin tires back in Poland, I can honestly say those crossclimates don't disappoint at all. Had no problems starting and breaking on snow and slush. The conclusion is that perhaps those are the best tires for the current climate here in Ireland (and UK), they give the best of both summer and winter tires without the need of changing them every 6 months.
