As a taxi driver you will soon recoup the extra cost of these tires in no time in the cold snap we are having they have enabled me to keep working in rural Cheshire best thing since sliced tread (bread):-) 5 star

Really good tires that are actually fantastic in all weathers without much compromise on my Golf. 12000 miles and little wear.

Only had the tires a few months but had all weathers including wet slush, deep standing water ice and snow and I’m really impressed with the forward grip, breaking and comfort of these tires. The handling has been excellent and really surprised how easily I drove through 5-6” of snow . I can’t comment of dry hot conditions or on tire wear yet but very happy with the tire so far. If I had to find a negative they lack a little side bite in snow compared to a traditional winter tire.

Been driving Crossclimates 175/65/14 on my Citigo for 6000 miles majorly on the motorways, A roads and B roads. Great grip on both wet and dry, quiet and good fuel economy. Crossclimates definitely can keep you mobile on the roads in the winters. If you do not need to drive to heavy snow covered B road, Crossclimates is one of the best all-season tires you can find.

I've driven on snowy B roads quite a lot this winter. Bear in mind gentle and sensible driving is still required on extremely snowy condition. The grip would be lost immediately if the car cornered too aggressive on snow, however, the grip would be gained again once the car slowed down / traction control kicked in. Bottom line is: Everything was manageable and nowhere near losing control.

Overall I am still very happy with the Crossclimates.

I cant praise these tires enough. They are life savers in wet and snowy conditions. I drive a BMW 5 series rear wheel drive. This is normally leathal in snowy conditions. Using the cross climates I have tacked very steep snowy roads no problem. Wow. Worth forking out for. I paid around £700 for a ser of 4 fitted.

Bought them in September of 2015 and just changed to Crossclimate + (I wanted the new AllSeason Contis, but my tire dealer didn't have them in my dimension so I had to go for the Michelins once again.)

In the first two years they were fine,especially on the wet, on snow (had about 4 days of trying them in those conditions, they were not so good) but then towards 4mm of profile the tire changed drastically for the worse. It became like a plastic tire and quite dangerous.

Hopefully the plus version will be better in this aspect (that's what they promise).

Excellent tires,as a private hire taxi driver and driving a lot of miles safety is paramount and no compromise when it comes to buying tires. Having over many years bought premium brand tires ie continental,Goodyear,Dunlop nothing and I mean nothing comes close to Michelins whether it's summer tires or cross climates for winter use. The Michelins out score the previously mentioned brands as the wear on these tires is fantastic,the Michelins wear evenly across tread and last thousands of miles more. I had cross climates on last winter and although the grip on icy roads far exceeded previous vredestien winter tires there was no snow so I could not comment on performance. Last week we had 5cm of snow and as I was night shift I was mainly driving on virgin snow on main roads and tires were firmly planted on roads at all time and coped easily with hills. Overall these tires have now given me more confidence than ever driving on ice and snow,the front ones have done over 20,000 miles and are nearing winter tread max limit,I will replace them shortly with cross climate+,I would recommend these tires to anyone as they are simply in a league of their own,well done michelin

Excellent grip and I gained 5mpg after switching summer tires for these...
Noticeably more longitudinal grip than just lateral I had before... improved braking accelerating and cornering speeds

I fitted CrossClimate tires to my Lexus CT200H 3000 miles ago. I keep a track off all expenses with an app called Road Trip. I do find these tires much quieter and smoother to run but fuel consumption is much worse. With the mixed bag of budget tires that came with the car I returned 52mpg over 5000 miles. With my Bridgestone DriveGuard Winter tires I also retuned 52mpg over 4500 miles but with the CrossClimate tires I have only managed to average 46mpg over the 3000 miles so far. I bought them thinking I would probably just run one set of tires all year but with the reduction in fuel consumption to that extent I won't buy them again and will continue to run separate summer and writer tires. An 11.5% increase in fuel costs is to much to bare.
I feel just as confident in the wet and dry with these tires as I did with the previous ones. I sorry but I''m not a tire reviewer and this is about as technical as I can be
I haven’t had them long enough to comment on winter performance and as I still have my Bridgestone DriveGuard Winter tires and wheels, I’ve change them over today. The CrossClimates will go back on in the Spring so unless we get late snow it will be a while before I can comment on that aspect of the Tire.

I have a steep him to get out of my street we’re I live and in the snow I got up the hill no problem at all ,so they work .

Great Tire for all round year use, including wet autumn, and occasional winter showers/ice

These tires are excellent in wet conditions, pretty good in the dry and better than summer ones in light snow (1-2 inches).

The volvo has quite a lot of torque and is heavy and I have to go up a long steep hill with curves every day , some tire slippage under the snowy conditions but it did get up. On the flat grip in snow was better than the summer tires which were originally on car (Goodyear efficient grip), but you would expect that. They have performed excellent under any other conditions and are really suited to the wet roads we see in Ayrshire (W Scotland), and you really feel the benefit when its really chucking it down.

The only other experience I have of all seasons was the bridgestone A100 on a Vectra C 1.9 TD and these performed better on the hill in light snow- this may be like comparising apples to oranges however as the cars are very different. A100 not available in tires size otherwise I may have stuck with them as they were good in the wet too. However these tires tended to leave small bits of rubber on the car paintwork (not so with Michelin)

I however get the feeling the volvo would probably need full winters for proper performance.
