Michelin CrossClimate 225/55 R18 102 V XL, AO

Tyres bought in size 185/65 R15 for a car that drives basically only in the city. With virtually no winters, I see no need to use and keep two sets of tyres, hence the choice. The tyres are not cheap, but it is still a little cheaper than buying and keeping two sets of tyres for a car that does only about 10,000 km a year. And here they are most suitable. The car drives stably, they do not make any noise. Both on dry and wet pavement is fine. Purchased six months ago and driven in the temperature range +20 to -15. On warm days the car does not float, behaves the same as in the cold. The tyres as new have 8mm of tread. After the mileage of about 6000 km it is less than 0.5 mm on both axles, so they should last a long time, even if the summer will be very hot. I haven't noticed any difference in the car's combustion. The only thing that hurts me is that subjectively in snow, slush it performs worse than Debica Frigo 2 (yes I know tests on YT praise it, but I know my own) from which I switched, and let's agree it was a 2 year old winter tyre, almost with full tread and it is certainly not a premium tyre (costs a little more than 1/2 the price of Michelin Crossclimate). I'd choose them again though, because I'd rather use up a relatively large amount of one tyre in say 5 years and replace it again with a new one than throw away two sets of tyres with almost full tread because of old rubber, or worse still try to drive on aged tyres.... So if you do up to 10k a year and in city traffic, I highly recommend it. If you live in the mountains or do more mileage only 2 sets of tyres and that's how it will stay in my second car.

I bought these tires due to the necessary replacement of summer on the new - changed with Pirelli P7. Tires not yet tested in winter conditions, so I can not speak on the subject, hence the rating 4. Durability do not judge, because I have them too short. What to ride on these tires in summer conditions - in the city are brilliant! There are so quiet that a good class car has the impression - the forgiveness of gas - that the car levitates above the ground. I have previously two other sets of tires in premium and none were so quiet. Tires very well dampen road irregularities. I can say that my Audi A6 class only showed how good and quiet the car. Already the assembly method of the road test, it turned out that they are very well balanced. The burning visibly lower. The road at higher speeds also noticeably quieter, so that, for example. Bars on the side of the expressway on the sections where are acoustically louder and give resistance to safety - with these tires you can not hear! If winter conditions turn out to be as good as in summer, it never buy another tire model. I had my doubts as to their appearance, but they are great, the tread looks very sporty and sidewalls are indistinguishable from other summer. I have no doubt that the tires will cope in winter - especially the last few years show that the tire change does not make sense and will be more than enough to fulfill their role. It is worth investing in these tires and sincerely recommend it! Read more Collapse

Before I bought these tires wondering nearly a month of time. I checked the other tires, I compared etc. I talked with friends about the tires. Sentences were different. Part reborn as saying that there is something to all this is for nothing that there is no such tires which complies with summer and winter tires. I decided to buy tires. After assuming I took off on a tour of 1800 km. I am so far under the impression :). Tire quiet, nicely collects inequality. I was curious effect on wet roads. In Germany not limited stretch of highway pushed the boat out. 196 km / h in the rain, looking for tracks of water flowing over the highway. Probably someone will say that it is stupid but the effect of driving with these tires was and is stunning to me, the car was going like clockwork !!! gentle movement of the steering wheel and all that. The manufacturer has done a good job, as competition is probably already crying. I recommend these tires for those who want to feel 100% safety while driving his car. And I'm still curious winter, I'm sure I share your opinion. For me, the best tires for which so far have ridden Read more Collapse

I have been thinking about buying all season tyres for around for two years now. I have seen different models for 15 and 16 inch wheels. Finally, I decided that because of the price I would use 15 inch wheels. I have long considered a particular model Michelin CrossClimate. In the end, he convinced me a certificate for countries where winter tyres are mandatory. Recently I have been going all the time in the winter so the difference already at the start is quite high - they are much quieter, very well braking, they keep up the road during downpour in the rut. Thanks to the fact that this rather high profile is more comfortable than 16 inch. Interesting is the recurring motif of the Human on the side edge of the tread :) As for the grip on the snow I do not know, but it gives 5 of the tests that I could watch and homologate :) On dry and wet it works very well. How much for this reasonable price - for me the Michelin CrossClimate, revelation :) Read more Collapse

Tires already drove about 1 thousand kilometers along the route, and hundreds of the city. In conclusion I am satisfied. In comparison to the previous practice of tires (Dunlop Winter Sport 3D and Michelin Energy Saver. From winter definitely quieter than the summer too (but keep in mind that it was those tires around 6 years). They run very well, I have no objections. They are not worse than those I had, and there is no problem with the change. It is possible that Dunlopy would be a little better in the snow, but in winter very rarely ride in such conditions (in practice a few days, or not at all). We will definitely be better in transition. Passes are distributed fairly evenly to me during the year, even if they were also moments that other tires would be perhaps better, an average of a year, I believe that CrossClimate are much better. Well, no need to change, periodic balancing can do anytime, off-peak change tires;) Read more Collapse
