Why choose the Michelin CrossClimate2 in 255/45R20?
Built for premium crossovers, performance SUVs, and larger EVs: The 105V XL rating gives this size extra load capacity for heavier trims, passengers, cargo, and EV or hybrid applications.
Severe-snow rated all-season traction: The CrossClimate2 carries the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol, giving shoppers a strong year-round option for rain, dry highways, cold mornings, and light to moderate winter driving.
Confident wet and dry stopping: Michelin engineered the CrossClimate2 for reliable braking in changing weather, including wet pavement performance as the tire wears.
Directional V-shaped tread design: The tread pattern helps move water and slush through the contact patch while supporting stable handling and everyday comfort.
Touring comfort for daily miles: This tire is a strong match for commuters, family vehicles, road-trip SUVs, and EV or hybrid drivers who want a planted, quiet ride without switching to a dedicated winter tire.

CrossClimate2 Customer Reviews
Some off road. My tread life response indicates I don't know yet.
Sitting on BMW X5, The tires are smooth, grip well in mixed weather including light snow, quiet, and look good. Very happy with them. Rotated infrequently and still wearing evenly with tread left that would match the expected life span.
