Why choose the Michelin CrossClimate2 in 265/45R21?
Built for luxury SUVs, performance crossovers, and EV utility vehicles: The 108V 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.

Customer Reviews
Expensive but absolutely worth it. A little loud on certain types of grooved pavement but not excessive. Also a small gas mileage penalty (approx 2 mpg with my Legacy) but also absolutely worth it. They are unstoppable in rain and can handle anything a Chicago winter can dish out.
