Built for sport sedans, performance coupes, and premium daily drivers: The 98V 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.

CrossClimate2 Customer Reviews
Love my tires and my car rides great
My tire application is a staggered set, larger on the rear axle. 100% of my driving experience with these Cross Climate tires is in the Desert Southwest, Las Vegas, Phoenix ect. Dry traction is excellent. Wet traction is virtually untested. Tread wear appears excellent. Tread pattern is visually appealing, if you’re into that sort of thing. I would recommend the Cross Climate tire to anyone that has a staggered setup automobile.
When they were rotated, the Tech said there was showing very little ware.
