π‘ Is the Michelin CrossClimate2 215/45R17 a Good Tire?
The Michelin CrossClimate2 215/45R17 is an all-season grand touring tire designed for mid-size sedans and compact crossovers. It delivers strong dry grip and excellent wet weather traction thanks to Michelin's V-Formation tread design and thermal adaptive all-season compound. Ride comfort is above average with low road noise, while tread life is competitive for its category though not industry-leading. Rated Excellent by TireRack based on 966 consumer surveys, it excels in variable weather conditions but lacks the dedicated winter performance of true winter tires. Currently priced from $227.99, it is available through major online tire retailers.
