πŸ’‘ Is the Michelin CrossClimate2 235/45R18 a Good Tire?

The Michelin CrossClimate2 235/45R18 is an all-season grand touring tire designed for mid-size sedans and compact crossovers. It delivers strong dry handling and excellent wet traction thanks to its V-formation tread pattern and thermal adaptive all-season compound. Ride comfort is above average with low road noise, while tread life is competitive for its performance-oriented category. Rated Excellent by TireRack based on 966 consumer surveys, it provides impressive year-round versatility but is not rated for severe winter conditions despite handling light snow well. Currently priced from $242.99, it is available through major online tire retailers.
