Michelin cross climate 2 in winter

[Q70sGuy]

I wanted to post a small review of the Michelin cross climate 2 for the AWD q70 as I’ve owned them since the summer and might help some people.

I live near Montreal in Canada and we basically experience the harshest weather from winter. Yhe first snowfall had me a bit worried but actually since daily driving this thing I’m quite impressed. The car handles snow better than most and I would definitely recommend these tires to avoid switching from summer to winter tires constantly (it’s the law here).

They’re pretty smooth and comfortable, but they don’t have a rim guard edge so I do wish I got them wider especially with how the snow can hide some low curbs. They’re oem on 20s right now with the 245.

They’re not the quietest tire but I wouldn’t say they’re very noisy either. Somewhere in between.

I highly recommend it for any other northerners who have AWD and snow. I leave the car in sport mode too, unless it’s fresh snowfall.

Happy to answer any specific questions.

I was 3hrs south of you in Albany, NY and yeah, good tires to handle snow are super important. Glad you like these!

I now prefer the southern US where snow is extremely rare .

Unfortunately there is no south Canada to move to although on the west coast there is much less of a winter besides at altitude.

Anyway these are game changing to me - not needing two sets of tires is a big deal so I hope people give these kind of tires a chance.

I'm sure Trump will be happy to make Louisiana and Quebec sister states.
