Frequently asked questions
What is the wet grip class of the Michelin Crossclimate 2?
On the EU tyre label, the Michelin Crossclimate 2 has wet grip class B in every size in our database. A is the best and E the worst. The difference between class A and class E is about 18 m of braking distance from 90 km/h on a wet road.
How long is the braking distance of the Michelin Crossclimate 2 on a wet road?
According to the Pidurdusmaa.ee calculation, the Michelin Crossclimate 2 205/55 R16 stops from 90 km/h on a wet road in about 42 metres (Citroën C3 IV (2024+), without reaction time). The calculation is based on an independent test.
Is the Michelin Crossclimate 2 suitable for an Estonian winter?
Better suited to city driving. The Michelin Crossclimate 2 is an all-season tyre, a compromise between summer and winter. On ice and snow it needs a longer braking distance than a Nordic friction or studded tyre.
How long is the braking distance of the Michelin Crossclimate 2 on ice?
Based on an independent test, the Michelin Crossclimate 2 205/55 R16 stops from 50 km/h on ice in about 105.6 metres (Citroën C3 IV (2024+), without reaction time). Calculated by Pidurdusmaa.ee with the same model as the calculator. Use the calculator to see the result for your own car.
Has the Michelin Crossclimate 2 been independently tested?
Yes. Source: Auto Bild 2023. The Michelin Crossclimate 2 stopped on dry asphalt from 100 km/h in 37.7 m, ranking 1 of 35 tyres. All measured results are in the table above.
What sizes is the Michelin Crossclimate 2 available in?
In the EU tyre register, our database has the Michelin Crossclimate 2 in 92 sizes, for example 155/70 R19, 175/65 R15, 185/50 R16, 185/55 R16, 185/60 R15 and 185/65 R15. As a main factory size it fits cars such as the Audi A6 C9 (2025+), Audi Q3 III (2025+) and BYD Atto 2 (2025+).
