Subaru Michelin CrossClimate2 Grand Touring All Season Tire 225/60 R-18

(225/60R-18) Michelin CrossClimate2 Grand Touring All Season Tire - The CrossClimate 2 is Michelin's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of sedans, coupes, station wagons, crossovers and SUVs looking for daily driving comfort combined with confident performance in dry, wet and light snow conditions. The CrossClimate2 is designed as an all-weather tire to meet industry severe snow service requirements qualifying for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol alongside its all-season performance and is intended to function as a one-tire solution for drivers that experience all four seasons but don't receive sufficient snowfall to require a dedicated winter tire.

Details: 

The CrossClimate2 features Michelin's Thermal Adaptive all-season tread compound, molded into a V-Formation directional tread design that is engineered to deliver dry, wet and wintertime performance. Nose Reduction Technology: Michelin utilized their PIANO Noise Reduction Tuning, which uses advanced tread pattern modeling that can tune out airborne noise by augmenting tread element geometry and timing variation. Longitudinal dry grip is achieved by the center portion of the tread, which features blocks that align with fore and aft forces to increase uninterrupted block area contact during acceleration and deceleration. V Ramp chamfers molded into the leading and trailing edges of the blocks also increase braking traction by increasing contact with the road surface under load. Further outboard, the shoulder blocks begin to align laterally with the tread to improve cornering forces and control. 3D technology integrated into the tread supports block rigidity for confident handling and improved traction in inclement weather. The steep angles designed into the tread pattern channel water away from the contact patch, improving hydroplaning resistance (without the need for circumferential grooves). This groove-less pattern evens out load forces to benefit wear characteristics, while creating more biting area for wintertime traction. Snow performance is further enhanced by the Thermal Adaptive Tread compound, ensuring the tire remains flexible at lower temperatures for increased snow traction sufficient to receive the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. Internal construction of the CrossClimate2 consists of a two-ply polyester casing supporting two steel belts, and a polyamide reinforcement further improves high speed stability and performance.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.
