Michelin CrossClimate2 | 29611 Tire sku-107053908 XL

The Michelin CrossClimate2 | 29611 is an all-season 235/60R18/XL 107V tire, listed in Tires by Vehicle with color Other, SKU sku-107053908 and UPC 086699296115. Michelin describes the CrossClimate 2 as a year-round passenger and crossover tire using a new tread compound and directional design. Its predecessor, the CrossClimate+, earned top scores in Consumer Reports' November 2019 performance all-season tire tests and was rated "most recommended" in TireRack.com consumer ratings for grand touring all-season tires. Those rankings refer to the predecessor. Michelin says its worn CrossClimate 2 stopped more than 50 feet sooner than a Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady from 50 mph in wet tests. In another comparison with four competitors, the other tires were still moving at 24 mph or more when it stopped. Michelin reports dry stopping distances up to 16 feet shorter than those four competitors and, even when worn, up to 31% better snow traction. The tire has a 3-peak mountain snowflake rating. Michelin also reports up to one additional year of wear, or more than 15,000 miles, against four leading competitors, using a U.S. Department of Transportation average of 13,500 miles driven annually. It says the tire lasts 11–23% longer than the Continental CrossContact LX25 and PureContact LS, Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady and Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack. Its V-formation tread and 3D-SipeLock are designed to spread forces for wear, grip and dry handling. Michelin says its PIANO Noise Reduction Tuning produces road noise as quiet as or quieter than the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady and Bridgestone QuietTrack in internal tests. The directional tread indicates installation orientation; Michelin says periodic front-to-back rotations support even wear.
