Michelin CrossClimate+ Review

Some all season tires are capable of excellent traction in all weather conditions, including harsher winter conditions. Such tires are made for all weather performance, but are still branded with the three mountain peak and snowflake symbol granted for winter tires. These tires combine excellent all weather traction and durable performance in various temperatures.

Priority Tire offers numerous all weather tires for sale. One such model is the CrossClimate+ manufactured by Michelin. These tires guarantee excellent all weather traction, great high speed controllability and even a lengthened tread life. Furthermore, the tire has a 40-50,000 mile treadwear warranty.

Michelin offers a 40,000 mile warranty with W and Y speed rated sizes and a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with H and V speed rated sizes of this model.

All Weather Performance

All season tires which received the three mountain peak and snowflake symbol are capable of securely performing in versatile temperatures. They are able to conquer all weather conditions, including harsher winter weather situations.

The CrossClimate+ utilizes its directional tread design and all season compound to boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The directional pattern, with the siping detail, increases the grip on the road surface while the tires are in motion with additional biting edges. On the other hand, the compound maintains the rubber flexibility and keeps the tire pliable in various temperatures, from the heat of summer to colder winter conditions, which ensures a secure year round driving experience. This combination ensures the tire’s safer all weather performance as it maintains its surface grip at all times.

The tread design also avoids hydroplaning. The tread’s one zigzag circumferential and numerous angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint. In this manner, the tire prevents slush and water from cutting off its surface contact, which further enhances the wet and winter weather driving safety levels.

Handling and Controllability

The tread design upgrades the driver’s control over the vehicle in versatile weather conditions. As tires have to maintain their contact with the surface contact, their performance affects the vehicle’s controllability and driving safety levels.

The CrossClimate+’s tread design upgrades the surface contact throughout the tire’s performance. The better road contact increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s instructions is enhanced, while the structural stability is guaranteed throughout the tire’s lifetime. The directional tread design upgrades the braking ability as well. The directional tread pattern creates friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, significantly shortening the braking distance.

The reinforced construction upgrades the high speed driving durability. The reinforced twin steel belt internal structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the high speed pressure affecting the model. In this manner, the tire’s shape does not deform during its high speed performance, guaranteeing a secure driving experience.

Longer-Lasting Tread Life

Tires which offer extended service lives are more desirable on the tire market. Their lengthened usability makes them more cost efficient in the long run, making them a good investment. Such tires are manufactured with versatile technologies to lengthen their usability and tread life.

The CrossClimate+ improves the tread life with the tread design and the durable all weather compound. The tread design’s optimal pattern enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoid irregular wear formations across the tread area. The tread’s reinforced compound keeps the rubber flexibility throughout the drive. This strengthens the compound against the driving pressure affecting the tire, which makes it resistant to tread wear. The ensured slower and even wear manner guarantees a longer lasting usability and tread life.
