CarCareTruth's Analysis

Last reviewed June 2, 2026

TL;DR A 3PMSF all-weather touring tire with UTQG Traction B and class-strong wet braking: Tire Rack data shows it stops up to 56 feet shorter than competitors on worn wet pavement. Owner-odometer data confirms tread life at or past class norms.

What it is and how it performs

The CrossClimate2 covers a wide passenger and CUV range, roughly 16- to 22-inch rims; this page represents the model, not a single size. UTQG grades: Treadwear 640, Traction B, Temperature A. Tire Rack's 2024 test awarded it the top spot in dry braking. Owner-odometer reports confirm real-world life at or past 60,000 miles across vehicle types. The Traction B reflects the all-weather compound's winter bias, not a wet-safety failure; instrumented tests place wet braking class-leading.

Who should buy this, and who should skip it

Right pick for owners wanting genuine winter traction (3PMSF-certified) without a seasonal swap. Skip it if maximum dry performance is the priority; a summer or max-performance all-season scores higher on that axis.

Safety and environmental impact

Cured-rubber-and-steel construction; no chemical-exposure pathway in normal mounting and use. All tires shed tire-wear particles and 6PPD-quinone in road runoff, an aquatic toxicity concern shared across the category.
