BEST TIRES FOR CROSSOVER VEHICLES

Crossover vehicles (sometimes shortened to CUV), offer increased cabin and storage space compared to their sedan counterparts but are more efficient and smoother to drive compared to SUVs. They tend not to have super high powered engines or be tuned for specialized performance, but there are exceptions.

Crossover tires are engineered to handle the specific needs of CUVs, which tend to be heavier than passenger cars and have similar or slightly larger tire sizes. While there is no official crossover tire category, many tire manufacturers have released CUV specific models to accommodate their unique needs.

We’ve compiled a list of our favorite and best performing crossover tires to get you started.

Michelin CrossClimate2

Topping off our list of the best crossover tires is the Michelin CrossClimate2, a big favorite of ours thanks to its all-weather versatility, quiet ride, and Michelin level performance.

The CrossClimate2 utilizes Michelin’s Thermal Adaptive Tread Compound to adjust to changing road conditions for beautiful control in wet, dry or light snowy conditions. It boasts a three-peak mountain snowflake rating for severe weather. 3-D SipeLock tech offers amazing grip, premium ride quality and stability.

The CrossClimate2 is designed with a directional tire with a “V-formation” tread which channels water away from your tire’s contact patch for maxed grip. Although not a crossover-specific tire (it comes in a pretty huge range of fitments), its structural integrity and versatile design make it a spiffy CUV tire.

Michelin backs this tire up with a respectable 60,000-mile tread warranty.

The Michelin CrossClimate2 makes an appearance on our best all-season tires for snow list, too!
