From the video

Answers: How does the Michelin CrossClimate 2 perform as an all-season tire in all four seasons?

• all-season tire performance
• tire tread patterns
• compound glass transition temperature
• wet and dry traction in tires
• tire noise and shoulder design

What it concludes

• The Michelin CrossClimate 2 offers winter tire-level snow traction while maintaining long-wearing characteristics and summer performance.
• A rounded contact patch on the CrossClimate 2 promotes wet traction and even wear without relying on open shoulders that increase tire noise.
• Michelin uses full-depth tread features in the CrossClimate 2 so performance does not degrade quickly as the tire wears down.
• Third-party testing shows the Michelin CrossClimate 2 matches or beats previous all-season tires in wet and dry braking and handling while offering massive improvements in snow.
