That sounds fantastic! What type of driving do you mostly do? I wonder if that can influence their durability.
I’ve done highway and city driving with both sets, and they both performed well. But weather conditions definitely changed how quickly they wore down. Anyone else notice this?
Some say the Primacy excels in warmer climates, while the CrossClimate 2 is better in colder conditions. Is that true? Could that affect tread longevity, maybe?
I can’t say I’ve really run into issues with either tire type, but I maintain good practices as a habit. You guys have me tempted to try CrossClimate 2 for my next set!

Haha, I have no data on warmth affecting tires, but I find that a good alignment keeps them from balding! Plus, winter tires for winter is a must!

I’m leaning towards the Michelin Primacy. The performance in wet conditions has been great for me, especially with the comfort level. But are they worth the extra cost compared to the CrossClimate 2?
I’ve had similar thoughts! The Primacy does come at a premium, but the durability and comfort make it worth considering, especially for long drives.
Don’t forget the CrossClimate 2 has excellent all-season capabilities! They’re perfect for varying climates and might save you money in the long run since you won’t need to switch tires.
That’s a good point! If I live in an area with drastic weather changes, maybe the CrossClimate 2 would be the smarter investment.
I recently switched to the CrossClimate 2 and noticed improved traction in rain and snow. They’re a bit softer than the Primacy, which adds to comfort but might wear out faster. Worth considering if safety is your priority!
Thanks for your input! Safety is definitely a priority for me. I guess it really comes down to your driving conditions.
I’ve been a fan of the Michelin Primacy for years! They provide fantastic performance and longevity, but if you’re on a tight budget, the CrossClimate 2 is a solid alternative.
I’m really curious about how the comfort levels compare. Do the Primacy tires feel significantly different than the CrossClimate 2, or is it more of a subtle change?
From experience, the Primacy offers a smoother ride for highway driving. But you might sacrifice some grip compared to CrossClimate 2 in adverse weather conditions.

It’s tough making this choice! Both of them have strong points. I think I might end up flipping a coin at this rate!

Haha! Maybe just go for a test drive if you can. Experience is the best way to decide!
Ultimately, I believe the investment in any good tire is justified if it enhances your driving experience and keeps you safe on the road. Trust your intuition!
