Full depth sipes? I think not. The center “step sipes” are gone. Maybe more is hiding underneath. The shoulder sipes, part of it is gone
Hope the winter traction doesn’t take a dump when the snow dumps
I think those tires will do just fine in the snow.View attachment 110690

These are not the Michelin Premier A/S tires, with Michelin EverGrip technology. The CrossClimate 2's are not advertised has having the Premier's EverGrip technologywatch the sipes get wider as the tyre wears further. There's a bridge there to reinforce the thread blocks when they are still big
I have these tires on the jetta, they are not loud more moderate.How's the noise level?
...As with a winter tire, the MICHELIN CrossClimate 2 benefits from MICHELIN EverWinterGrip technologies developed to optimise its performance in winter throughout its working life. At the same time, MICHELIN EverGrip technologies ensure strong performance in wet weather, all the way down to the tread wear indicator. MICHELIN EverTread technologies, meanwhile, contribute to MICHELIN CrossClimate 2’s longevity by optimising the form of its contact patch to achieve a more effective distribution of the forces during acceleration, braking and cornering.

Assuming these are around when I need tires on my 18 Legacy I will put them on too to replace the OEM tires. Maybe a little less performance but we drive my kids in the car and I would rather have some better wet and snow traction. As I think I stated already, I plan on getting a set for my wife's 14 CR-V in the winter. We also drive the kids in that car and she commutes 80 miles a day. I won't get betting them for my 19 Impreza though. All about the AS 4 right now but by the time I need tires on that car the AS 12 will be out. ;-)I think we have about 8000 miles on my wife’s. They are quieter now than when new. I mentioned somewhere recently they are the best wet weather tire we found for her spin-happy crv. We also just put a set on our Lexus sedan, which has taken the average mpg from 21.x to 20.5 so far. I didn’t notice a mpg drop in the crv, but the v6 Lexus is near embarassing. Hopefuly it evens out and they end up not harming mpg. Noise level is on the lower side. Comfort is great. Grip is high. On center feel is on par with a touring tire, but not as good as a sport tire. Sideways grip is a little less at the edge, but it seems to give good feedback and warning. Mine aren’t broken in yet, so this all could change.
