That’s awesome to hear, Christopher! I’ve been considering the methods of wear too. Anyone noticed if one tire model tends to wear quicker in specific conditions or driving styles?

My CrossClimate 2s seem to have worn pretty evenly, but I do tend to be a bit of a cautious driver. No heavy braking. I’m curious if anyone has crazy driving habits that might affect tire lifespan?
I’ve definitely played the occasional game of ‘how fast can I take this corner’—whoops! Still, I clocked about 35,000 miles on my WeatherPeaks before they wore down. They weren’t bad even with my driving style!
That’s quite impressive, Munderwood! Just wondering, have you noticed any specific tread patterns that helped with wear over time in either tire model?
The CrossClimate 2 has a unique tread pattern that seems to help with wear. I did a lot of highway driving and I’m nearing 50,000 miles with them, and they still look good. Definitely recommend them!
Wow, 50,000 miles is fantastic! I think I need to get my driving habits checked! What about noise levels? Has anyone felt like one tire is quieter than the other?
The CrossClimate 2s are surprisingly quiet for an all-season tire! But, I do think the WeatherPeak has a bit of an edge in quieter rides, especially around town.
I agree with John! My WeatherPeaks have been a bit quieter too, especially on long drives. The wear has been steady as well, still going strong after 28,000 miles and no sign of quick degradation.
Sounds reassuring! But, I’ve gotta say, the Michelin’s tread wear makes me concerned. Can anyone share experiences dealing with tread separation or unusual wear with either tire?
I had a minor issue with the CrossClimate 2s, but nothing major. Just some uneven wear due to an alignment issue. In general, they’ve performed well through 45,000 miles for me.
I’ve been looking into the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and Bridgestone WeatherPeak for my SUV. The prices seem to vary quite a bit; typically, the Michelin is higher. Is it worth the extra cost?
Great question! While the Michelin CrossClimate 2 might be pricier, it often has better wet performance and a strong warranty. That can translate to better safety and longer lifespan.
I agree with greenjennifer. The warranty on the CrossClimate 2 is solid. If you do a lot of driving in diverse weather, it could be worth the investment.

I’ve heard the Bridgestone WeatherPeak has great customer service, which is a huge factor for me. Sometimes a lower price can come with hidden costs in service.
Definitely! Good customer service can make all the difference. Bridgestone’s prices may be lower, but I wonder if they compromise on performance as well?
That’s a fair point! I read reviews where some users rated the WeatherPeak lower for icy conditions compared to the CrossClimate 2.

While performance is important, let’s not forget about price sensitivity. Sometimes, a budget option like the WeatherPeak does the job well without breaking the bank.
True! But I wonder: how are people handling the long-term costs of these tires, factoring in treadwear and replacement rates?
I’ve seen quite a few complaints about CrossClimate 2 treadwear. If you’re a high-mileage driver, that might be something to consider.
Treadwear is critical! But performance in wet conditions often matters more for safety—especially when you’re on the road a lot.
