Community opinion on the Michelin Agilis CrossClimate is generally positive regarding its winter and wet traction capabilities for heavy vans and trucks, though users note potential trade-offs in rolling resistance and tread wear. Mention of a recall regarding snow traction also introduces mixed perspectives, while commercial vehicle and RV owners frequently consider it as a top alternative.
“Anyone tried Michelin Agilis CrossClimate tires on a Bolt? Following the info from I have picked up some used 15" Sonic wheels for winter use here in Maine. I can get Michelin Ice snow tires in an equivalent 15" size (to match the circumference of the stock tire/wheel) but not Cross Climate 2s. However, this Agilis is available in a near equivalent. It appears to be a heavier tire designed primarily for delivery vans Google AI suggests it has a slightly higher rolling resistance to the CC2s, which many report to have about a 10% hit on range - although any new tire will be less efficient than a well-worn one, so we should take that info with a grain of salt The Michelin Energy Saver tires are obviously more efficient, but also rated poor for use in snow. I'm a bit torn between "proper" snow tires and the Agilis, which I could run all year round One other factor is that smaller wheels tend to be more efficient - to a noticeable extent on EVs, so it just might be a wash as far as efficiency goes Read more”
“Agilis cross climate (LT metric) Not a ton of information in regard to this tire, but so far my experience has been extremely positive. Great traction in the wet and light snow and fuel mileage seems to have improved. I plan to update this post as I put more miles on them. They don’t have the cool factor I concerned myself with as a younger man, but they seem to be an excellent tire. Read more”
“Agilis Crossclimate vs Agilis LTX as a summer tire for a pickup? Daily driver Chevy 3/4 ton pickup. I've got a set of winter tires that I run from Nov-Mar but I need to replace my summer tires. Mediterranean climate, so dry summers. 99% of my driving is city/highway, maybe 1-5 days per year on dry dirt roads. I'd like to go with the crossclimate since they're about $200 cheaper for the set. I guess the Defender LTX just got rebranded Agilis LTX. I know the Defender LTX is a very popular light truck tire. Y'all think I can get away with the crossclimate and save a couple hundred bucks?

“Agilis CrossClimate all-weather cargo van tire So I had an electrician over to my house yesterday (in Michigan), and I saw his Ford Transit had the Michelin Agilis CrossClimate all-weather truck/van/cargo tire. I asked him how it was. He told me that the stock tires would get completely stuck even on plowed roads that had the tiniest bit of snow or ice left. But with the Agilis CrossClimate, he hadn't gotten stuck anymore. So I thought that was a cool story I would share. FYI, Toyo makes the Celsius Cargo, which is another all-weather tire for cargo vans and trucks. P.S. Some Agilis CrossClimate tires have a recall. Read more”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
