These tyres are designed to provide excellent performance in various weather conditions. We will analyse their strengths and weaknesses based on test results and reviews from various sources, including Autoklub ČR, AutoBild, and user feedback.


Michelin CrossClimate 2


The Michelin CrossClimate 2 is a successor to the popular Michelin CrossClimate, with an 89% rating on our website. This tyre is manufactured in Italy and is part of Michelin's all-round category.


In the Autoklub ČR test, the CrossClimate 2 took the first position out of 10 tyres. It excelled in aquaplaning, dry braking, snow acceleration, snow traction, and wet handling. AutoBild also ranked it first out of 32, with top scores in dry braking, exterior noise, snow braking, snow cornering, snow traction, and rolling resistance.


Some of the strengths of Michelin CrossClimate 2 include:


  • Excellent snow properties

However, the tyre's performance could be improved in terms of lateral grip on wet surfaces, mileage, and overall cost-efficiency.

Some of the key advantages of the Nexen N Blue 4 Season are:

  • Affordable price


On the other hand, the tyre's weaknesses include understeering on wet and dry surfaces, longer wet braking distances, and increased rolling resistance.


Verdict


Overall, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 outperforms the Nexen N Blue 4 Season in most tests, making it the better choice for all-round performance. However, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season offers a more budget-friendly option with satisfactory results, especially in winter conditions.


It is essential to consider your driving habits, location, and budget when choosing between these two tyres. If you prioritize performance and safety, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is the better choice. If affordability and mileage are more critical factors for you, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season could be a suitable alternative.
