Michelin Crossclimate 2 AC
EU tyre label for every size: 3 sizes of this all-season tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Michelin Crossclimate 2 AC is a all-season tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 3 sizes (3 registrations including load and speed variants), for 19″ to 20″ rims.
Wet grip is rated B in every size, fuel efficiency A–B and external rolling noise 71–72 dB. Every size carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF), the mark for tyres tested in severe snow.
The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 255/45 R19 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency A · 72 dB), the weakest 255/40 R20 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency B · 72 dB).
On the EU market since May 2025; the earliest production week registered is 21/2024.
How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other all-season tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (3 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.
Strongest point: wet grip. Weakest point: rolling noise, where most same-size rivals do as well or better.

Estimates from the class ranges in Regulation (EU) 2020/740. A label class is a range, so a real tyre can sit anywhere inside it. Every 3 dB doubles the sound energy.
All 3 sizes
The small figure under each class is the share of same-size, same-season tyres this size matches or beats (“–” when fewer than five tyres share the size).
