I put CC2s on my 17 Corolla. I was worried that it would be overkill, but as someone who has pretty much always cheaped out on tires, the upgrade was unbelievable. I live in Seattle, so we don't get a lot of snow. They handle extremely well in the rain.
I didn't replace my factory Yokohama tires on my 2022 Limited until around 38k miles, and I still had around 1/4" tread left. I wanted better winter tires and replaced them with Michelin Cross-Climate 2 tires with a 60k tread wear warranty. There is a bit more ride noise than with my Yokohama tires, but nothing a few more decibels on the radio doesn't fix
If you're not regularly trekking into the mountains, all-weather tires like the Michelin CrossClimate are great. They perform really well in snow and you don't have to worry about swapping them out annually.
I picked up a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 and they are great tires. Can keep them on year round but much better in the snow than typical all seasons. They are pricey but well worth it IMO.
I have driven 5,000 miles on these tires with no loss in gas milage. I have 2023 Toyota Hybrid Highlander... I drive at 80 MPH on average and still get 28 to 30 mpg. Great tires.
Unless something new dropped recently the Michelin IceX still dominates when it comes to rolling resistance for a snow tire. Comparing them to the stock energy savers in the same weather conditions, I could perceive no decrease in efficiency.
You'll never find a better all around tire. Sure some tires will corner better or handle puddling better but for every condition (which most of us see) they're the best. I've owned them all and for towing 12,000 lbs on and slightly off road I trust Michelins.
For tires, just buy brands that don't spend over 50% of their budget on sponsorship and advertising like Michelin, Pirelli etc...
At Walmart, was $900 for all 4 tires (22 inch rims) balanced and mounted.
They are not as nice as Michelin but I cannot say they are terrible either.
My mom’s cross climate 2s have been the loudest and roughing riding tires she has ever experienced on her prius. And I agree with her.
