I have some on my M3SR+. I'm in Utah, and they handle great in the snow here. They're a bit louder than the stock Primacy MXM4s. But they last a lot longer. The stock tires had to be replaced at 17k miles. The CC2s are at 15k miles now and still have ~7/32" of tread left. I haven't noticed any change in efficiency. I still get ~250Wh/mi average over the course of the year.
Owner reviews for tires
I purchased these tires for a road trip from Northern WA to So Cal.
It had no issues and it made me feel so safe. We drove through much rain, and some icey conditions.
A month later, I took it over the mountain passes of WA. Snow occurred a few days before, so the roads were plowed but still snowy/icey. Drove only 35mph but it handled like a dream. Never fish tailed once or felt loss of control.
Duirng normal WA state weather. Drives without issue. I don't notice any noise differences compared to my stock tires.
Replaced with Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. So much better! Smoother and firmer
We ended up replacing ours at 25k with Vredestein Quatrac Pro’s from Tire Rack. I highly recommend them.
Put on a set of Michelin CrossClimate2's and they are amazing.
yes on my 2016 they only lasted about 30k , replaced them with Michelin defenders they were still good at 106k when i traded it in for a 2022 CX-9 Signature. Next year will be replacing it with the Michelin again
Rikens are fine. They're quite a soft tyre, probably because like you said Michelin make them butbthat does meant the grip is decent.
I have a set of the eurocross soft and Verity winter tires, and I've been pretty happy with them.
Not a fan of the OEM Continentals on my 2019 here in Western PA. Will switch to Vredesteins Quatrac Pro. I was pleased with them on the Tiguan and the wife\u2019s Volvo in winter driving and all around.
I'm on ZII's on my "street wheels" and while they're fine for around town, I've never liked them from a performance perspective. Compared to the purpose built 200TW cheater tires (e.g. RE71R, RT660, RS4) the ZII's give up a LOT of grip and probably seconds per lap at a racetrack.
