I live in the sf bay area and have cross climate 2s on a camry. They are great for foggy and rainy weather. Also have used them in Tahoe and Donner, california. I like them quite a bit. Great traction for my usage.
Owner reviews for tires
I love my cross climates and will only ever drive them. I also have a fear of driving in rain so rain performance is a must for me. I literally couldn’t hydroplane if I tried. They are quiet too. I will never own anything else got 65k out of my first set
CC2 is a great choice! Have had them on a few different Subaru’s. If you’re in Idaho as your name would allude, you’ll love them! Rolling resistance is good. For context, my new 2026 Limited XT Outback is averaging just over 25.5 mpg with them on. Car is still going through break in too. Also have worn them through the summers on my old Outback and have gone to numerous trailheads and such.
While not a 200tw tire the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 (340tw) not only costs significantly less but I've ran them with excellent grip on my WRX.
Do some research if you haven't heard of Vredestein tires. These things are incredible in the snow and routinely get excellent reviews.
Ran the Schwalbe marathons (700x25) for a couple of years but still had puncture issues on gravel/rough roads. Switched to the Continental Gatorskins (700x28) and it's a world of difference; didn't have a single puncture this season.
I ran a set for 45k kilometres on my TJ with suspension aligned nicely and liked them. Hard tyre, so wet grip when cold is below average.
My AWD Volvo sedan came with Pirelli All Season tires. Even have the official VO on the sidewall : made just for Volvo.
My wildpeaks only lasted a little over 18k miles or 30,000km
I felt they were more of an aggressive appearing road tyre
I had the AT3s, definitely the opposite experience in my case as I don't recommend them unless you spend most of ur time on pavement
but left me unimpressed
only issue i have is the car eats tires, 10-12k miles a set currently
