I replaced Defenders with CC2s on an Explorer and they’re a much better tire for New England weather.
Owner reviews for tires
Just put on some crossclimates, seem really good the rain so far
They are the best all season’s/all weathers I have ever had. Will be getting another set on our other car soon.
CC2 on both my Van and SUV in BC, Canada. Year round performance.
We love our CC2s. They transformed how our Subaru drives. Much better than the original tires.
Es muss nicht unbedingt ein Michelin sein(meiner Meinung nach in allen Größen und Ausführungen das absolute non plus Ultra)
That 3.5L V6 is buttery smooth and powerful — proper sleeper sedan feel.
Cabin’s still super comfy, feels premium even today.
Reliable engine if maintained right, and new Yokohamas are a good sign someone cared.
You’ll definitely stand out — not many V6s left running around.
It drinks fuel like crazy. Expect 5–6 km/l in city, maybe 9 on highways if you drive easy.
Honda never sold too many V6s, so some parts can be pricey or take time to source.
The timing belt change is expensive (₹50–70k job with labour and water pump).
Regular service at a good garage will be around ₹15–20k; authorised service centers will charge more.
VCM (cylinder deactivation) can act up — oil burning or misfires if not maintained properly.
Suspension and mounts wear faster due to weight; replacements are expensive.
Low resale — not many buyers for a thirsty V6, so you’ll have to love it enough to keep it.
Big car in tight cities — parking and ground clearance can be annoying.
Insurance and taxes higher due to engine size (>3L category).
Heat management — some owners complain about heat soak in slow traffic; check radiator and fan condition.
35x12.50r18 Hankook Dynapro AT2's AT's(not made anymore) After getting my steering fixed I decided to try the chalk test just out of curiousity. They were always at 35psi and it was rough, I lowered down to 34 still rough.
I wouldn’t own take pirelli scorpions if someone paid me … they were horrible for me , in 2 inches of snow absolutely horrible
Uniroyal in my opinion is a lower grade in tire in general, they are not what they used to be... I have PowerPaws on my Corvette right now, and they are coming off in the spring.
