You can get a good all weather tire with 3PMSF rating for less than the CC2s. See Vredestein Quadtrac Pro, Falken Aklimate, and Altimax 365AW. All of these will be cheaper than the Michelins but will provide long tread life and good performance in snow + cold temps. I put the Quadtrac Pros on my mom's Impreza a couple years ago (Chicagoland area) and they've been great. So much better than the Firestone FT140s it came with from the factory.
On the truck I have some Vredestein Pinza AT tires which are quite beefy and snow tire rated but also pretty smooth on the highway.
I just replaced mine with the same that it came with. Decent tires got 55k out of them.
Vredestein Wintrac Pros on OZ racing wheels. Under 2k for the set. Fun when it's dry with a 170+ top speed rating. And grippy on ice and snow. I run it 99-98 percent of the time.
I like em. And they ride way better than stock. Didn't have problems last winter but granted it's been a while since a true blizzard.
Oh, I'm also on my third set of tires. If you are looking for longevity for your tires, buy the Vredestein tires. They are the only tire I buy now and they are on all of my cars.
Anyway, for what it is worth, I tried the 275/35ZR-21 Vredestein Ultrac Vorti+ XL both on and off track earlier this year. It is still a summer performance tire. Off track, I was seeing slightly improved efficiency over the factory P Zero, but the Ultras were slightly noisy on rougher roads (no foam inserts); on the track, for the first couple of laps, they were decent (plenty good enough for spirited driving), but driving to the max lap after lap they got squirrely and very vocal.
These are the worst tires I've ever used. At 8000 miles they needed to be replaced. All four tires had even wear they're not worth the price that Firestone charges for them.
We’ve had a HORRIBLE experience with Vredestein tires. We put them on my son’s Acura TSX, and 20,000 miles later all four are shot and need to be replaced. The front two are BALD. And by “bald” I mean BALD all the way across the tire.
