Love ‘em. Way better than factory tires (Bridgestone) on our RX. And better than the similar Goodyears from 15 years ago. Very quiet and great handling.
We put them on my wife's crossover/SUV and liked them. The road noise was slightly more than her previous set, which I think was Michelin Primary Tour A/S, if I recall. However, the snow performance on the CC was much better. We live in the Chicago suburbs, so having the better traction and grip in the snow was a worthwhile trade off for the road noise.
Just put them on my wife’s Crosstrek, she immediately said she felt more confident in the car. I drove it for the first time in snow a few days ago and was very surprised at how well it did. Would absolutely buy again.
I have an appointment Monday to get my current CC2s replaced with a fresh set of CC2s. I got 40k miles out of them, which is good enough for me. They are great in the rain/wet, with excellent hydroplane resistance, and they are very capable in the snow and ice.
We run Michelin rubber, period.
I've been using the CC2s here in NE Wisconsin for the past 3 (rav4 Prime) and now 4th winter (RX 4450h+). While they won't provide nearly the same level of ice traction as a fully dedicated winter tire, the snow and ice traction is best available for any non-winter tire on the market today. The level of grip in snow, even deep snow is amazing!
I have them on my Jetta TDI sportwagon and they are fantastic! First season we got a big ice storm here in the PNW and it was a complete shitshow! I could go anywhere, I regularly passed stuck 4x4s and was completely amazed at the performance on ice! Second season we got another ice storm and while they were still good definitely not as good as when new.
They’re great tires but I will say that they are REALLY loud. Noticeably louder than the Defender 2s that they replaced. Noticeably louder than the original CrossClimates that I had on a different car.
That's not bad. Quad with 21's here and I was only able to get 18k out of them. Switched to the Michelin's, so let's see how far those go.
CC2 perform very well in snow. But they are loud, uncomfortable, and not gas-efficient. When driving, you will feel that your car keeps swaying left and right a lot due to CC2's directional tread.
