I absolutely love the Cross Climates. Their handling in rain and snow is very good, and they just seem to ride more comfortably than the Defenders ever did. They are also more quiet. FWIW I’ve only had my Cross Climates for one winter here in MD.
Cross climate 2s are amazing. Won’t buy anything else after owning them tbh for year round use.
CC2 is the best upper Midwest all season tire. Nothing else is even close.
CC2’s carried me through last winter. Snow, icy roads no problems. I was able to rescue my son in a snowstorm when he slid off the road. 4-6” of unplowed snow and my CR-V handled it like a champ.
The Bridgestone Blizzack is an excellent winter tire. We’ve tried a few other brands over the years but this was noticeably better, the best one for ice in my experience.
I replaced Defenders with CC2s on an Explorer and they’re a much better tire for New England weather.
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.
I was running stock Bridgestones - they’re 240 TW. They’re street tires and I don’t think I do enough track days to go w a more track oriented tire. They felt quite good on track. Not great. Good.
My biggest complaint was the Bridgestone tires. I had two replace two tires in the 2.5 years that I had this car. I had to wait nearly 2 weeks for a replacement to arrive.
