I’ve driven on the cross climate 2s and they’re great. Michigan winters were a breeze, never slid once
They are fantastic tires year round.
They do wear a bit faster but now where near as fast as a dedicated snow
They perform much much better than all seasons in snow.
I run CC2s on my Subaru year around. They are just awesome tires wet or dry or snowy icy crap.
CC2s are fantastic all seasons that are mountain rated snow tires. They wear slightly faster than other all seasons in their class but with 9/10 all year performance. I run all seasons all year long on an old Impreza and it manages perfectly fine.
One recent set of tires (Bridgestone Potenza Sports - AMAZING!) less than a year ago, new brakes all around approximately 6 months ago.
Just put the Ice X's back on yesterday for their 2nd winter after going with them from this thread. Very pleased w/ their performance and wear so far.
My Countryman has Michelin X-Ice tires in winter.
I had both the Turanza EL440 and those exact Firehawk tires. The Turanza I had would have lasted maybe 55k or 60k if it wasn't for me getting one damaged from a road hazard.
The Cross Climate are nosier than my Michelin X-ICE, a dedicated winter tire, and the efficiency is about the same. They are a great "year round" tire but you pay for it in efficiency loss and noise in Spring - Fall.
I've had my Mazda 3 turbo for 20k miles now and in that time, 2 of the Turanza tires had sidewall bubbles that compromised them. Not to mention, they are just noisy and feel like they have pretty lame grip. They are not confidence-inspiring at all and suck in the cold.
