Michelin CC2 is a great long lasting tire that is great in just about every condition except very deep snow. It was a big upgrade from the General RT43's we had previously had on our '13 OB. We have General 365AW on our '23 which are not quite as good in the rain, but are a lot cheaper.
This is a common question in the sub and you’ll generally hear a lot of recommendations for newer all weather tires such as Michelin CrossClimate 2 or Bridgestone Weatherpeak (installed on mine). These are premium all weather on road tires that’ll do pretty well in light/moderate snow and very good touring performance.
The E rated tire will ride ever so slightly harder, but the drastically increased life will make up for that.
Can't recommend Michelin CrossClimate 2's enough. Has been perfect in all weather for me including freezing cold, snow, wet, and summer temps. They are not noisy and wear well.
I just replaced the tires on my 21 Outback with Cooper ProControl. Same tire size as you. I have young kids as well and do family duty for vacations school etc.
So far so good. I previously had the stock Yokohamas and they weren’t very good. Barely got 50k out of them.
Michelin CrossClimate2 staggered 20” on my FE. Superb tires. Quiet, smooth, insane levels of grip wet or dry. No loss of range in the winter, haven’t seen warm weather yet to judge summer range. I’m fine with giving up range for performance.
Michelin is a great tire, higher price range but worth it if you got the dough.
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4, great daily tire, all season but incredible grip.
Our CrossClimates after being fitted mid-2020. The outers are at 3mm, and the inner 4mm. Over 30k miles. Seems acceptable to me. Ours are on a Freelander 2/LR2, so a relatively heavy vehicle.
Buyer beware. Stay away from these Pep Boy exclusive tires. My wife was drawn in by the "buy 3 get 1" promotion and bought the Cooper Adventure tires for her minivan. These are the worst tires that we've ever had. The tires could not be balanced correctly.
