If you deal with snow and don't want dedicated snow tires the CrossClimate2 is a great choice. I put them on last month and took a slight range hit but they have done great in a couple storms as well as longer trips to warmer climates.
They really are amazing tires.
I have the cc2s on my highlander and camry. They get about 45k miles on them. I have driven them on gravel and grass fields. Where they excel in my opinion is when you hit a deep puddle unexpectedly at high speeds. You don't lose control. Also, very good on slushy/icey roads and in the rain.
I do have CC2. Not to be overlooked--CC2 are also very good in the rain, not just snow. That may be of value in Seattle. excels in the rain, offering excellent wet traction, impressive hydroplaning resistance, and significantly shorter wet braking distances, even stopping shorter than competitors when worn
I have the CC2's and they are awesome.
I say that as someone who ADORES CC2, and has them on both my cars...
I have a set of Pilot Sport AS4’s and they’ve been great for the ~7k miles, they’re the best tires for the wet that I’ve ever driven, and they handle alright-ish in snow
Michelin Cross Climate 2/3 are probably some of the BEST all seasons you can get.
I live in southern Ontario in Canada and after one winter of driving around mainly in the city I decided that they weren\u2019t enough especially when going up any sort of incline with snow on the ground. I recently got a set of Michelin Ice-X tires and it makes a world of a difference. In the end if there\u2019s anything more than a light dusting on the ground dedicated winters is the way to go. Also for context I drive a FWD Volvo V50. All in all they are great but as someone else said. Jack of all trades, master of none.
No. I live in Michigan and was severely disappointed with the Michelin CC2. The packed-snow braking, and lateral grip leave a LOT to be desired. In our neighborhood with packed snow the car just slid… And slid… and kept sliding. Even my wife exclaimed “aren’t these new tires” lol. The packed-snow and Ice traction is no different than a basic all-season tire. The only thing these tires excelled at is deep-puddles and rain, they really shed water fast.
