Both are great performing tires in the snow. I would say get what's cheaper, but I give the slight edge to the CrossClimate 2.
My favorite tire for this purpose is the Goodyear Duratrac. I’m still on the stock Pirelli’s on the R1S, but on my diesel pickup that every day weighs 9k I got 80k on the last set. They are excellent in snow and I had that truck in places it should never have been with no issue due to those tires.
I have been using Goodyear Assurance Weatherready SL for the past 4.5 years. Gave me 66000 miles with driving atleast 100 miles for 3 days a week and another 25 miles for the remaining days. I have just ordered another set of 4 tires and costs me $600. I will recommend using the tires. I own a Prius.
I would also recommend looking at the Nokian one and Michelin defender2.
The michelin defender 2 is rated for 70 or 80k miles, and is generally very quiet.
Upgrade them to michellin pilot sports all season worth every penny. More grip for that torque!
Goodyear Trailmark ATs bought from Walmart. Lasted me almost 6 years. Replacing due to normal wear and tear. Tread is nowhere near bald.
I'm on my second set of these and they compare in ride quality to my last set of Goodyear eagle sport tires. Decent tires specially at the price point.
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 had high hopes for these tires and I saw no benefit over the Michelin primacy. Also after the first 1000 miles the traction sucks in dry conditions for spirited driving and especially horrible in wet weather.
