Tires MICHELIN or Laufenn
Every set of Michelin tires I've had out lasted their mileage warranty and were dry rotted very badly, but never separated or caused me a safety concern.
Replaced with Michelin at 17K miles. Seems like a trend.
I have the Cross Climate 2 on a 2017 AWD CRV and had them on a 2019 manual Jetta, they’ve been great! Snow, ice, heavy rain, handles everything like a champ! Slight decrease in fuel efficiency however.
R1T, but I replaced mine with Michelin Defenders at 17k miles
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.
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.
The Michelins that came with the 18s and the pro contacts with the 19s were some of the worst handling tires I’ve owned especially in the rain. I’ve never hydroplaned as much as on those tires on any of my previous cars. I wouldn’t want anybody I care about or myself driving on those in the rain. But if it doesn’t rain where you live, they’re pretty nice thanks to the foam.
