I used to have CC2's on my vehicle until I sold them. My wife now has them on her vehicle. The reason people suggest them is because they truly work fantastic. I was literally blow away. Dry traction (not hard lol). Great snow traction. And the craziest part, fantastic wet traction. I was driving down the highway and the highway, for whatever reason, around the bend was mildly flooded giving me no time to brake. I plowed through all that deeper water and only for half a second hydroplaned. I was blown away I didnt hydroplane through the majority of it and also happy my engine didnt suck up any water. . People in the comments have said they are noisy but I didnt notice it. Maybe me other "regular" tires were just as bad? The only down side to CC2's, they are a bit pricey. Well worth it for safety though!
I put on cross climate 2s on my wife’s 2019 Honda pilot all the way back in 2020 when the car had only 25k miles because the stock continentals where garbage. We have now had them on for 5 years and about 50k miles. I haven’t officially measured them but they look brand new. Still not even half way to the wear bars (just by looking at them)
Went to Michelin Pilot Sport AS's and never looked back. My Passat has the same tires (only the never model, AS4's I think) and they provide excellent road holding (it has the VR6, the continentals were absolute trash at holding the power down).
I have the CC2s on my ‘23 Outback and love them. I live in MN and there is no kind of weather they don’t handle great in.
Just put Defender 2’s on my 18’ Highlander. Bought it with coopers on it. Couldn’t believe how much better the ride is and how much quieter it is.
Also live in Minnesota. I got the cross climates. Don\u2019t have to change them out, they perform great in winter. Have had them on for 60k miles or so, mostly highway, and they still got a lot of life left.
I went from Toyo Celsius to CC2’s on my 2014 RAV4 Limited, I love them and have had no issues in over a year and 20,000 km of use. I rotate front to rear every 8,000 km during my oil change so they are wearing evenly. I haven’t noticed a big difference in gas mileage or noise.
We do have CC2's on one of our cars. My personal answer is, no tire is great at everything. CC2's are as good as advertised in snow and rain traction, which is a very valuable trait.
It’s ok. I just have Michelin pilot sports.
I had to explain to an Iranian last night what a heat ring is on his Michelin that was on his 6 yr 20k mile RX that he bought last year from...gulp, CARMAX
