I’m running a set of CC2 for the third winter now also in Southern Ontario. The past two winters have been relatively mild but this winter has seen more typical accumulation of snow and ice letting me really get a sense of how the CC2’s perform. In short I’ve been completely impressed with how great they are in winter conditions. Last week during a 125km commute between Kitchener/Waterloo to Toronto I drove all on snow covered highways and stayed firmly planted, tracked straight, and at speed in a RWD car to boot. The CC2’s have about 25k km’s on them and they perform like new.
The Crossclimate 2 is a good tire that lasts and is worth the money. The weatherpeak last about 30,000 miles and has the thinnest sidewall of all time. Shop around more if you want but DO NOT BUY THE WEATHERPEAKS under any circumstances .
I bought a set of 275/50R22 Defender LTX 2 from Costco for about $305 a tire and it was a massive upgrade from OEM. Highly recommend
I chose to go with the Michelin Cross Climate 2s, which are all seasons with the M+S and the snowflake. I drive a VW Atlas SUV and so far these tires have been very impressive in the snow.
Only change I have made is putting on Michelin Pilot 4 all weather tires 235/40/19s on the stock wheels. A little more sidewall for a better ride and no problem with rubbing. My only gripe is the turbo lag but once it kicks in it does just fine.
I love my CC2s, got them in December and have had them on my wife’s MDX for 3 years. The wet performance is very impressive.
We put the CC2’s on it’s so much better than the stock. In the north east for the winters and it has been great in the snow this season. Road noise is fine and ride comfort is fine, but noticeably better in all aspects
Michelin—always worth the $$…keeps braking/traction through wear pattern better than any other tire
I have a 22 CX-5 and replaced my Toyo A36 tires with the Defender 2s. I was already considering switching them out as I dont like the feel, but I noticed today I only got 27.2 mpg on the highway. This is the same trip I make all the time and used to get 30 to 31mpg on the Toyo tires.
The pilot sports are terrible. I burned through my set in 11000 miles.
