I have an awd suv and these tires were a game changer coming from moderately crappy all seasons. Acceleration, stopping, turning are all great. You get a sense of confidence that makes driving in snow less terrible.
I got brand new Michelins 275 on my Tundra 21, man they grip good in wet and dry weather.. cant wait for this winter season, its worth spending few bucks more for quality
Only real weak point is ice, here dedicated winter tires are better due to finer thread pattern. However in the wet and dry CrossClimate 2 are way better and not far behind on snow.
If you’ve got AWD I’ve seen & heard great things about them out here in the great white north in Canada. I am not sure I’d run them if your driving through blizzards on the highways with a FWD vehicle. I would stick to a designated set of winter tires.

I have 19" CC2 on a LR past 2 years. They do ok in the snow I would say the Perelli zeros are better all at but the snow. My old tires could drive on the road in this video easy. The snow is not deep. No offense but just about any tire can do this video.
I just put them on my 2025 CR-V AWD EX, and took them to the Durango/Silverton/Ouray area last weekend. On icy/packed snow (like the plow just went over it and then cars), of course they slide a bit, but noticeably less than the Michelin Defender LTX M/S I was running on my 2010 RAV4 AWD V6, but they DEFINITELY are better in fresh snow and snowy uphills, and a LOT better in standing water. Normally if one side of the car hits a deep puddle at speed, the car will pull to that side, sometimes violently, these tires barely twitched. If my RAV4 hadn't been totaled by a drunk 2 months ago (forcing my purchase of the CR-V), I would have actually kept using the Defenders (even though they're not 3peak rated) simply because they're a tougher tire for going offroad, which I did in the RAV4. Since the CR-V is going to be nothing more than an AWD car with extra snow clearance, I decided on CC2's. I test them out on some fairly steep (if short) hills in slippery snow, and in "Snow Mode" on the CR-V, it climbed them with no drama or detectable wheelspin, if slowly.
Get these save yourself money on having to have a seperate winter set. They work wonders in the summer when the flash rains come and they do me great in the winter if your not a crazy driver
Depends where you live. These are as good as it gets for an all season all weather tire. But they won’t compare to a real winter tire in winter conditions. They are real good but not exceptional. Every all season or all weather tire is a compromise for convenience. But if you want exceptional traction and safety and also if you live in a cold snowy climate and you often drive in storms. Get the real winter Michelin X-Ice Snow-tires. Nothing beats a real winter snow tire like the X-Ice snow in real winter conditions. No compromises for safety here. 💪 But if you live in Los Angeles where it is warm year round but you drive up to Mammoth or Big Bear mountain on weekends to ski. You will want to compromise and get the Crossclimate 2’s and some Auto Socks just in case the sheriff requires them for the pass to and from Bishop and Mammoth etc. The Michelin X-Ice Snowtires will not do well in those warm temperatures, they will wear out a bit to quickly. Or Put the Crossclimate 2s on for summer and the X-Ice snow tires for winter. Then you will have the best of all world and if you get caught in a snowstorm before piloting on your winter tires. You will probably survive. 🛞☮️
ummm ... ok ... not that impressive. I've got Falken Wildpeaks on my Forester and they do that every winter ... all winter long ... and for FAR less $$.
@@yourlocalyoutuber6145if you have a second set of wheels I’d do a dedicated winter tire on those. I run pilot sport 4s on my summer wheels and Michelin snow ice x on the wheels car came with. I’m awd but seen mustangs with the snow ice tires doing well

yes indeed my Tucson is a Billy Goat in the snow
I’m pretty impressed with them in the winter storm this past week.
Just bought a set for my wife's 2019 rock creek pathfinder.. Expecting big things from this tire..
Any follow up - how are they?
No snow in Tennessee just yet. I will keep you updated the moment it snows.

They're excellent in most situations except dry-weather cornering, when they scrub a bit.
Yeah but dry weather traction is not an issue.
just bought some of these - hope they are good
How was it?
@@markus711 brilliant... good tyres

2015 Hyundai Sonata
AWD or FWD?

I’ve got them on my golf tdi fwd and they are amazing. I don’t like switching tires. These are a great compromise
I have FWD Toyota Corolla, they're sick. I rip through snow in Canada. No problem.
These tires are within 5-10% of most winter tire performance. Most people would not notice a difference.
Is it wrong that I was hoping to see a 720°?
How many miles can you get off these

Hows braking on ice and turning sharply?
Excellent braking on snow. Turning sharp is very stable as well. I haven't had the chance to drive on ice yet.
@@thelostwanderer202
Good to hear! Thanks
Ice is sketchy. I experienced it a couple days ago. Not very good on ice.
@@livefreeordiehard8898 well, no tire is. Unless it's studded.
@@livefreeordiehard8898 no tire can stop great on sheets of ice. just go slow

Going to get a set of Michelin X ice and snow tires
Any ideas on these?
I have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata I’m putting them on

Buy the CC2’s. No need for a winter set of tires
Depends where you live.

They didn't even show the tires
How do you find fuel economy? I'm 99% sold on these but I hear fuel economy suffers alot.
I’ve had these for 2 years and I’ve gotten about .5 mpg less. But the benefits outweigh the con in my opinion. I have a 2010 legacy
@@joshuawoolley4836 then we'll worth it
No change here in Scotland - still 62 mpg from my diesel Passat.
