I’ve been running Michelin Defender 2 on my Toyota Camry year round since 2020 and it does very well every single winter with no issues at all. Fully sipped tires do help for grip on snow and ice.
I ran the non EV equivalent Michelin Sport on my Tesla for almost 5 years to the tune of $30 less per tire. The only difference I found compared to EV tires was a strip of foam for sound deadening.
CC2s are very noisy and get worse as the miles are added. Great tire in wet and snow, but could not stand them on the highway. You couldn't hear conversations while driving.
Ich fahre den Michelin Cross climate 2 und bin hoch zufrieden
Ich persönlich habe die Crossclimate 2. Im Winter bisher völlig problemlos, auch in tiefem Schnee (allerdings mit allrad).
CC2 is an amazing tire. Snow fall from a single storm can be measured in several inches to a couple of feet. My wife’s Cayenne is an absolute monster in these conditions with the Michelins. She runs them all year and this will be the 3rd winter on the same set, with amazing wear.
I absolutely love the Cross Climates. Their handling in rain and snow is very good, and they just seem to ride more comfortably than the Defenders ever did. They are also more quiet. FWIW I’ve only had my Cross Climates for one winter here in MD.
Cross climate 2s are amazing. Won’t buy anything else after owning them tbh for year round use.
CC2 is the best upper Midwest all season tire. Nothing else is even close.
CC2’s carried me through last winter. Snow, icy roads no problems. I was able to rescue my son in a snowstorm when he slid off the road. 4-6” of unplowed snow and my CR-V handled it like a champ.
