The CrossClimate2 are excellent all-season tires. In fact, putting their all-weather capability aside, they're simply excellent even as far as 3-season tires go. So think of them as premium 3-season tires with extra winter capability.

So far I think the continentals transition response actually matches MINIs personality better, despite it having lower absolutely grip.
I have recently installed michelin cross climate 2 and I am very happy with them. It is well worth the investment.
Put them on my parent’s 09 CR-V in the winter of 2020. Compared to the Michelin Premiers that were on prior, the Quiettracks were slightly louder and firmer, which makes sense since they’re 80k vs 60k. Overall though, they’re still decently quiet, round corners super well, and have handled all conditions. Parents drove in a snowstorm in Michigan with those tires and the they felt good the whole time.
I’m rocking Conti PureContact LS’s on my 14 hatchback and they’ve been awesome
Personally I have Michelin crossclimate+ on my prius (they don't have crossclimate 2 in my size) and love them.
Michelin. Always Michelin.
The only time I've ever hydroplaned was on Goodyears.
I’ve had quite a few and overall, my favorite is the Falkin Wildpeak AT3. They’re the most aggressive looking, deeper tread than some, good warranty, reasonable priced, lightweight compared to a K02 and also a light quieter on road than a K02.
I just had my original ecopia 422 205/55/16's swapped out with a set of Nokian Solstice all weather tires in the same size. All seasons don't do well in the wet and slushy snow we get here in south coast of B.C.
My BridgestonePotenza S001 has 12k miles with 6/32 of tread depth. Likely, they grip marginally better than new but I don't have high expectations from this tire anymore. Nevertheless, I did expect a transformation from wider summer tire, coming from horrendous BridgestoneECOPIA EP422 PLUS .
