Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

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.

Worked in a tire shop for 10 years now and hate basically all Bridgestone. You can essentially cut whatever mileage warranty they put on the tire in half. They may ride well but longevity is definitely not something Bridgestone strives for. Michelin on the other hand will usually last the full warranty and if properly taken care of last well beyond that. I've had a lot of good feedback on the cc2 and went to a class based around them and all terrain tires. They performed phenomenal on the wet track we did.

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

Wait what’s wrong with the Michelin 4s ????

BT23s were literally the worst tyres I've ever had.

They felt like they were made of nylon.
