Tires MICHELIN or FULDA

Cross Climate 2 in 225/40R18 size is easily the best tyre i’ve ever driven. We had snow last week and i was able to drive to my street on top of a hill while multiple cars had to park at the bottom, including my dad with Hankook WINTER tires on an SUV. They are also better in wet than Goodyear Eagle F1

We have cross climate agilis on the vans at work, which are RWD so things are a bit more complicated. Generally good tyre, can take a lots of potholes before something will happen to them (lots of country roads). Generally very good grip, but these can get soft when it's very warm in summer, plus in rain it's really easy to spin wheels up when trying to join the traffic faster. Other than that no complains.

As someone who thinks the PS4AS is a great all season tire, you're nuts for replacing the CC2 with it. The winter performance is going to be abysmal in comparison and you're not going to get 50k miles out of them to save your life.

We use the cross climate C on our fleet of over 40 loaded transit vans and they perform and wear great. PNW so lots of rain and (some) snow.

Saying you don’t like oranges because they don’t taste like apples. CC2 is all weather. 50k for AW tires is fantastic. They also have better rain/snow traction, not that they are super sticky tires like sport performance tires.

I’ve had my CC2 for just over 20k and have had zero issues. Still great wet & dry traction. Also, smooth and quiet on the highway.

I run Goodyear F1 Eagles in the summer, and in late October swap over to 3PMSF all-season Michelin cross-climates. The all-seasons have a much better wear tolerance for the occasions where we have 15C in the middle of winter. My Audi only has about 320 BHP, but in the snow / ice, I do not want to be using summer tyres. Equally in the summer, I want to be able to push it on rural roads in Devon without trashing all-seasons.

The cross climates don’t have best grip for handling but are ok … but they are just safer in colder weather especially with kids in the car.

I myself also have allseason, Fulda Multicontrol. So far in those conditions you described they perform allright, but you need to be careful. I’m still not fully convinced to take them to direct snow since I have tried to cross some purely snowy areas and they get stuck.

Every Michelin I've owned has been too loud for me.
