They handle great on ice, they cut through deep snow. I didn't skid or slide much, and I didn't get pulled around during lane changes or driving my car across deep ruts.
I have Michelin Defender2s on my '19. They are great tires. I don't really see any snow, but they do great in the rain. They ride well, are pretty grippy for all-seasons and handle 80mph on the highway with 0 issues.
I just upgraded our Crosstrek Hybrid to Cross Climate 2's - They are good all-season touring tires. The stock Falken tires are... meh, and mine didn't seem to last very long.
It's only been a day, but the CC2's are super responsive and the car is a whole lot quieter.
I have the same vehicle and put Michelin CC2 on it. They're a grip hugging tire and have enjoyed having them on the vehicle. One other tire that I've come across and considering for the future are the Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive which was tested and outperformed the CC2 on wet roads. However, the CC2 does have a better tread life and wear rate. Can't go wrong with either.
Michelin Defender 100%. Cross Climate is a close second. Michelin are expensive for a reason- they’re the best. Fantastic ride quality, durable rubber compound, and most importantly even tread wear. 10x better than the junk OEM Falken or Yokohama tires
For a Civic, something like X-Ice Snow or Blizzak WS90 will make winter driving way less stressful.
At this point, I will only buy CrossClimate2’s. Got em on my Crosstrek right now and couldn’t be happier.
My go to budget tire are the General Altimax RT45s. I’ve had them and Michelin cross climate 2s and Nokian tires. The generals are a great value and wear nicely. They aren’t CC2s but do the job fine as an all around tire and the reviews and tests back that up and they handle snow pretty well.
I just put them on my Forester and am now struggling to maintain 30mpg whilst before I was sitting between 34 - 36 depending on how many red lights I caught that week. I kind of wish I had gone with the Defender 2 series or another touring tire personally as I already have Blizzak WS90s on my Wrx STi that I can use for heavy snow
As a rule, I prefer Michelin, but I’m not a fan of the Sport. Just had them put on mine and they’re not as good as the Primacy.
