Tires MICHELIN or Maxxis

I have the cc2s on my highlander and camry. They get about 45k miles on them. I have driven them on gravel and grass fields. Where they excel in my opinion is when you hit a deep puddle unexpectedly at high speeds. You don't lose control. Also, very good on slushy/icey roads and in the rain.

I do have CC2. Not to be overlooked--CC2 are also very good in the rain, not just snow. That may be of value in Seattle. excels in the rain, offering excellent wet traction, impressive hydroplaning resistance, and significantly shorter wet braking distances, even stopping shorter than competitors when worn

I have the CC2's and they are awesome.

I say that as someone who ADORES CC2, and has them on both my cars...

I have a set of Pilot Sport AS4’s and they’ve been great for the ~7k miles, they’re the best tires for the wet that I’ve ever driven, and they handle alright-ish in snow

Michelin Cross Climate 2/3 are probably some of the BEST all seasons you can get.

At the price point, in my opinion, the Michelin is just not worth the extra money. The ps all season 4 and dws06+ trade blows all day on what they excel in.

Consider getting a good set of all-season tires. I have a 2wd Honda Civic that does great in snow because it has FWD and great tires. Michelin Cross-Climate are what I have and are one of the best.

It’s ok. I just have Michelin pilot sports.

No. I live in Michigan and was severely disappointed with the Michelin CC2. The packed-snow braking, and lateral grip leave a LOT to be desired. In our neighborhood with packed snow the car just slid… And slid… and kept sliding. Even my wife exclaimed “aren’t these new tires” lol. The packed-snow and Ice traction is no different than a basic all-season tire. The only thing these tires excelled at is deep-puddles and rain, they really shed water fast.
