Tires MICHELIN or OEM BMW

CC2 is an amazing tire. Snow fall from a single storm can be measured in several inches to a couple of feet. My wife’s Cayenne is an absolute monster in these conditions with the Michelins. She runs them all year and this will be the 3rd winter on the same set, with amazing wear.

I absolutely love the Cross Climates. Their handling in rain and snow is very good, and they just seem to ride more comfortably than the Defenders ever did. They are also more quiet. FWIW I’ve only had my Cross Climates for one winter here in MD.

Cross climate 2s are amazing. Won’t buy anything else after owning them tbh for year round use.

CC2 is the best upper Midwest all season tire. Nothing else is even close.

CC2’s carried me through last winter. Snow, icy roads no problems. I was able to rescue my son in a snowstorm when he slid off the road. 4-6” of unplowed snow and my CR-V handled it like a champ.

I replaced Defenders with CC2s on an Explorer and they’re a much better tire for New England weather.

Just put on some crossclimates, seem really good the rain so far

They are the best all season’s/all weathers I have ever had. Will be getting another set on our other car soon.

I’ve noticed some unusual wear on the inner edges of my front tires (Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s, ~3 years old), and the rubber feels rough to the touch - like they're chewed up a bit.

I had ps4s on my nd2 miata(molded aero, brakes, suspension, stock power)with a few track days and the last day they overheated on a 60f slight damp overcast track day after about 3 laps each session.
