Tires MICHELIN or OEM Toyota

I went from Toyo Celsius to CC2’s on my 2014 RAV4 Limited, I love them and have had no issues in over a year and 20,000 km of use. I rotate front to rear every 8,000 km during my oil change so they are wearing evenly. I haven’t noticed a big difference in gas mileage or noise.

We do have CC2's on one of our cars. My personal answer is, no tire is great at everything. CC2's are as good as advertised in snow and rain traction, which is a very valuable trait.

I slapped Michelin Defenders on my Lexus GX460 last month. No issues found so far. Northeast Ohio, near the PA border.

I’ve got them on my A6 and love them. They give me good grip year round and a sense of security in the winter.

I live in the sf bay area and have cross climate 2s on a camry. They are great for foggy and rainy weather. Also have used them in Tahoe and Donner, california. I like them quite a bit. Great traction for my usage.

I love my cross climates and will only ever drive them. I also have a fear of driving in rain so rain performance is a must for me. I literally couldn’t hydroplane if I tried. They are quiet too. I will never own anything else got 65k out of my first set

CC2 is a great choice! Have had them on a few different Subaru’s. If you’re in Idaho as your name would allude, you’ll love them! Rolling resistance is good. For context, my new 2026 Limited XT Outback is averaging just over 25.5 mpg with them on. Car is still going through break in too. Also have worn them through the summers on my old Outback and have gone to numerous trailheads and such.

I’m on my second AWD car with CC2s. Subaru Impreza wagon and a Hyundai AWD Ioniq5. Pros are great snow & wet handling and braking & adequate dry handling combined with lower rolling resistance than most for better mileage.

I like the performance of mine so far, but be careful and get them from a real shop. I had mine put on by Costco and they completely messed up the balancing twice in a row. Finally got it "fixed" but it still rides noticeably rougher than the OEM Bridgestone's my CX-30 came with originally.

I had to explain to an Iranian last night what a heat ring is on his Michelin that was on his 6 yr 20k mile RX that he bought last year from...gulp, CARMAX
