I just swapped my original Conti's out for Michelin Pilot Sport AS4's (225/45ZR18). Ride is quieter than the Conti's, and grip seems better, too...but that may be due to new tires vs mileage on the old ones.

Pros: quieter ride, better grip

The CC2s are fantastic, I don’t think I actually lost much range with them more than I fitted them when it was colder. Snow, ice, rain they are amazing. Never had an issue with grip. Only reason I’ll go back to the sports is longevity at higher temps and deluging rain grip.

Pros: fantastic, amazing grip
Cons: longevity at temps

I have them and so far very happy with the purchase. I use them for every day driving there’s been no big impact on range or road noise.

Pros: happy with purchase
Cons: no big impact

Yes to range drop, also yes to great performance in the snow, ice, and rain. My typical drive takes 15% to get home now, where it used to take 12%. They are relatively new (2 months), so break in may alleviate some of that.

I've been over the pass in the Sierra Nevada twice with them on (both i-80 and hwy 50), plus routine winter driving with snow and ice pretty much daily. Only time I've felt any wiggle is goosing it through a corner when nobody is around, just to get a feel for the handling. It recovers very gracefully.

Pros: great performance in snow
Cons: range drop

I have some on mine and they’ve handled great on the rain, haven’t really done any snow driving. Only thing I’ve noticed is there’s a bit of a feint droning noise at high speeds. Haven’t really noticed any significant range impacts, although I’ve only used them for daily driving and don’t ever drop below 50% charge.

Pros: handled great on rain
Cons: droning noise

I have some on my M3SR+. I'm in Utah, and they handle great in the snow here. They're a bit louder than the stock Primacy MXM4s. But they last a lot longer. The stock tires had to be replaced at 17k miles. The CC2s are at 15k miles now and still have ~7/32" of tread left. I haven't noticed any change in efficiency. I still get ~250Wh/mi average over the course of the year.

Pros: handle great in snow, last longer
Cons: bit louder
Mileage: 15000 km

My caution about Michelin cross climates is the noise and the performance out of snow/rain. It is funny to watch people switch from cross climates to winter tires because they're the same.

Pros: good wet, snow performance
Cons: noise, performance out
