Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

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 opted for Pirelli scorpion westheractive for my cx5 from tire rack. I liked the price of them and reviews are high.

Taca Michelin, n\u00e3o tem erro. Pirelli \u00e9 muito duro n\u00e3o passa confian\u00e7a na chuva, principalmente em rua de cal\u00e7amento

This is standard for Michelin summer tires. They're not recommend for track use since they overheat and start to chunk.

I have had experiences with many tires models on CX-5, my shop basically agreed Scorpion has to be one of the worst tires to recommend to customer for all the reasons you mentioned. These tires has worse road feel than even Westlakes
