Tires MICHELIN or RIKEN

If you deal with snow and don't want dedicated snow tires the CrossClimate2 is a great choice. I put them on last month and took a slight range hit but they have done great in a couple storms as well as longer trips to warmer climates.

They really are amazing tires.

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.

lol, yes. my car is fwd, i bought some brand new michelin ice x's for this winter and even though i'm having a slightly better time i still dread red lights, stop signs, yields, you name it. i do all the tips and tricks you can name as well.

My experience is they are noisy and don\u2019t wear evenly unless you rotate religiously every 3000-5000 miles. I drive a 4WD truck, but I find the Michelin Defender M/S2 to be a better tire.
