Tires MICHELIN or Vredestein

I have the Cross Climate 2 on a 2017 AWD CRV and had them on a 2019 manual Jetta, they’ve been great! Snow, ice, heavy rain, handles everything like a champ! Slight decrease in fuel efficiency however.

R1T, but I replaced mine with Michelin Defenders at 17k miles

I’ve driven on the cross climate 2s and they’re great. Michigan winters were a breeze, never slid once

They are fantastic tires year round.

They do wear a bit faster but now where near as fast as a dedicated snow

They perform much much better than all seasons in snow.

I run CC2s on my Subaru year around. They are just awesome tires wet or dry or snowy icy crap.

CC2s are fantastic all seasons that are mountain rated snow tires. They wear slightly faster than other all seasons in their class but with 9/10 all year performance. I run all seasons all year long on an old Impreza and it manages perfectly fine.

Just put the Ice X's back on yesterday for their 2nd winter after going with them from this thread. Very pleased w/ their performance and wear so far.

My Countryman has Michelin X-Ice tires in winter.

Previously I had Michelin Defender xlt. While I would prefer a more pavement oriented tire the Coopers where the only load range E tires I could get on a 3 day turnaround when I needed them.

I liked the Michelins but the xl load rating was just too squirmy while towing a 7000lb trailer.

The sidewall is thin af on these tires. I’ve had 2 blowouts so far after 10k or so.
