Tires MICHELIN or WEST LAKE

As someone who thinks the PS4AS is a great all season tire, you're nuts for replacing the CC2 with it. The winter performance is going to be abysmal in comparison and you're not going to get 50k miles out of them to save your life.

We use the cross climate C on our fleet of over 40 loaded transit vans and they perform and wear great. PNW so lots of rain and (some) snow.

Saying you don’t like oranges because they don’t taste like apples. CC2 is all weather. 50k for AW tires is fantastic. They also have better rain/snow traction, not that they are super sticky tires like sport performance tires.

I’ve had my CC2 for just over 20k and have had zero issues. Still great wet & dry traction. Also, smooth and quiet on the highway.

I run Goodyear F1 Eagles in the summer, and in late October swap over to 3PMSF all-season Michelin cross-climates. The all-seasons have a much better wear tolerance for the occasions where we have 15C in the middle of winter. My Audi only has about 320 BHP, but in the snow / ice, I do not want to be using summer tyres. Equally in the summer, I want to be able to push it on rural roads in Devon without trashing all-seasons.

The cross climates don’t have best grip for handling but are ok … but they are just safer in colder weather especially with kids in the car.

Been on 32mm pro 5’s since August and I’ve been very impressed for using them for general riding. In terms of endurance tires they feel incredibly fast and grippy. No punctures even though they are on the lighter end of endurance tire offerings.

Mióta megvan az autó (3 éve) négyévszakos abroncsok vannak alatta. Először Hankook volt, tavaly kapott Michelin Crossclimate gumikat.

Mentem már vele tükörjégen, szakadó hóesésben, most a letakarítatlan 20 centis hóban is. Nem mondom, hogy itt-ott nem csusszant meg, de nem volt eddig semmi gond vele.

I have them on my 23 Forester and wish I had went with a different tire but that's simply my personal situation. The CC2 isn't a bad tire by any means. I've drove with them in our last snow storm which ended up dumping 6 inches and they didn't lose traction unless I made it and even then they'd recover traction within 2 seconds if I wasn't hooning it. My main reason for wanting something like the Defender 2 series is thr mpg hit my forester took. I went from about 34 - 35 mpg down to barely able to sustain 30mpg and easily sitting between 28-29 mpg now.

I’ve had both on my car here in Michigan, the CC2 was awful on packed snow and ice, especially the braking distance. I had them removed because both me and my wife hated them. Yes, they were noisy and very inefficient too.
