Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA

Just put Defender 2’s on my 18’ Highlander. Bought it with coopers on it. Couldn’t believe how much better the ride is and how much quieter it is.

Also live in Minnesota. I got the cross climates. Don\u2019t have to change them out, they perform great in winter. Have had them on for 60k miles or so, mostly highway, and they still got a lot of life left.

I went from Toyo Celsius to CC2’s on my 2014 RAV4 Limited, I love them and have had no issues in over a year and 20,000 km of use. I rotate front to rear every 8,000 km during my oil change so they are wearing evenly. I haven’t noticed a big difference in gas mileage or noise.

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

For me, Altima FWD, they are a little worse than my dedicated snow tire when I’ve ran them (I’ve gotten stuck once and had to put on chains). I like the blizzaks better but the CC2s do ok. CC2s also get slightly worse mpg than the blizzaks/are a little louder.

i had Continental DWS06 on my 2020 WRX, just switched to pilot sport A/S 3 this year. the pilots SUCKKKKK in the snow, glad i'm not the only one who's noticed. Definitely going back to my DWS06 after these pilots are done.
