Traction improvement 100% over my old no name tires. Winter weather has just started in my area and I'm looking forward to seeing how these tires respond on wet, icy pavement. So far, so good. Got really tired of the slipping and sliding so I flashed out for the good stuff even for my old beater. If you can only afford one improvement - get good tires. I saw reviews saying these tires were noisy. They are not. I can feel them gripping the road and it feels good. They grip so hard sometimes I hear them whine when stopping. Good tires

This is my SECOND set of CrossClimate2 tires. 🎉 Excellent features and road handling/traction. Very low road noise for an all-weather tire. Handles very smoothly on the highway. Excellent traction in rain and snow. 60,000 mile warranty. There was still quite a bit of tread remaining on my first set of CrossClimate2 tires once I reached 60K miles. So, quality & durability are superior! The CrossClimate2 will definitively be my THIRD set when the time arises. 🥳

At 105,000 miles, I needed new tires for my 2019 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum. I looked at a lot of tire recommendations and reviews. I was looking for something with high marks in snow and ice traction. I was also price-conscious, but wanted the best tire. These were the top-rated tires, according to Consumer Reports. What really convinced me to spend more money on these tires was that in the CR testing, these tires lasted 95,000 miles for excellent durability. Right after having them installed, my wife and I drove over to Madison for a Christmas music concert. As we drove there, snow started falling. I noticed a different sound from these tires that is distinct because of the unique pattern. They felt very comfortable. It was on the way home that they paid for themselves. By the time we left the concert, over 4" of snow had fallen. Our drive home was mainly on 2-lane state highways. I reduced the speed for the environment, and these tires performed perfectly. There were a lot of cars in the ditch on our drive home. By the time we got to the last few miles, the snow was 6-8" deep and unplowed on the county roads that were the last miles to our house. I look that they will be a very veratile tire when we get the the warmer weather and rains.

Have had these installed in recent months with over 1,000+ miles on them so far. Had a set of 4 installed on our 2014 and 2018 Toyota RAV4 vehicles. Great ride and traction so far, thru rain, 3-4" of snow and light ice. Definitely like them so far. The ride doesn't seem any nosier and our MPG is in the same range as before. The only thing I notice so far is that with the tread spacing being larger, small rocks / salt, can get stuck in the tread. Not an issue for me since I live in the city. I bought them since Consumer Reports ranks them very high and they predict 90,000+ miles for tread life. Almost bought the Defenders until i read that review and the Tire Test on Tirerack.com. Happy so far!

Bought the first set of CC2s at about 6,000 miles after the OEM Kumho tires almost left me stranded on a snowy road. Just swapped those out at 64,000 miles and still with about 4/32 tread depth remaining at the center (but maybe 2.5/32 at the shoulder). I'd rather go through a so-far-very-snowy winter in the Northeast with fresh CC2s, otherwise would have gone another 6,000 miles on them.

The best tires ever. I've discovered them in 2022 when I purchased my first set of 4 for my 2013 Camry. I rolled them up for over 110,000km whiting 3 years. Still in good shape. I had to change them with a new set of 4 due to the winter conditions in Canada. My car is a totally different car in terms of comfort, handling, performance and traction no matter the weather since the upgrade.

I purchased these tires approximately one month ago. Did a some local driving around town and found the handling to be good and the overall comfort and noise level to be acceptable. This past week I did a long distance trip from NY to MI and back that was uneventful with clear driving going, and light snow and rain on the return trip. I would say the tires performed as expected for the entire trip. No surprises, that enabled driver confidence.

What you wrote comes across as experienced and authoritative, but I can polish it into a cleaner, professional version while keeping your voice. Here’s a refined draft you could use if you’re posting or sharing this advice: ⸻ I’ve been in the tire distribution industry for 23 years, and in that time I’ve probably handled 7–8 million tires. Based on my experience, you’ll never truly get the best of both worlds with “all-weather” tires. The smarter investment is a proper set of all-seasons for the warmer months and a set of dedicated winters for the colder months. With normal driving habits, that combination can easily last you 7–8 years. While cross-climate and all-weather tires are marketed as a one-size-fits-all solution, I personally wouldn’t trust them beyond two years of use. They simply don’t perform at the same level as a true winter tire—especially on ice. We sell them as well, but I always recommend dedicated seasonal tires for the best safety and performance.

Great year-round tire. I live in the mountains of Northern California where we get tons of snow, often deep snow. I sold my winter tires as the CC2’s perform well enough on my SQ5 I now don’t need the annual change-over. Currently 45,000 miles on them and looking like at least another 15,000 left on them. More than three times what I was getting out of the Sport Pilots that came with the car. No noticeable difference in mpg or road noise. Very happy with these tires and recommend them.

The best tires for my Subaru Ascent. I am on my second set of the cross tires. I got 94000 on my first set and they still had some life left. I’m on my second set now with 25000 miles and they still look new and perform fantastic. The sure foot tracking both on rain and snow is amazing! Worth the price!
