Better tire through all year than other premium summer tires.

Figured I would add my say on these pretty poor tires after 12 months and roughly 5k miles.
Background, car they were fitted to is a mk4 Clio. The car is my runabout and spends 95% of its time on county lanes. I would say I push on when the conditions are safe and clear to do so.
The tires I was coming from (this time last year) were Mitc PS4’s, with 5mm even wear. The sizes is 205/45/17.
I had run the PS4 in snow and found them be somewhat difficult to get on with. Upon hearing of the tires snow credentials and supposed wet/dry grip I was sold on the CC2’s for a daily. I had them fitted and full alignment done.
I drive the same roads every day, and have done for over 20yrs, I am very familiar with clios and have had this one 3 years. Therefore feel I am able to give a balanced review on this tire fitted on a small car.
Dry grip - no areas I can complain about. When the tire does break away it’s quite slow and not snappy in the dry.
Full wet roads - not a bad show on properly wet roads. But they do not clear standing water at all well. If you hit a moderate puddle at 50-60mph on light bend, the car will aquaplane severely.
Lightly frosted surface. They were pretty good here (even from cold), and offered good confidence. That said, if you could get heat in to the PS4s they wouldn’t be far behind.
Sheet ICE - again pretty good. But ultimately on ICE without spikes any tire is going to slip.
Light muddy covering on road (the kind you find near passing point on country lanes in the winter). Truly scary! Genuinely feels like your driving on oil. This affects braking and the car can easily be made to go sideways fairly significantly at less than 40 mph with a quick flick of the wheel. Notably the PS4 seemed very strong in exactly the same conditions.
Greasy morning due - again truly scary! I have nothing positive at all I can say, other than the stone chip surfaces (10mm stone dumped on hot tar) tend not to get that wet in the morning. The black tarmac was a different story. They will break traction mid corner with no warning, or just under steer heavily, feeling like they never really get grip. Again the PS4 excelled in this area.
The final point I will make is how I’ve come to write this review. The tire is obviously snow marked. The side effect of that seems to be an incredibly soft tire compound. This evening I was on a road am very familiar with and managed to blow the sidewall right out. I had run into a very small break away at edge of the road. Not even enough to jolt the car, but enough to do the tire. Upon getting it off and inspecting it closely I noticed a number of fairly large slices in various parts of the tire was (not man made), both inner sideway and in the main contact area. This is damage I’ve found across all 4 tires now.
Overall I would not buy these again, and really fail to see how Mitch have the audacity to price these lower performance tires over the clearly better Pilot Sport range. The tires all have well over 6mm left, they’re all now coming off and I’m going to try the PS5.

Replaced the run flats on my daily BMW with these in march. It was really sunny dry day and I questioned my choice. Then again I live in Scottish Highlands. The car has genuine e92 m3 arms front and rear and a few handling suspension upgrades so I was planning Michelin PS4's but was offered a deal for a full set of crossclimate. Anyway I was initially impressed, feedback great handling and feel all good. However the test came with a week of unexpected winter showers and snow. The car was able to drive as RWD like I was driving in dry, accidents around me and car felt like I was driving along a summer coastal highway. Similar story in wet so much grip! After 4 months they still baffle on a RWD how I can have so much feel and grip. Wear seems fine and plenty life left in tire. Would recommend them highly especially living on farm type roads. They transform a car that handles and feels good to excellent in sub terrible conditions and in dry feel great, after all they are michelin. Think my favourite daily tire for my roads has been found.

These tires are great for everyday use, they have a lot of grip in dry and wet condition (I don't know in snowy condition, will update next winter). I drive mostly in country road in Italy so the handling and the road feedback are very important to me. I don't like the feedback from this tires, the car lean a lot and the ESP come in at every speedy curve and the steering wheel has a bizarre behavior during the realignment.

Lincoln 2018 MKZ-H , OEM tires Michelin MxM4 , the MxM4 tires were very good in dry and wet and handling , but not good in snow In fact the MKZ-h is very bad in snow .. I have had all season Perilli ( P7+) and Goodyear triple tread that were good . However , the Michelin CC2 has changed the way I can now drive in the snow , it takes me safely through snow and even some ice , the handling is almost as good as the MXM4 on dry and wet but on snow it really shines. I would never to be able to make it up my driveway in winter snow before , but with CC2 I go straight up the driveway NO problem ! This past winter here in the Northeast was the safest I have ever felt on the road in 40 years because of the CC2 tire .

Road feedback and handling isn't great. If you like sporty driving isn't a great tire. If you want a tire that you don't need to worry whatever the weather this is excellent. Decent in snow very good in cold weather and more than decent in summer time. Good levels of grip whatever the weather

After just over 2000 miles or use, I have to say that i'm quite disappointed. Dry grip is average at best and wet grip is not anywhere near what I was expecting. The tires don't work when cold or in slightly icy conditions. They also don't work well when its hot. This was my first time trying all season tires and I defo will not do it again. Better off getting a good set of summers and, if you need it, a spare set of winters. The one area I think these tires do well is in comfort. I've done a few long drives with them now and they do soak up the road well. MPG is not good.

Comprehensive fuel records since Fabia Estate purchased 3/21 with 18800 miles on clock. Front tires replaced with Cross Climate 2 in 11/21 at 23700 miles total. Average fuel used over 4900 miles was 44.09mpg. Since then 2590 miles at 41.30mpg : 6.3% worse and totally unacceptable. Other comparisons not sufficiently favourable to discount poor fuel use: noise no better, ride and steering not discernibly different. Weather not bad enough to have tried snow and ice performance.

In my 60 years of driving this is by far the best all around ( all weather ) tire I have experience with . I was amazed how it handled snow conditions here in the Northeast this last winter . This tire is worth it if you value your life on the highway .

Very predictable handling in all weather conditions. Excel's in wet and will not hydroplane when driven to road conditions. Slight increase in highway gas mileage. Good in snow and ice but not as quite as good as dedicated snow tires. Quietest tires I've ever had.

After many months of shopping around, I thought I'd give these tires a try. Really expensive, but I think you get what you pay for! These are the best tires I have ever had in my 32 years of driving. The look of them alone is almost worth the price. They are awesome in the snow. Road noise is minimal, and the grip on dry pavement is second to none.

Fitted onto a RAV 4 6 months ago. In the dry they are fine and brake fine however the feedback is not there. A Rav 4's steering is vuage but you can judge were the car is going but that is it. You know where the car is going and it is gripping but this tire is not a Goodyear F1 Eagle Asymmetric 5 Ultra high performance tire though. For the every day driver this tire is perfect. For the wet, the CC2 are again really good. The directional tire tread helps disperse water away to prevent aqua plaining. However, this maybe related to my car but it does throw up a lot of spray and covers the rear of the car quickly. This maybe a Rav 4 design or the CC2. In terms of wear, I did not check them when they were new but on the other tire reviews tests they should come with 7mm new and they are on between 5.6 and 6.1 mm. This is front and back and with 1 tire rotation after 6000 miles. In terms of comfort if the tire is on a rough patch of road it is really noisy in my rav 4 but that could be down to the little amount of insultation in the car and with bumps you generally dont feel them but you do hear them. Since I have had the CC2 they have dealt with snow once and it was about half a foot deep. They handled this really well given it is a summer bias all season tire and not a winter bias all season tire or a full winter tire. As the tire wears the grooves are meant to open up and give similar performance as the tire wears down. I will review this in due to course to see if performance drops off or stays similar to new. I have not tested on ice so I cannot comment on this. Would I buy again? Yes but only with a black circles with an offer code. I paid £135 per tire and given the fuel and wet ratings are A for rolling resistance and B for wet grip which is better than the Vredstein Quatrac Pro and the Continental All Season Contact I was tempted to buy. The CC2 is similar in price and has better rolling resistance but also seems to be the best on the dry, wet and snow from recent tire testing. The Vredstein Quatrac Pro seems to handle the dry and wet better than the CC2 from test results but that is all well and good until you have 3mm in the winter time with snow, this is when you want the best tire performance. If the tire lasts for as long as it should and given all of the performance it has minus the handling I would buy again.
