Continental IceContact 3 vs Michelin CrossClimate 2 SUV — Compared

“I also live in Michigan and we get plenty of all four seasons. I put CC2s on my 2017 RAV4 Hybrid. They have handled all weather conditions up to and including moderate snow with aplomb. If I had to buy new tires tomorrow, I'd get another set.”

“I had CC2s on my Forester and loved them. However I've read that when they start to wear they become loud and choppy”

I had planned to get CC2s until I heard about the CC3s being released but I don’t need them until next spring. Unless there’s negative reviews between now and then, I plan to get them hopefully on sale at Costco. There’s my 2 cents ONLY Thank You! I liked the CC2's I had on my RX. Run Flats are new for me on the NX. I do like the Bridgestone's that came with my NX 450h+. I do miss the softer ride of the fatter tires and smaller rims of my RX. Although the NX is definitely more nimble and corners better. Not sure how the Bridgestones would handle in the Snow where the CC2's excel.”
