“I use CC2s as my winter tires on my Bolt, mostly because I wanted to get smaller rims as well but OEM tires still had plenty of life left and are just fine in the summer. Not using actual winter tires as Colorado weather is too unpredictable, snow happens from September to May but it's still mostly dry and often hot, even mid January there's usually a week of 60F+ and sunny. The tires are excellent. Costco tire centers are not.”

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
