I’m on Cross Climate + for 3.5 years now with a rear wheel drive. I got them while living in New England before winter, which provides opportunity. I have 32 K on them with plenty of tread still. When they were knew, I drove on the interstate at night in a huge downpour. You couldn’t see the road or the lanes, as the water was collecting on the road and it was in the country. I slowed down to 40 just because, but honestly, they cut through the water so well, I couldn’t even feel it. One cut on them was there was noticeable noise at low speeds that would disappear once you sped up. After some thousands of miles it went away. I don’t know if the 2 still has that. I have a Lexus LS, which are phenomenally quiet so it was significant. They did well on both snow and ice through one winter. With a rear wheel, I didn’t push it. Before this I went through two sets of Michelin Primacy’s on a Lexus ES. To me, these were just as nice to drive on. Once broken in, just as quiet (again, I have a very quiet car that may fudge that, but I read a review that said they were pretty equal). I discovered them before they were really popular here and watching reviews from European channels that tested them in big snow in Northern Europe and raves about them.
