Wonderful tire. I am absolutely impressed after the harsh winter of 2026. I use it in Hungary with summers reaching 40 °C and winters well below freezing (especially in 2026 with several weeks of snow and freezing rain). After 3 years, I must say this the perfect all-year tire for this climate.
Jon claims that some snow grip should be sacrificed for better wet performance, but after this winter, I dare to disagree. Michelin understood that you need every piece of grip in the snow to keep you mobile and safe even in rare winter conditions. This is exactly what makes CC2 a real all-year tire. True, there is some uncertainty in heavy rain, but you can easily manage it with reduced speed. A perfect tire on the dry, limited wear even in summer heatwaves and winter-tire-like capabilities in the snow: a miracle tire indeed.
