11,000 miles in on the CC2s on a heavy Kia EV9 Wind. Our most worn rear tire is measuring 8.25/32" center, 7.75-8/32" edges. So we're maybe 30% in to the usable life of the tire and might get 35,000 miles out of them; more if we rotate with the fronts (which are at 9-9.25/32" center, mid-8s edges). Not amazing, but also not terrible for a heavy car with tons of torque put to good use. We've driven these in snow maybe a dozen times and they've been very good. Most of the rest of the driving is boring dry pavement, where they've also been very good. No complaints other than price, which is absurd ($370/ea for the XL / 113 load rating).

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Kia Motors EV9 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I got these to be an all-weather tire on my Kia EV9, replacing the awful-in-snow stock Kumhos. This size (265/55R19) matches the OE load rating (113 / XL) and is near enough to the OE size (255/60R19). I've taken them skiing many times this winter and they were flawless in the snow. No complaints in the dry or wet conditions, though I'm not pushing the limits by any means.
The overall vehicle efficiency is roughly in line with quoted EPA mileage, but I have not been measuring it closely. Possibly slightly worse.
Happy to be getting out of the changing tires twice a year game. That was a huge hassle and I don't really have the spare space to be storing off-season tires, either.
