Crossclimate 2 for Colorado winters

[CleverName]

Any opinions out there about whether the Michelin Crossclimate 2 tires will cut it for a Colorado winter, including trips up 70 for skiing? I've gotten away with them on the Subaru year round, but with the extra weight of the Y, wondering if separate winter tires will be worth the investment.

Sorry for the late reply, just joined today

They have been very stable on my M3LR in deep and packed snow on I-70, even during the times that I forgot to take the vehicle out of hold instead of putting it in roll.

This is good to hear since I’m moving from Seattle to Denver and was wondering if I’d need winter tires out there or if all weather tires would suffice. I think winter tires would get more use since it actually snows in Denver, unlike Seattle, but I like the flexibility of using one tire year round.

Yes, even though CC2s have the three-peak rating they also do well in warmer weather, which varies quite a bit in Colorado. I put the vehicle in chill mode to help prevent the tires with the softer rubber compound from wearing out as quickly.
