    Actually this is for the stealth performance so it is awd. I was mostly trying to make the impression that the true snow handling was going to be rare and not make it a big factor in my decision making process. As you put it, the issue is what is the better tire for most of my SoCal driving? To me, better is great efficiency and comfort over sport handling. I think CCs tick the comfort box while not sacrificing too much handling. The last issue then is efficiency. Are the CCs more efficient? The $64M question. :)

    My bad. I doubt the CC+ is more efficient, but I would guess they are within 5% of OEM tire efficiency.

    Well the new “choos” are on. So far my lifetime on the original primacy and my driving style over 3 years / 25K has been 243 Wh/mile. Shall see where we land with these in the next few years and 25K miles.

    First ride home impression - I can’t tell a difference in noise or handling. Maybe a slight humm but I could also be imagining it. So far so good.

    I just got 4 235/45R-18 MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE2 XL installed they seem a bit more aggressive of a pattern vs the + but so far I don't notice any extra noise and they ride very nice. At $197 a tire Im happy.
