I'm receiving a new Model Y in Aug 2022, equipped with Gemini 19s. I don't want to go with 100% winter tire, since we do expect to travel way down south during the winter often.
I have experience with Micheline Cross Climate 2 on my current car, and we are happy with its performance. I'd like to stick to this option if possible.
Right now, Micheline is promising they will have one ready for 255/45/R19 (stock size on Gemini) by Apr 1, but given the current situation with shortages everywhere, I don't trust this.
I have encountered several threads that tried out CC2 on 235/50/R19 and claims it works well, mounted on Geminis. But is it safe?
Given how noob I am on tire knowledge, would someone provide some wisdom on whether this is a good choice or not? Looking at the tire size comparison, this tire diameter is 1.1% larger, 7% narrower, and 2.2% more sidewalls which all are good attributes as a winter tire...
