From a general view point, the all weather tires (winter rated) are so good that I have no plans on buying a set of winters for my daily driver. I had that plan initially when I bought my Toyota. But after driving on the Cross Climate 2s, any desire to spend the money for winters has gone out the window. This is for my situation in the climate conditions I experience. Do the Blizzaks perform better than the CC2s? Yes, but at the extremes. Same with the 4S' in dry weather compared to the CC2s. Regular driving there really are only marginal differences between the 4S' and CC2s. Wet performance is a different situation. The stability and confidence I have with the 4S' are immediate compared to the CC2s. That's the only weak point I can bring up with the CC2s.
Point I'm making for a general discussion is the technology that keeps improving with tires in the all weather category is just amazing and I look forward to the next generation of all weathers to see how much better they can be.
