Tire Advice: CC2 vs others

The CrossClimate 2 had its moment. There are better tires on the market, now.  Then again, it might be a poetic match for a Tesla…

I have an Id.4 with 2 sizes of 20" tires and the options are limited. If you need a tire that's great in the snow and doesn't hit your range very much on a year round basis I'd go with the CC2's. I'm at 90's miles now and on my second set after getting almost 60k on the first set. They are pricey but IMO they're worth it.

I don't need a tire that's great in the snow and doesn't hit range much. As I mentioned above, Price, Ride, and Quiet are my priorities. I will sacrifice a little snow and mileage for those.

I was going to delete and lock the thread, but sometimes a person needs to learn a lesson.  Tires are the furthest thing from universal. As I understand it, back in the Bad Old Days, you would have a 15” tire (for instance) that would be roughly the same size as any other 15” tire. It’s not even a little bit like that now.  The first thing you need to do is tell people what vehicle you have. You can fit 18”, 19”, 20”, and 21” wheels to either a Model 3 or a Model Y, but the tires will be different sizes  in every case.  Saying “I need tires” is like walking onto the shadiest used car lot and saying “I can afford $400 a month” - you’re going to get the absolute shittiest deal imaginable.

rgr, updated.

Next questions: where are you, and what do you need a tire to do? I’m assuming that you need winter traction if you’re looking at the CC2, but if you don’t, there are much better tires out there.

I did mentioned in the post, I'm in central IL. We have cold winters and hot summers. Not a ton of snow and I have an SUV that will be prioritized in the snow. I don't want them to be terrible, but I would sacrifice that a little for cost, comfort, and quiet.

I assumed you needed winter traction or you wouldn't be comparing the CC2. With 18's that opens up a lot of options and lower cost. Finding a tire with the required XL rating for an EV that will last very long for under $200 probably doesn't exist. Anyone I've spoken with that have tried budget tires on an EV end up complaining when they only get 20-25,000 miles out of them.

Yeah I've kind of feared that. I don't need amazing snow tires, I have an SUV for that and it doesn't snow too much. But, they need to not suck in snow and rain. So I am going for all weather with a focus on those 3 categories. Still leaning cc2 though

Sorry - I missed that.  If it were me, I’d get the Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 with PNCS. They cost a little more, but they’re a fantastic tire, and they’re made specifically for EV use.

Need some assistance please. Is there a difference in these tires. I can't seem to match a Part Number with the PNCS feature of these. I called firestone and they can install Pirelli part # 4084200 https://www.tireagent.com/products/pirelli-p-zero-as-plus-3-4084200 I also found these 2 online: https://www.prioritytire.com/by-brand/pirelli-tires?model=8302&size=2491 https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Pirelli&tireModel=P+Zero+AS+Plus+3&sidewall=Blackwall&partnum=345YR8P0ASP3XLNCS&tab=Sizes I can have this last one delivered to firestone for install. I just want to make sure I get the PNCS version, and it appears there is a AS PLUS 3 version that does not have PNCS. Need info on that part number but I can't find anything!

The PNCS model is [4206700](https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/pirelli-p-zero-as-plus-3-ncs-elect/p/161404). The one you listed from Tire Agent is not.

Just saying thanks for the recommendation. These tires are so noticeably quieter and smoother. I dunno about the mileage difference, but I don't care. Definitely recommending these in the future.
