But the actual test results across brands show the cc2 ranking in the top half of the "true winter tires" on the market in snow driving.
I've used them in deep snow and challenging conditions and had no percentile difference in capability from a real winter.
The thing people REALLY get wrong is that a snow tire is only best at driving ON SNOW. You lose critical performance, especially in braking, on any dry surface of any temperature. So unless you live on a dirt road in the far north of America there is really no rational reason to run a snow tire compared to what else is available thse days.
Both weatheractive and cc2 putting up the best all around performance numbers, and good tread wear, and good rolling resistance.

It does look like cc2 is more of a winter compund than all season and is compromised like most all seasons for 4 seasons. There are also perf winter tires that work very well in dry and cold but also when weather changes quickly like freezing rain.
