I’ve got them on the front, having done the rears in CC2. Not noticing much between the 2 and 3 to be honest. Both feel great on the car

Presumably 17 inch? My understanding is that Michelin are not producing CC3s for 18 inch wheels. Would be delighted to be proved wrong!

No, I've just looked. I can get 4 x 18" CC2 tyres for our Trophy from National Tyre for £165.59 each including 10% off. Boy have they shot up in price since we last bought them.

So far, I have not found CC3s in 18".

Edit:

Sorry, should have been more precise...

So far, I have not found CC3s in 235/45 R18.

Variety of CC3s on black circles in 18s didn't see 235s though

Meant 235/45s

 

[LenEV2016]

lots of sizes available

Can't get them in 235 at the moment it seems

 

[LenEV2016]

18s available on cc3 sports also but again not 235/45

 

[LenEV2016]

Just 235/50 R18s and 235/55 R18s

Strange why they dont

We had two cars a few years ago that I wanted all season tyres for.

We could get either CC2s or Bridgestone Weather Control A005 for our Honda (205/55/16), but the Bridges were way dearer.

For the Mitsubishi Spacestar (195/55/15), at that time CC2s weren't available in that size, so I went for the Bridges, which were on a really good deal at the time. I got 5 and they were 30% off.

They are available now, but in a reversal of the previous example, they are way more expensive than the Bridgestones.

Michelins are way too expensive. Just fitted four 215/50 R 17 Goodyear Vectors to my MG4 for £500 all in. Excellent performance and very similar tread pattern to the Michelins

 

[securespark]

By comparison, how much were the Michelin tyres?

 

[LenEV2016]

Not much more on black circles with the 15% off deal £578

The Kwik Fit chap showed me a Bridgestone tyre in the depot which was also very similar to the CC pattern.

I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that...

I guess that tread pattern with all the sipes is the most efficient at dealing with the white stuff.

All manufacturers will be asking a computer what the best combo thread pattern is, and the computer will spit out the same answer for all of them. And I guess R&D will eventually converge to the best pattern anyway.

Yep, 17s on my SE

From my own experience over many years of driving, tread patterns being similar has no indication that the tyres themselves will be of equal quality. That said, hopefully your tyres serve you well though. I’m happy with the Michelins for now anyway.
