I've been running CC2s on my 2022 Onyx for about 17K miles. Good performance in summer, winter, rain, snow, & hot interstate driving. Currently at 8/32nds wear (10/32nds new). I believe the Primacy has a slightly longer treadwear rating, but if you find yourself in the mountains in winter, you'll be glad you are on the CC2s. Otherwise, both are fine premium tires.

100%

I don't doubt that there are better dedicated snow/ice tires, better offroad tires, and better summer/performance tires, but for a balance of all seasons and all conditions, these are hard to beat.

They are very quiet tires. This is my third set. The tread pattern is not like an off-road vehicle. Most tire shops will put them n, allow you to see what you think and swap them out for something else at no charge if you are unhappy. I suggest you try them before you judge on what they may or may not sound like.

I ran the OEM falkens for ~800 miles before switching to CC2s. NO difference in road noise, but a big positive difference in ride and handling, aside from the much superior performance in rain and snow.

Are they quieter than the OEM factory tires?

I can't give a scientific answer, but I noticed NO difference in noise from the OEM tires, both are quiet, but the CC2s are head & shoulders superior in ride, handling, and most importantly, wet & snow.
