I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion

We live in the Phoenix, AZ area where (at least this last year), rain is scarce and snow is non-existent (although drive a bit north and you'll see some). Discount tire recommended the Defender 2 over the CC2, but at the end of the day the price difference for 4 was only about $150, so I went with the CC2's. Our OEM Falcons on our 2019 Touring lasted just under 30k miles, somewhat disappointing but heat here is a b***h (we see rubber tire tracks in our driveway all the time...). Yes, the Falken ride was a bit smoother, but the CC2's, while maybe an overkill for our environment, are just fine- a little harsher ride, but not unacceptable.
