Running CC2s as winter tyres on my Fiesta ST X and they are absolutely brilliant.
Had 1 drive through some very snowy alpine roads in a snow storm and it went pretty well. The tyres do seem to struggle slightly with slush that's been snowed on, but tbf I've never driven a tyre that doesn't.
They're fine in the wet, just a little dead in terms of feedback and fairly understeery...
In the dry I was very impressed with how long I could push on backroads before struggling with temperature. Road feedback is pretty good, but that might be from the lighter rims, not just the tyres.
Overall I can highly recommend this tyre if you don't have to go through heavy snow regularly.
(Don't know about ice, but I'm sure they'd struggle pretty hard)
