All those routes specify default distances. You need to let the default gateway have the highest distance since it' s the destination of last resort. (Default unless specified is 10. Usually I set my VPN distances to 5.)

At site 2, cruise into the GUI and under router monitor, look at what routes are available. There should be one for each tunnel and then your default with a higher distance.
