I have been an auto service tech for 42 years and have dealt with many tire problems, but never Michelin. I have always put Michelins on my vehicles throughout the years for peace of mind and assurance. Michelin X - ICE Snow exceeds my expectations every winter.

I got my tires put on 4 days ago and they are amazing. I just had a toddler run out from between 2 parked cars right in front of me . I was able to stop within inches of the kid . I am so thankful for how quick I was able to stop . I am going to recommend these tires to everyone.

I have put these snows on all my vehicles and recommended them to friends for over 15 years. I previously used Nokia, but these are better. As the name suggests, they are optimized for ice, slush, and moderate snow. So for the average urban dweller, they are outstanding. I notice little difference between these and my summer tires. Winter doesn't bother them. The only caveat is if you live in the snow belt: there are better choices for deep snow.

My first exposure to Michelin tires was over 50 years ago. My Dad had an older Chrysler that used to float over the road. Typical for the period. He purchased a set of Michelin tires for the car. These tires completely changed the car. The ride immediately became significantly smoother and quieter. Any road imperfections seemed to disappear. The steering response/handling became sharper and more precise. For these reasons, every car and truck I have owned since has worn a set of Michelin tires. I also appreciate the longevity and extended wear of the tires.

In Winnipeg and the southern half of Manitoba, we get all four seasons over short periods of time. I had four Michelin X-Ice tires on my Venza this past winter and felt very secure when we were at -40 and also when temperatures went above zero. I felt comfortable driving in the snow and on ice. And when the snow and ice started to melt I had good reaction driving in the remaining water. The tire design kept snow out of the tires and prevented buildup and braking problems. They are great winter snow tires and I recommend them highly.

I bought 4 Michelin X-ice snow SUV tires. For the price I paid, I think Michelin could make the tire with a deeper tread than just the 8mm they provide. I find this tire does not have enough bite in deep snow for winter driving. Other winter tires provide a tread depth of 14mm. This allows for a superior bite when driving in deep snow.

This is my second set of X-Ice tires and I’ll likely purchase a third. I’m used to aggressive looking winter tires, the more tread and metal studs the better. The X-Ice is more science than style; more performance than fashion statement. All that said, the sales incentives certainly help . . .

I didn't drive on these much yet, and haven't been out in snow with them yet either, but from what I did drive on these tires, they are SUPER QUIET and ride excellently! Aggressive-tread snow tires are notoriously LOUD. These aren't. I definitely lean towards "quiet comfort" when it comes to snow tires, since 90%-95% of the time I'm driving on them, the roads are clear or only just wet. Yes, a snow tire's true function is getting much better grip in slippery conditions (vs. a standard all-season tire). This tire's tread pattern appears to optimize icey-road grip performance more than deep snow grip, which I'm fine with. Tire grip in snow usually isn't the issue. The most difficult grip conditions are icey roads, which was the condition I was attempting to optimize with this tire purchase. With the amount of tread and siping maximized with this tire design, looks like I'll have that. I purchased a prior model X-Ice snow tire 8 years ago and have had very good ice grip with those tires. I am expecting more of the same (and even slightly better) with these newer tires!

A great winter tire that provides exceptional grip on ice and pulls you though snowy roads with confidence. Excellent stopping ability on slippery roads. As for durability hard to determine as have only used for one winter but expect to get many more from them if advertisements are an indicator. Overall a great tire for the price which by the way is steeper than other line of winter tires on the market.

I drive 50,000 to 80,000 km a year. I have worn out a few Ford Escapes on these tires and wouldn’t buy anything else. They are smoother and quieter than all season tires and out perform them in all conditions summer and winter. I get 80,000+ kms out of them and they work in snow until the end.
