I researched tires in an overjoyed that I chose for my 2012 Front Wheel Dr., Audi. These tires have more than met what I was expecting, they are sassy to the elements! I am not a car person like my husband, but wanted to the ice x after I read other reviews. I feel safe and confident driving in the North Idaho snow!

I bought it one week ago and replaced Dunlop Winter Maxx on my WRX manual. They are comfortable as all Michelin tires but not suitable for performance cars such as WRX. The steering and braking are so vague, I cannot feel the feedback from the road. The response when I steer has a significant lag that let me feel like driving a boat. If they are on SUVs they would be fine.

Handles snow and slush with incredible ease. I traveled on some nasty roads here in Michigan recently and never worried for my safety or had issues with traction. It was actually kind of fun… Tires are pretty quiet too even on dry roads, which is a nice bonus. However, ice is still ice and there is only so much a tire can do. They certainly have more traction on ice than all-seasons, but the difference isn’t as noticeable.

After having owned several generations of the Pilot Sport Alpin, my tire dealer only had the X-Ice Snows available this time. They’re great in the snow and wet, but REALLY annoying in dry handling, in that they make a lot of noise above maybe 0.3g. The Alpins NEVER exhibited this characteristic….

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!

We purchased these tires and they work great in snow storms, better than most on black ice and keep us clinging to the roads throughout the months of bad weather we experience. We will continue to purchase these tires as long as we face winter driving!

I have had three sets of X-Ice's on a Chevy Malibu, Mercedes GLA45 and a Subaru Impreza. What makes me keep coming back is the fact that they handle well not only in the snow but in the dry and even in warm weather. When you travel from Colorado through Utah and to Las Vegas your temps can change from below zero to 80's, heavy snow to sunny and dry all in the same trip. The Michelins perform well at any temps, any altitude and any road conditions I have encountered. I left them on during this past summer on my Impreza before I traded it and the dealer wanted them on rather than the OEM's. I am thinking about getting them for my new Hyundai Kona. If you want a tire than can function well in a wide range of conditions this is it. BTW, I drive at least 30,000 miles per year for work and pleasure.

I've always loved the X-Ice tires from Michelin. All my cars and trucks have had them. The traction is phenomenal and they are so quiet. I never look forward to putting my summer tires on as they are noisier compared to these. They usually last me 4 years and I usually give them to my family as they are still great for lighter use. I do approximatetely 60k a year. About 30k on winter and 30k on summer.

HAD THESE TIRES FOR 6 YEARS ON OUR NISSAN ROGUE SPORT, EXCELLENT GRIP AND WEAR.TREAD LIFE. TYPICALLY USED IN THE WINTER FOR 10-15KM IN ALBERTA, CANADA WEATHER. ON AN 18" RIM THE 255/65/R18 ARE VERY QUIET AND COMFORTABLE. RECENTLY BOUGHT THEM AGAIN, HOWEVER, I AM CURIOUS HOW MUCH BETTER STUDDED VERSIONS WOULD BE.

These tires are simply amazing. They are worth every penny that I spent on them. Also, I have 100% confidence in my driving with these tires in this weather. I live in Duluth Minnesota and these tires are much needed in the winter. I appreciate the quality of these particular tires, I will recommend these to friends and family and always buy these tires whenever I need them
