Honestly everyone is complaining these tires suck on there AWD escapes or rav4s or CRVs w/e i have a set (only 2) on the back of my genesis coupe that sits like 1 inch off the ground and it trucks through snow, ice, slush, I think a lot of you need to just learn to drive in the snow.

Use them for a winter season on a Tesla Mode 3 RWD. I am used to the X-Ice on a different car. They improved the traction on snow vs X-Ice significantly and the grip on ice is still very good. I noticed a bit tire noise between 50-70kmh (specially with an EV car) but they are impressively quiet at highway speed.

I trust Michelin to perform on and off the road during the worse winter conditions. I use my 2016 Range Rover HSE Sport in the worst winter conditions, and also do a lot of off roading for ice fishing and hunting camp in the woods. When there is no plowed roads, these get the job done and have never failed to perform even in the deepest snow and through streams which land rover can easily pass through. I chose the Michelin X-ICE 255-55-R20 for its aggressive and wide foot print to conquer the worst snow that winter can through at us in Canadian winters.

I purchased a set of X ice snow about a month Complaint is that there is a lot of lateral movement/sway in quick response It seems as to the point of being dangerous and unstable at high speeds. As far as Strait lines stability in very bad weather, the tires do function as advertised. I have also tried increasing tire pressure by 3 pounds of pressure all around and no successful results.

I have Michelin X-Ice snow tires for my RAV4, they are supposed to be the best or at least one of the best and yet I still find that I have mediocre traction on snow and ice (slide around a bit on snowy roads, have to nearly crawl around circular on-ramps)

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.

I purchased these tires in December to replace the supplied mud & Snow tires on my new Rave4. These tires ride much smother than the Mud&Snow tires and were great on ice and snow over the whole winter in Manitoba. I will be keeping these tires over the full year even though they may ware a little more during the summer months. My first ice and snow tires on my old Montana lasted 90,000 km year round before getting to the wear mark.

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 bought my tires last fall, and drive all winter in ice and snow conditions everyday. I start work at 5am so had to leave very early in the mornings. I was on the road some mornings before the snow-grader and had to drive in some pretty bad conditions. The tires were fantastic! I had perfect traction and felt quite secure knowing that I wouldn’t have any trouble at all in those conditions!

I had heard about Michelin a lot from my friends, and based on their advice, I bought a new set last month. I feel they are fine for snow but not for icy conditions in Edmonton or Alberta, especially when your car is not an SUV or all-wheel drive. So, I will not recommend this set of tires for small cars.
