When I'm driving on snow covered roads, I am so glad to have these tires equipped. It's like the snow is not even there. They also handle exceptionally well on icy roads. The tires are also pretty quiet for winter tires - on dry, bare pavement, they're quieter than the factory-installed all season tires. I wouldn't consider anything but Michelin when buying tires.

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!

Well, we should have had snow out here, but none. Not even rain. So only commenting on dry road performance. Ride is good with no objectionable tire noise. We have had one panic brake episode due to deer. Forester slowed down quickly with no control issues. ABS was not cycling, but must have been close. Looking forward to see how this tire performs in nasty weather.

I bought the 4 new winter last year in the fall it was my first time buying Michelin X- ice tires . I was very pleased with my purchase the traction was great on snow and rain .Was very happy while driving on the highway on how quite the tires where . Since winter tires are usually louder then summer tires . But with the Michelin tires the highway ride was quite . I would recommend these tires , if I need to change my tires next time I would opt for Michelin tires .

I had this winter tires since early 2022 put on my 2020 forester however they performed poorly on ice fish tailed twice even when driving slowly in intersections. I have lost confidence with this set. 225/60/R17 on a forester 2025 I bet the oem tires would have performed better on ice. Very disappointed although it is good on deep snow and dry conditions apart from that stay away from this. They marketed this tire that it will perform on ice hence the name x-ice but does not live to its name. Note: tires not even that much worn out.

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.

I have purchased Michelin Winter Tires for over a decade now. I have run X-Ice and X-Ice2 in the past on our Ford Focus and currently run Michelin Latitude X-Ice on our large SUV. After reviewing what was available we chose the Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV for our new small SUV. The grip on ice and in deep snow is excellent. Probably the best version of the X-Ice tires we have bought to date.

Bought a set of these for my new VW Taos. Great looking and even better performing! I've had many sets of winter tires over the years, these are easily the best! It's been both very icy and snowy here in the last few weeks and the X-Ice snow has been very sure footed in all conditions. They are also very quiet on dry pavement. I've always been a big fan of Michelins all season and Pilot series tires, now I'm sold on their winter tires as well!

Used the X-ICE over winter on Chevy Bolt EUV. Performed really well in wet, icy and snowy conditions. Good handling in high speed, no vibration. I put at least 15,000km on them and there is not noticeable wear at all. Well, I’m driving no more 40 km/h on rumps, trying to avoid sharp turns, excessive acceleration and braking. I drive fast when I go straight. These tires will last you for at least 5-6 seasons times 10-15k even on a heavy electric vehicle.

I wanted a snow tire that would be quiet and not destroy my gas mileage. The Michelin X-Ice Snow performed well on both counts. Gas mileage did go up, but not as much as other tires I’ve used, and they were as quiet as my All-season Michelin Defenders are.
