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 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 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 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 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.

I had two sets of x ice snow suv for my Range Rover and Tesla model x plaid. Range Rover is heavy and the tires do good in winter. Tesla has over 1000 lb ft of torque had one time slippered on the road bump in the snow road. Overall I only use this brand and this series. I think other brand is either too thick or too thin.

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 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!

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 bought my 2 pairs of Michelin - X-ICE® Snow last winter and felt the difference immediately. Their grip on roads with snow and ice is much better than my Michelin Primacy MXM4 that came with the car. I drove around 4-5K KMs last winter and never had a moment to complain about the Michelin - X-ICE® Snow tires.
