This are not the same Michelin X-Ice I'm a long time user of this brand and had them on my last 4 vehicles. These ones spin at stops, have noticeable reduced breaking distance, and I haven't fishtailed since I was a kid so I was very surprised by the lack of performance. I will be moving on. Maybe not from Michelin but the X-Ice? No dice.

Bought these tires in 2020 and have used them through now a second winter ( albeit just starting) but I must say what really stands out is the performance on ice. When the season starts, I like to come to a complete stop and start to see "how bad it is out there" and compared to my previous brand of tires, the stopping power and take off has been the best so far. They produce very little noise when on pavement and handle very well in dry conditions including wet.

I left for work early in the morning of Toronto's big snowstorm last January .. having to work my way through streets that had yet to see a snow plow … this was my first test of the Michelin X-Ice Snow tires and they were fantastic. I do have an all wheel drive crossover (Mazda CX-30) and it only took me an extra 8 minutes to get to work … I felt in total control of the car. Worth every penny I spent on these tires!!!

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 am a long-term Michelin fan. When I buy tires for my cars, I always buy Michelin. I had to replace the Michelin X-Ice 3 winter tires on my 2016 Mercedes E400 wagon. (I love the X-Ice 3 and their predecessors -- ran them on all of our cars in winter.) Chose the X-Ice Snow as the replacements because they are the natural successor to X-Ice 3. Big mistake! The X-Ice Snow were unstable at speeds over 70 km/h -- even the smallest movement in the steering wheel resulted in a fear-inducing wobble. It was like the car was rolling its ankle. No confidence. We use this car to drive to Lake Louise to ski every weekend -- about 400 km return. After one trip, I had it. I had the X-Ice Snow removed and replaced with Michelin Pilot Alpin. After that, no issues. AVOID THE X-ICE SNOW.

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.

I have always been a Michelin fan since past 7 years and always relied on the brand. However, the X ICE Winter tires didnt set my expectation right. I installed brand new set of winter tires on my brand new Honda CRV but it keeps slipping in little bit of ice and doesnt have as much traction as expected. So I am not satisfied.

I moved from the city to up North. WOW all the snow we get and ice. It snowed like almost every second day. I'm so happy l bought these tires. When l drive on the road with these tires -WOW. The car with these tires never seemed that there was any trouble with the snow or ice . I felt so safe driving my car with them on. They are worth every penny you paid for them. Especially when your love one takes the car and you know you have great winter tires with good rubber and they are going to be safe driving. Who can ask for any better feeling with themselves then known you or your love ones will be safe driving with Michelin's Tires. Thanks Michelin for producing such great tires.

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.

I have three vehicles, I have Michelin tires on all three . X Ice for winter and pilot and defenders . They stand up to all the specifics that are listed . The best tire I've used , no more studded winters for me ,X ice out perform and studded winter along with mor environmentally friendly. Highly recommend any of the Michelin lines .
