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 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.

I previously had X-Ice tires on my VW Rabbit. They were really good tires but the X-Ice Snow are even better! The X-Ice Snow gripped icy roads a little better than the X-Ice but the snow traction was vastly better. I recommend them whenever anyone talks about winter 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.

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 purchased my first all electric car, a Hyundai Ionic 6, and wanted to ensure that I had the best possible tire for the winter roads. The Michelin X-Ice Snow tires were an excellent choice as I had comfortable travels with confidence on winter roads here in Nova Scotia where we regularly have snow, slush and ice. After a full winter’s travel on the tires I checked the tread pattern and see very minimal wear. I hit several of the multitude of terrible potholes in the pavement and did not suffer any damage to the tires while there were many others blowing tires on the same roads. I am very happy either the design, durability and strength of the tires. T HR weight of the car was not an issue with the tires and I am very happy with the car and its ride on the Michelin tires.

Great tire, but a bit on the pricier side of winter tires probably because of the reputation and advertising. Tires are very quiet, and grip well in most conditions, including ice. I would not recommend them for deep snow though. It depends on what type of winter conditions they are driven in. If there is not a great deal of heavy snow, they are super. If there are many heavy snow falls, then maybe a tire with deeper groves and sipes.

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 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.

We didn't have enough snow this winter to know how well these perform as winter tires, but they met one of my biggest requirements - they are quiet! I bought the EV rated version and on my very quiet Mustang Mach E they are as quiet as the original all seasons.
