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.

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 have been driving with these for 2 months now, and they are the best snow/ice tires Ive had. Even driving on black ice, you dont slip. Everyone else is slipping on the roads from the ice and I dont even feel the ice. I definetly recommend these tires, it makes winter driving so much safer.

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.

I have purchased this brand of snow tires for the past twelve years for all of my automobiles. I believe this is my fifth set. Snow tires are so important for winter driving. Yes expensive, but really how much does an accident cost? Everyone spends so much money on 4X4s or AWD, but getting stuck does not usually cause an accident, not being able to stop does cause the accident. People would be money ahead to invest in snow tires. Excellent tires/product.

Purchased a full set for my 2017 Ram Promaster FWD work van. Put them on in late October as the wet and cold weather hits the Pacific Northwest. They grip well going uphill in wet conditions from a stop (particularly downtown seattle's hills). Stop short on wet roads without the ABS kicking in. They feel a little softer in the sidewalls than my summer tires when cornering or changing lanes, just a bit squishy/slow to react. I increased the air pressure to 40psi to compensate. Handled great in compact and fresh snow/slush, very little spin, even on an incline. Braking is the most impressive feature. Many collisions avoided. Safety is priceless. We will see how many seasons they last (4-5+). There is no weather-related excuse not to get to a jobsite with these tires, but you may be the only one that gets there!

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 .

We have been buying ONLY Michelin tires for our vehicles for 20 years. They provide us with reliable quality that lasts a long time. This saves us money in the long term because we do not have to keep going through the process of buying new tires too often. And in snowy Ontario during the winter, it gives us an overwhelming sense of safety.

My research showed that Michelin X-Ice were the best winter tires available. I drive a lot and it is important. I was surprised to see that the tread on the X-Ice tires was not so aggressive, as in the old days of "snow tires". The difference is in the rubber and design. Though they look nearly like all season tires they are fantastic in snow and ice and get me through anything that Toronto weather can give.

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.
