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 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.

This was my first year getting Michelin tires. I was very satisfied with their performance. I have a 17 year old new driver, who drove in the snow for the first time and she was very comfortable and felt secure on the road. Now if we can only do something about the crazy drivers on the road. lol.

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.

I drove the whole of last winter on a new set of X-Ice Snow. They were excellent and I couldn't fault them in any way. The grip on ice and snow was impressive. But for me their best feature was their silence. They were very quiet on all types of road surfaces. That's in total contrast to my Michelin Primax all-seasons that came on my car (2021 Acura TLX). I wish I knew what summer or all-season Michelins were as quiet. I'd buy a set.

Handles snow and slush with incredible ease. I traveled on some nasty roads here in Michigan recently and never worried for my safety or had issues with traction. It was actually kind of fun… Tires are pretty quiet too even on dry roads, which is a nice bonus. However, ice is still ice and there is only so much a tire can do. They certainly have more traction on ice than all-seasons, but the difference isn’t as noticeable.

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.

We use this tyre for racing sno-drift rally during icy years. We use a tyre shredder to open up the tread a bit and they are unbeatable on ice (exept compared to studded tyres) Deep snow the choice was Yokohama’s A034 but they no longer make them so we would cut out some of the tread block to help clear snow. Such a useful and adaptable tyre. Best road legal snow tyre for Michigan, I run them on my 2wd 911 daily driver and they have never let me down.

As someone who has used the X-Ice line in the past, but felt that on-center feel was lacking, the new version is a revelation. Snow tires are certainly not intended to allow drivers to centrifuge their passengers like a dedicated summer tire will, but these do surprisingly well. Extremely impressed with these on my rear drive BMW wagon.
