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.

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.

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 needed snow and ice tires for my move to Squamish. Traveling the Sea to Sky road over and along mountain roads can be dangerous in rain and ice and snow. The Ice and snow Michelin tires stabilizes my Toyota Prius C. It was a surprise feeling of gripping the road like my all season tires by another maker never did. I feel much safer witth these tires.

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 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 own a driving school and I bought a set of X-Ice tires for one of my training cars. They are excellent tires. They have a comfortable, quiet ride and they handle well on snow and ice as well as on dry roads. I'll be buying more of them for my other training cars next fall.

I purchased 4 of these tires for the winter season of 2020-2021 and am more than pleased with the reliability and performance of these tires during the winter weather season! I never doubted these Michelin tires would keep me safe and they never let me down once.

Used Michelin tires for almost 13 years in 4 different vehicles . Drive long distance on highways in winter . Never failed on me. Last year due to mostly working from home, though I had winter tires whole season but could drive hardly 2K against 10K in a normal work year. Happy customer

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.
