Always try to get Michelin tires for the winter. I think my last five cars had XIce on them, and with some careful skill, they've never failed me. I've gotten 3-4 seasons easily out of them, being properly maintained and changed over as required.

I bought 4 Michelin X-ice snow SUV tires. For the price I paid, I think Michelin could make the tire with a deeper tread than just the 8mm they provide. I find this tire does not have enough bite in deep snow for winter driving. Other winter tires provide a tread depth of 14mm. This allows for a superior bite when driving in deep snow.

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!

Good for better control in harsh winter and snow.

Excellent traction and control in snowy conditions.

Second set of X-ICE tires on an Audi A4 Quattro. Amazing performance and grip.

Outstanding performance! Great on snow AND ice. Very smooth, quiet ride.

Love these tires. Always my go to tire.

Tire cut just after 4 day of tire purchase, very shocking

Great traction in snow and ice conditions.
