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.

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.

I've always loved the X-Ice tires from Michelin. All my cars and trucks have had them. The traction is phenomenal and they are so quiet. I never look forward to putting my summer tires on as they are noisier compared to these. They usually last me 4 years and I usually give them to my family as they are still great for lighter use. I do approximatetely 60k a year. About 30k on winter and 30k on summer.

I didn't drive on these much yet, and haven't been out in snow with them yet either, but from what I did drive on these tires, they are SUPER QUIET and ride excellently! Aggressive-tread snow tires are notoriously LOUD. These aren't. I definitely lean towards "quiet comfort" when it comes to snow tires, since 90%-95% of the time I'm driving on them, the roads are clear or only just wet. Yes, a snow tire's true function is getting much better grip in slippery conditions (vs. a standard all-season tire). This tire's tread pattern appears to optimize icey-road grip performance more than deep snow grip, which I'm fine with. Tire grip in snow usually isn't the issue. The most difficult grip conditions are icey roads, which was the condition I was attempting to optimize with this tire purchase. With the amount of tread and siping maximized with this tire design, looks like I'll have that. I purchased a prior model X-Ice snow tire 8 years ago and have had very good ice grip with those tires. I am expecting more of the same (and even slightly better) with these newer tires!

I researched tires in an overjoyed that I chose for my 2012 Front Wheel Dr., Audi. These tires have more than met what I was expecting, they are sassy to the elements! I am not a car person like my husband, but wanted to the ice x after I read other reviews. I feel safe and confident driving in the North Idaho snow!

I moved from the city to up North. WOW all the snow we get and ice. It snowed like almost every second day. I'm so happy l bought these tires. When l drive on the road with these tires -WOW. The car with these tires never seemed that there was any trouble with the snow or ice . I felt so safe driving my car with them on. They are worth every penny you paid for them. Especially when your love one takes the car and you know you have great winter tires with good rubber and they are going to be safe driving. Who can ask for any better feeling with themselves then known you or your love ones will be safe driving with Michelin's Tires. Thanks Michelin for producing such great tires.

I drive 50,000 to 80,000 km a year. I have worn out a few Ford Escapes on these tires and wouldn't buy anything else. They are smoother and quieter than all season tires and out perform them in all conditions summer and winter. I get 80,000+ kms out of them and they work in snow until the end.

Bought a set of these for my new VW Taos. Great looking and even better performing! I've had many sets of winter tires over the years, these are easily the best! It's been both very icy and snowy here in the last few weeks and the X-Ice snow has been very sure footed in all conditions. They are also very quiet on dry pavement. I've always been a big fan of Michelins all season and Pilot series tires, now I'm sold on their winter tires as well!

I bought these tires last winter when we already had snow and bad weather. I noticed the different right away. I was sliding alot less around town and felt more comfortable on the road. Unfortunately I got a got new vehicle and the size I bought won't fit it. But I do plan on buying the same ones again for my new car.

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.
