Had no problems with slippages or sliding or anything like that during the winter, but it still means you need to drive carefully! I only had one slide when someone braked suddenly in front of me with lots of room ahead of him in moving traffic. barely avoided an accident.

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 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.

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 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.

I had this winter tires since early 2022 put on my 2020 forester however they performed poorly on ice fish tailed twice even when driving slowly in intersections. I have lost confidence with this set. 225/60/R17 on a forester 2025 I bet the oem tires would have performed better on ice. Very disappointed although it is good on deep snow and dry conditions apart from that stay away from this. They marketed this tire that it will perform on ice hence the name x-ice but does not live to its name. Note: tires not even that much worn out.

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.

Used the X-ICE over winter on Chevy Bolt EUV. Performed really well in wet, icy and snowy conditions. Good handling in high speed, no vibration. I put at least 15,000km on them and there is not noticeable wear at all. Well, I’m driving no more 40 km/h on rumps, trying to avoid sharp turns, excessive acceleration and braking. I drive fast when I go straight. These tires will last you for at least 5-6 seasons times 10-15k even on a heavy electric vehicle.

We are on our 2nd set of winter tires on both vehicles and will always buy Michelin tires winter and summer. The last set of winters we bought lasted 10 seasons and we’re amazing with lots of grip up to the last kilometre and we drive a lot. Bought new ones last year for the truck and we were the only ones to get out of our street when there was 50 cm of snow.

I have Michelin X-Ice snow tires for my RAV4, they are supposed to be the best or at least one of the best and yet I still find that I have mediocre traction on snow and ice (slide around a bit on snowy roads, have to nearly crawl around circular on-ramps)
