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 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 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.

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 purchased these tires in December to replace the supplied mud & Snow tires on my new Rave4. These tires ride much smother than the Mud&Snow tires and were great on ice and snow over the whole winter in Manitoba. I will be keeping these tires over the full year even though they may ware a little more during the summer months. My first ice and snow tires on my old Montana lasted 90,000 km year round before getting to the wear mark.

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.

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'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.

These tires are superb !! There is nothing like a high quality product to provide the ultimate safety, comfort & performance .... and these tires deliver that in spades. After driving more than 38 yrs in numerous vehicles ( VW, Toyota, Subaru, Land Rover and now my Audi ), the Michelin tire has always been my " go to ". I have lived in a northern climate for more than 26 years and the Michelin team just keeps raising the bar in developing an amazing tire for the Canadian consumer. The grip and tread pattern in all types of snow & inclement weather is simply ' excellent ' ! Once again my heartfelt thanks to the entire Michelin team and my hats off for a " top of the market " snow tire !! Can't wait to see what's rolled out next year ?!

After purchasing these tires for the Alaskan winter, I am very pleased. First off, the tires are very quiet, and there is no noticeable power loss from my all seasons. The tread pattern also handles slush with ease. I have made several drives along the Alcan and the numbered roads in Alaska and I can say I prefer a snow and ice covered highway with these tires than dry tarmac because the former is more smooth, and these tires have great grip on ice. I also have driven in 4 and 5 inch snow on the road and I had no trouble with grip, once again the tread pattern works wonders. Too be fair this is the only set of dedicated snow tires I've ever owned, but I will not hesitate to buy these again.
