6 months in the Alaskan winter snow. 20 inches of snow and 3 inches of ice and these tires perform amazing. great grip for the winter and comfortable ride. tires meant for the real winters here in Alaska. shoutout to MICHELIN for letting people post real reviews good and bad. buying all season tires for the summer here in Alaska.

We purchased these tires and they work great in snow storms, better than most on black ice and keep us clinging to the roads throughout the months of bad weather we experience. We will continue to purchase these tires as long as we face winter driving!

I bought this type of Michelin X-ice snow for my wife's nissan rogue and had nothing but success with them. My wife had the confidence to drive in the winter without worrying about pothole damage, slipping, or getting stuck. A solid well built tire. I then bought a set for my C300 and they drive very well. Solid and great grip on wet, cold, and snow-covered roads. The tires for my c300 were pricey, but worth it as they are a quality tire that holds up to wear.

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.

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….

Handles snow and slush with incredible ease. I traveled on some nasty roads here in Michigan recently and never worried for my safety or had issues with traction. It was actually kind of fun… Tires are pretty quiet too even on dry roads, which is a nice bonus. However, ice is still ice and there is only so much a tire can do. They certainly have more traction on ice than all-seasons, but the difference isn’t as noticeable.

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.

Use them for a winter season on a Tesla Mode 3 RWD. I am used to the X-Ice on a different car. They improved the traction on snow vs X-Ice significantly and the grip on ice is still very good. I noticed a bit tire noise between 50-70kmh (specially with an EV car) but they are impressively quiet at highway speed.

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 had heard about Michelin a lot from my friends, and based on their advice, I bought a new set last month. I feel they are fine for snow but not for icy conditions in Edmonton or Alberta, especially when your car is not an SUV or all-wheel drive. So, I will not recommend this set of tires for small cars.
