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)

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 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.

These replaced a set of X-ICE 3 that were 4 years old. The only issue I had with the 3s is how they handled deeper snow. The X-ICE Snow have taken care of that, without losing any of the other handling of the original 3s. Highly recommend these

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!

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.

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 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.

Comfortable ride in winter condition

using them on BMW IX, very stable, great grips and very quiet.
