Well, we should have had snow out here, but none. Not even rain. So only commenting on dry road performance. Ride is good with no objectionable tire noise. We have had one panic brake episode due to deer. Forester slowed down quickly with no control issues. ABS was not cycling, but must have been close. Looking forward to see how this tire performs in nasty weather.

I have purchased Michelin Winter Tires for over a decade now. I have run X-Ice and X-Ice2 in the past on our Ford Focus and currently run Michelin Latitude X-Ice on our large SUV. After reviewing what was available we chose the Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV for our new small SUV. The grip on ice and in deep snow is excellent. Probably the best version of the X-Ice tires we have bought to date.

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 left for work early in the morning of Toronto's big snowstorm last January .. having to work my way through streets that had yet to see a snow plow … this was my first test of the Michelin X-Ice Snow tires and they were fantastic. I do have an all wheel drive crossover (Mazda CX-30) and it only took me an extra 8 minutes to get to work … I felt in total control of the car. Worth every penny I spent on these tires!!!

Used Michelin tires for almost 13 years in 4 different vehicles . Drive long distance on highways in winter . Never failed on me. Last year due to mostly working from home, though I had winter tires whole season but could drive hardly 2K against 10K in a normal work year. Happy customer

Bought these tires in 2020 and have used them through now a second winter ( albeit just starting) but I must say what really stands out is the performance on ice. When the season starts, I like to come to a complete stop and start to see "how bad it is out there" and compared to my previous brand of tires, the stopping power and take off has been the best so far. They produce very little noise when on pavement and handle very well in dry conditions including wet.

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 ?!

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 have put these snows on all my vehicles and recommended them to friends for over 15 years. I previously used Nokia, but these are better. As the name suggests, they are optimized for ice, slush, and moderate snow. So for the average urban dweller, they are outstanding. I notice little difference between these and my summer tires. Winter doesn't bother them. The only caveat is if you live in the snow belt: there are better choices for deep snow.

I bought my tires last fall, and drive all winter in ice and snow conditions everyday. I start work at 5am so had to leave very early in the mornings. I was on the road some mornings before the snow-grader and had to drive in some pretty bad conditions. The tires were fantastic! I had perfect traction and felt quite secure knowing that I wouldn't have any trouble at all in those conditions!
