HAD THESE TIRES FOR 6 YEARS ON OUR NISSAN ROGUE SPORT, EXCELLENT GRIP AND WEAR.TREAD LIFE. TYPICALLY USED IN THE WINTER FOR 10-15KM IN ALBERTA, CANADA WEATHER. ON AN 18" RIM THE 255/65/R18 ARE VERY QUIET AND COMFORTABLE. RECENTLY BOUGHT THEM AGAIN, HOWEVER, I AM CURIOUS HOW MUCH BETTER STUDDED VERSIONS WOULD BE.

I’ve had X-ice’s now on two cars, my 370z and now my Elantra GT N-line and they are perfect! Never left me stuck, always providing great traction and grip in poor conditions. They are quiet and wear well. Worth every penny for the safety, security, performance and peace of mind.

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 run Michelin X-Ice Snow tires all year round. They are quiet and work good on our rain soaked roads as well as in snow. They last in excess of 70,000 km and I never have a flat tire. I run only Michelin tires on all our vehicles. Great tires that take very little balance weight.

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.

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!!!

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 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 these tires last winter when we already had snow and bad weather. I noticed the different right away. I was sliding alot less around town and felt more comfortable on the road. Unfortunately I got a got new vehicle and the size I bought won't fit it. But I do plan on buying the same ones again for my new car.

My first exposure to Michelin tires was over 50 years ago. My Dad had an older Chrysler that used to float over the road. Typical for the period. He purchased a set of Michelin tires for the car. These tires completely changed the car. The ride immediately became significantly smoother and quieter. Any road imperfections seemed to disappear. The steering response/handling became sharper and more precise. For these reasons, every car and truck I have owned since has worn a set of Michelin tires. I also appreciate the longevity and extended wear of the tires.
