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 always been a Michelin fan since past 7 years and always relied on the brand. However, the X ICE Winter tires didnt set my expectation right. I installed brand new set of winter tires on my brand new Honda CRV but it keeps slipping in little bit of ice and doesnt have as much traction as expected. So I am not satisfied.

I trust Michelin to perform on and off the road during the worse winter conditions. I use my 2016 Range Rover HSE Sport in the worst winter conditions, and also do a lot of off roading for ice fishing and hunting camp in the woods. When there is no plowed roads, these get the job done and have never failed to perform even in the deepest snow and through streams which land rover can easily pass through. I chose the Michelin X-ICE 255-55-R20 for its aggressive and wide foot print to conquer the worst snow that winter can through at us in Canadian winters.

Bought these brand new for both my car and SUV (Chevrolet Cruze Diesel Manual Hatch 2018 and Lincoln MKX 2.7 2016) in 16" and 20". Super comfortable, low noise and rides like a train on track. No regret. Only Michelin on my cars for both winter and summer. After all, they invented the tire and they still are the best.

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.

I purchased 4 of these tires for the winter season of 2020-2021 and am more than pleased with the reliability and performance of these tires during the winter weather season! I never doubted these Michelin tires would keep me safe and they never let me down once.

I researched tires in an overjoyed that I chose for my 2012 Front Wheel Dr., Audi. These tires have more than met what I was expecting, they are sassy to the elements! I am not a car person like my husband, but wanted to the ice x after I read other reviews. I feel safe and confident driving in the North Idaho snow!

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 previously had X-Ice tires on my VW Rabbit. They were really good tires but the X-Ice Snow are even better! The X-Ice Snow gripped icy roads a little better than the X-Ice but the snow traction was vastly better. I recommend them whenever anyone talks about winter tires.

Had no problems with slippages or sliding or anything like that during the winter, but it still means you need to drive carefully! I only had one slide when someone braked suddenly in front of me with lots of room ahead of him in moving traffic. barely avoided an accident.
