X-Ice XI2 - 175/70R13

These tires perform excellent. Between the AWD vehicle and these tires I could not be happier. Pulled out of a 400 ft driveway with 9'' snow with no problem. On blowed but snowy roads excellent stopping,impressive grip and no slippage on acceleration. Same in the slush and mush. A little sticky and noisy on dry pavement and warm days but that is the trade off until spring.

I just got the tires so some of the questions are tough to answer with more history

The Element is a high road noise vehicle and we have NEVER had tires that are as quiet as these. So thankful!!!!

Overall great tire. However I do have an issue with Michelin. I sent them the paperwork several times to receive a $70 rebate I was eligible for, and have never received the rebate, a mailed response or a return call. Would certainly turn me off in the future if they do not honor their promotions.

I drove home from Albany(72mi) on the NYS Thruway during the evening ice-snow storm we had on the 3rd of March, Horrible driving conditions. This car with X-ice got me home. I am very impressed how well these Michelin X-ICE performed. With any other tire I would have spent the night in a hotel.

First week on car had 2 feet of snow and drove to work on barely plowed roads....Excellent Tires!!!

These tires saved me this winter. We had a tremendous amount of snow and ice on multiple occasions, and my car went from NOT being able to handle ANY ice or snow to being GREAT on ice and snow.

For a snow tire - I'm only noticing minimal improvement over the worn out all-weathers I had on the car previously. I really expect a snow tire to stick to the road. I've had several times where I had trouble getting traction to start at intersections when there is piled snow. I would probably not get these tires again, as they are not preforming to that "night and day" difference that I expect when I switch over to snow tires in the winter.

Only have had the tires a short while

Tires are much quieter than previous brand, performance is excellent in all driving conditions experienced. Tires offer one a secure feeling to the challenges of winter driving in western NY.
