I definitely do not advise buying, the product disappointed.

This is my 3rd set of Michelin tires, but I saw this for the first time! When yesterday I started to change shoes on the car . The spikes didn’t fall out, they didn’t wear off, they just broke . and this didn’t happen before the 21-22 season, they broke in this season and broke precisely on the front wheels, I can assume, now I’ve put the broken ones back in front, let’s see what happens to these after this winter. I drive carefully, I don’t skid and I don’t drive ., but this is the first time!

Pros
  • Softness, Handling, No noise, Impressive to this day
Cons
  • Today there was a feeling that I was deceived, the spikes broke off!

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

Regarding noise: those who are used to riding studded tires (on which all these very spikes are present, and did not fall out a long time ago), will not notice a difference for the worse. On the contrary, braking is much quieter, starting from a standstill is much quieter, steering turns when maneuvering in a parking lot are much quieter, the passage of cast-iron plates on tram crossings is much quieter, the rumble in wheel arches is also quieter. Noise will be noted only by those who are used…

Pros
  • Car - Ford C-Max. Dimension - 205/55 R16. Production - RF. In operation from March to May 2022 in the Middle Urals (average temperature approx. -15 degrees, but often up to -30, and frequent snowfalls). The usual Michelin. With all its "pluses" and even some innovations in the form of a completely new type of spikes. After more than two months of intensive use (total mileage of 4500 km at different speeds and driving styles), not a single spike fell out / broke. Impression as from "thoroughbred" and reliable rubber. Bridgestone fans will notice that the sidewall is softer than they are used to, but those who have been riding European studded tires for a long time will not say this. In the last photos - tires after a run of 4500 km).
Cons
  • I wish the noise was even quieter.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

The first day seemed roll, raised the pressure and she went as it should! Check pressure after tire fitting. It is warm in the tire shop, but it is cold outside and the pressure in the tire decreases due to the temperature difference. So if you did not check the pressure after installation - check, there may be a "surprise". Adding before the second season. According to the results of the first season, I didn’t lose a single spike, wear is minimal (in some places, stars around the spike are…

Pros
  • Unexpectedly quiet! It holds well both on asphalt and in snow, there hasn’t been much ice yet, and I didn’t feel the one that was at all. For a rear-wheel drive car with 250+ forces, what you need!
Cons
  • taking into account the comment about pressure, has not yet revealed

It is impossible to use, a bad product.

I turned to the Michelin, they said that you can send it for a complaint, they will look at the marriage or not. The claim was denied, they referred to improper running and operation. I wrote a review on their official website with all the photos, but the review was never published, there are only excellent reviews on the site, they don’t want the truth.

Pros
  • Skated the season. Car skoda octavia a7 205/55 r16. Not noisy, not buzzing, you can hear spikes, but this is normal for studded tires. Ice, snow, snowy wet porridge, everything is fine. Handling on pavement for studded tires is also excellent.
Cons
  • The Michelin have problems with spikes. The spikes are all in place, but they began to shift and bend.

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

I happened to be one of the first users of this rubber. And immediately the weather made a gift: snowfalls, ice - the best weather to evaluate and not come up with. And the tires performed great. 250 pieces of rally spikes on the wheel allow you to ride much more confident, safer and more active. On ice d. B. definitely the best, let's see how they show themselves in terms of durability. Well, it's been a full season. Michelin showed themselves well done. Move from a place to the rise - no…

Pros
  • Excellent handling on asphalt, ice, ice and packed snow. Good permeability. Quiet.
Cons
  • You need to be careful on the snow porridge. A little noisy due to the large number of spikes. I changed my mind about the noise level, the tires really rolled up and became quieter.

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

Previously, I rode friction clutches for a long time, but apparently the delight of those who rode these tires on the red ring did not give me rest, previously I heard such “squeals of joy” about 10 years ago about the BD kontik, today north4 is probably the most interesting variant of the spikes that you can buy , I bought it probably even more out of curiosity, I wanted to feel this “WOW” for myself, it’s too early to draw conclusions on the one hand, on the other hand I drove cars with such…

Pros
  • no rumble, no clatter of spikes, tire performs better on local winter rides, extended warranty, fuel card partially compensates for the cost.
Cons
  • It has not yet been revealed, but like everyone else, I just have to complain about the high price)))

Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe I'll buy it again.

Winter has been delayed this season, so it has not yet been possible to fully evaluate the tires. But they cope with the first icing, but did not notice any super-tenacious properties compared to competitors. The spike only slightly protrudes above the surface. For 500 km, the spike looks like new, although most of the run is on dry asphalt.

Pros
  • Tires were supplied to Qashqai instead of studded tires of the latest model of a well-known German concern. A significant reduction in noise was immediately felt. Michelins are indecently quiet for studded tires.
Cons
  • When balancing the whole set with an imbalance of 40-60 grams on both sides. According to the installers, all studded Michelins have such a big imbalance. On asphalt, with sudden braking, they immediately block

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

My rating and comments on the points are as follows: Ice - 5 with minus points out of 5, excellent grip, but there are comments on the behavior when braking, it breaks a little, but not critical. Snow - 4 points out of 5, tire stability on snow, moderately aggressive tread pattern, which helps the tire overcome snow drifts and remove snow from under the contact patches for predictable forward movement. Wet asphalt - 4 points out of 5 with a "plus", a good grip and the release of water and…

Pros
  • Driving performance at the highest level, Excellent stability and predictability of tire behavior on winter roads.
Cons
  • Relatively high noise level when driving on asphalt. Even smaller studs leave the noise level relatively high

The quality is so-so, the price does not match the quality.

I took them in the fall of 2022, after the first season I started to lower one wheel, I didn’t apply for a guarantee, they did it at the nearest tire shop, at the end of last season one of the wheels began to behave inadequately, I sinned on the disk, the other day I found out that the problem was in the rubber , and + the second wheel deflates constantly. For three seasons ~ half of the spikes flew out. I took a set for 17500. Before that, Cordiant stood, those and then 4 seasons departed .

Pros
  • Traction on ice and snow.
Cons
  • Few drove, + problems after the first season started.

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

For a long time I could not decide on winter tires, on the one hand I wanted a budget one, on the other hand I understand that safety. As a result, I decided to take a radius of 16 instead of 17. Then the price was humane and the tires were good) The choice fell on the 4th version because I managed to drive a car that had this rubber at work. The sensations were such that it was like a cat crawling with its claws on the carpet))) It is very cool to get out of the snowy areas.

Pros
  • Grip on ice and snow is just 5+++
Cons
  • Well, it's probably just the price. But on the other hand, this is the best studded rubber. And knowing it already becomes not so expensive)

I'm impressed! Exactly the product deserves your attention.

Before buying, I read a lot of reviews and tests from the magazine "Behind the Wheel", this rubber is the winner of 2022 in crossover tests. Rubber run in carefully, tried not to slip. After running, I began to test on different surfaces. She turned out great! There are fears of side cuts due to the softness of the rubber, but it all depends on the driver, you should not cuddle up to the curbs!)

Pros
  • The tires are the best I have ever tried. On ice it slows down like on asphalt! Deep snow, frost holds well, digs. Installed on the Skoda Kodiak, the noise is almost inaudible. Excellent tires for my money, I took 11,600 shares per bottle in December 2022.
Cons
  • Soft, possible side cuts, requires care when parking at the curbs.

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

I skated the winter in a taxi in Hong Kong and Hong Kong Region, on the rear axle the spike really got out, on the trail of winter it will go to the front. I don’t know how long it will start to tan, but two seasons with a total mileage of 50-60 thousand in difficult conditions are going well, how quickly it will begin to lose its qualities in the future is not clear, since two seasons are not an indicator, before it was battered, the spikes themselves are deformed and recessed. And rubber is…

Pros
  • Hold on ice and snow! Wear - it simply does not exist, all the spikes are in place, for the size 185 65 p15 there are a lot of spikes!
Cons
  • price, noisy, very soft board

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

Forester sh 2.5 region - Hong Kong, I bought instead of a new khaki 8 (run-flat), it turned out to be very heavy, the gas consumption is monstrous, I immediately put it up for sale. I decided to try bears, I had never bought them before. As a result, I haven’t seen better rubber yet (it was all amtel, hankuk, bridge, yoka, good-year, gislaved, haka, conti, nordman, etc.) on forik, stabilization works out even too well, not to fool around at all, just cut the wires and put a forced circuit…

Pros
  • Bears are great) no words)
Cons
  • Unsympathetic, without an application for victory, drawing)

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

I compare with Hakka 7, because. before that there was this rubber, size 205 * 55 * r16. In Hakki, wear for several seasons was minimal, but the spikes after about 35 thousand km. total mileage began to fly out and break off (((Let's see how Bears behave)

Pros
  • Noise is noticeably less than Hakkapelita 7. Grip on different surfaces is definitely not worse than Hakki, maybe even better. The rubber itself is softer than Hakki. I am ating my review on April 23, 2022. Only positive impressions from these tires! On any surface, the tires performed perfectly! Bears are definitely better than Hakki, they are more comfortable, quieter and row better than Hakki. The pins are all in place.
Cons
  • Not yet

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

With the onset of the winter season, it became necessary to "re-shoe" your car Toyota corolla. Previously used tires in size 195/65R15 - Hankook W429. Based on the feedback from my friends and acquaintances, I decided to buy Michelin X-Ice North 4 in the same size. With the onset of the first frosts, the sleet was extremely pleased and did not regret his choice in the slightest. I recommend to everyone!

Pros
  • 1) Value for money. 2) Comfortable driving during the operation of these tires due to the "softness" of this model. 3) Confident grip with road surfaces in ice and snow conditions. 4) Pretty quiet despite the fact that, quite a decent amount of spikes.
Cons
  • Not found.

It works, but I don't think I'll be buying it again.

After the first winter, all the wheels are heavily clogged with stones (anti-icing mixture, which is sprinkled on the roads in Hong Kong). It seems to me that such a number of stones can affect the balance of the wheels, as well as handling. For the first time I encounter this, as if I had traveled through a sand pit. Do you think this is normal? see photo. and so on all wheels.

Pros
  • Quiet, excellent road holding
Cons
  • Extremely soft, causing it to clog with stones.

Poor product, below average quality.

Bought and installed almost at the end of the season. Skated a month until the end of one season and the whole next. As I put it on the third season (with throwing sets from front to back), so immediately the car began to drive strongly to the left. As soon as I release the steering wheel, it immediately turns a few degrees and the car goes to the left. They removed the wheels to look, and there is a very noticeable longitudinal hernia on the front right wheel on the entire wheel. And on the…

Pros
  • Perfectly soft and quiet. Quieter than my summer one. Handles very well on the road.
Cons
  • Longitudinal hernia on all 4 wheels after one season with a little, had to be thrown out. Some of the spikes flew off. They slip at the start on dry pavement.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

Rubber stands on a rear-wheel drive 960 Volvo! On December 23, the Hong Kongy Volvo Club arranged a party with pokatushki on ice at the Hong Kongy circuit. So I drove around on this rubber! in the time trial 3rd place among 35 cars! and 1st place in the pair sprint among spiked cars! easily leaves from all-wheel drive cars on the same Hakka 8. rows very well in the snow! Tires happy as an elephant! Traveled for two years. The total mileage was about 20,000 km. Only one spike left its place. In

Pros
  • Rubber is great! Of all the studded tires that drove the quietest! Grip on the road is just great, but you need to set the right pressure for your car! If the difference is 0.2-0.3 from the prescribed tire pressure, controllability is lost and very noticeable.
Cons
  • not seen yet!

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

In March 2022, I had a chance to ride Michelin X-Ice North 4 tires for a week. I’m driving Focus 3 for the fourth winter on Hake 7 - almost all of the spikes have already taken off from it and for the next season I’m just planning new tires on spikes, so this opportunity turned up very handy. Every day I ride to work from Yekat to V. Pyshma and back, which is 40-50 km. There are only positive emotions from the Michelin X-Ice North 4 rubber - it accelerates and brakes confidently, holds the road

Cons
  • Didn't find

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

Departure until a month and a half in the Hong Kong region. Dimension 225 40 19, front-wheel drive car 275 forces with blocking. What can I say . super grip on any surface, allows you to create all sorts of game at reasonable speeds. On the outrageous - it's stupid to go straight on any surface available in winter. So it was before all sorts of other tires, but on very different machines. Roughly can be compared with haka 8 from what it was. That one is a good rubber, but the bear is cooler…

Pros
  • Hook, steering
Cons
  • Price Ice braking
