Review on MICHELIN X-Ice North 4 SUV 305/35 R21 109T winter by Mateusz Praga ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

Before that, I used Haku 7 for six years in the winter, and it worked great for me. However, the previous year, a set of wheels lost their geometry and started to knock when I was going fast. I used X-ice4 for the first time the previous winter, and my wife enjoyed having it for our car and any other vehicle within a 16-meter radius. I came to the conclusion that it would be safer for me to just use the one that was already there, so I skipped the experiment. Surprisingly, the same can be said for asphalt: winter has not yet arrived. Got pros: The inexpensive Korean summer tires don't compare to these in terms of manueverability, even when the temperature is above zero. The noise level is about right for the spikes. Appearance is a matter of personal preference, and it makes no difference to me. Various disadvantages: Size 245/60/18 is not very common and can be quite pricey; as an alternative, you might consider 235/60/18, which is cheaper per set by 10 tr. The difference in size is not nearly as noticeable when compared to products made by other manufacturers. After 100 kilometers per hour, there is a sound that is comparable to the sound of a helicopter flying far enough away. It is not silent. During the same time period, the opening tens of kilometers of the run-in were even noisier than usual.
