Review on MICHELIN X-Ice 3 195/65 R15 95T winter by Felicja Malinowska ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, I recommend that you try it.

I took it in November'2022 in Tire plus for the new Lancer X. I decided to change the type of rubber along with the car - from spikes to Velcro. And I didn't guess. I was pleased with the warranty on tires, it came in handy for punctures. The first 4 seasons she skated very worthily, the grip was 5. The fifth was already dangerous due to poor grip. But I skated all 5 seasons without an accident, the driving mode in winter is closer to moderate. On the track, too, they behave with dignity. I decided not to risk it and changed it to studded XIN 3 for the sixth season, I periodically go to the village, where Velcro tickles my nerves, whether it will pass or not. But it didn’t really let down, even in porridge and heavy snowfalls. It’s just that in big snow on spikes it’s much calmer to ride. If you don’t catch snowfalls and drive mainly around the city, then this rubber is the best. The external state by the end of the fifth state is ideal, only the coupling qualities are already weak. No hernias, etc., despite the softness. When transplanting from summer stock Dunlop, in contrast, the softness of the ride on this winter tire is very felt, comfort is noticeably increased, and there is less shaking.

Pros
  • 1. Good handling at t -5 and warmer, where there is little snow and ice. In such conditions, it behaves better than studded. In the spring thaw, it’s generally beautiful when the road is not frozen with ice. On dry pavement, studded is also better. 2. Tire plus warranty on Michelin - removed screws and punctures several times for free. 3. Quiet.
Cons
  • 1. The resource is enough for 4 winter seasons with a quiet ride. Soft tires, the fifth season left with caution, the clutch was only for a very quiet and moderate ride. On spikes, perhaps, you can ride longer. 2. In heavy snow and ice, you need to be much more careful than on studded tires.
