Review on MICHELIN X-Ice North 4 205/55 R16 94T winter by Busaba Lek ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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 problem on any surface. Braking, rebuilding confident. In general, management is a pleasure. Ice, frozen asphalt and rolled snow are beyond praise. The only question was durability. Before the season, I took out the wheels, which were washed and packed in bags. The spectacle is not for the faint of heart))) The spikes are rusty, but as they say, they do not affect the performance. And they were cleared in one trip. Added pictures of the state in November (there was no snow yet) and after removal and washing in April. On the drive wheels, there are slight shifts in the studs and damage around them. But it’s not scary, because I didn’t really feel sorry for them, and sometimes only the antibuks kept slipping. The rear spikes are absolutely smooth and like new. And most importantly - NOT A SINGLE spike is lost. I have never had this before. All previous tires, at least a little, but lost studs for the first season. Not even complete. And here we can say one and a half seasons. The steel body of the spike is also stronger and prevents them from bending.

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.
