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

Impressions from the tires are positive. The first reaction after installation is noisy. I installed it on my largus. The factory antennae were worn out after 500 km of driving. In icy conditions, the car drives confidently, does not slip when starting. During hard braking, the ABS did not work. In a situation where one wheel on bare asphalt, and the second on wet snow porridge rows well, it does not skid. In deep snow it is uncertain. Before that, I demolished 2 sets of tires Cordiant Snow max and Snow cross. Compared to the Michelin, they seemed less noisy, but on the ice they slipped more when starting and slipped when braking, the ABS worked, but they went well in deep snow, and only 30 percent of the spikes were lost in 4 years. Since I drive in the city and on track, Michelin certainly suits me better and I would not buy a cordiant (before that I thought that I would not find a better cordiant). I don't know how many spikes will be left in 4 years at the Michelin. They are worth their money and it is better to overpay a little and enjoy the ride! Fuel consumption on my 16 valve K4M engine (105 hp) was 8.6 l / 100 km when driving on the highway at an average speed of 110 km / h, on summer tires it was 7.6 l / 100 km. Feedback addendum. Having passed the winter and spring, I will say that this is a very good rubber. During the winter, there was not a single emergency situation associated with sudden braking or skidding on turns in ice. All the spikes stayed in place, probably because I never start with a slip. I recommend!
