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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

In short, I'll start with the fact that I have an Optima 2.0 car - their Shumka is below average. Size 215x60x16. I decided to look for quiet studded tires for the winter. The search engine immediately sent me Mishka 4 and I don’t remember nakka 8 or 9. I decided to try Mishek, before that there was never a premium class rubber. Yes, and it turned out that a friend worked in a store and was able to knock me out a discount on them. In short, I put them in November 2022 at a temperature of +5 - there was no snow yet. Tire fitting checked - everything was fine. I left happy like an elephant - the car became very soft straight, you don’t feel bumps in the rails and stuff - this is a plus for me. But on the other hand, when I carried the rubber in my hands, it was directly squeezed in my hands - I was afraid that it would be very soft, easy to tear. But after the first winter season, nothing happened. Let's continue - the thorns are almost inaudible at all - as if millet is pouring along the road. But there is one NOOO, I don’t know if it’s just me or everyone else - at a speed of 60 a strange noise began, as if the wheel was not even and so in-in-in-in. The higher the speed, the stronger it is - I was a little upset, but I decided maybe this was a run-in. Run-in took place as a pensioner without sudden starts and braking about 2022 km. I don't know if this is correct or not. Now I am supplementing the review at the end of the season (about 7 thousand km) - all the spikes are in place, but on the front they are beveled towards the wheel scroll. The noise in the air has become quieter, but it has not completely disappeared (not critical). The rubber is not bad, tenacious on ice, soft and obedient, it didn’t get stuck anywhere - although there was a lot of snow. Now I noticed that the spikes began to rust - although the rubber is dry and stored on the balcony. I hope this rust is not critical. In principle, I recommend rubber - I liked it. All good roads.

Pros
  • Good grip, soft
Cons
  • I was surprised that the production of the 2022
