Review on MICHELIN X-Ice Snow 205/55 R16 95H winter by Barbara Trojanowska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

Please run this model up against the one that has been deemed the best in all of the testing so far. seventh contact with the Vikings. While the durability of Michelin's characteristics under wear is crucial if this is the case, the decision here is ultimately yours. Some benefits: Almost immediately after its release, I purchased a set of 205/55/16 tires despite the lack of available information, reviews, and even inventory. The number of reviews was really low. Generally speaking, a good summer impression (pilot sport 4) was the deciding factor. Because of this, I had faith in the brand, and this is why I continue to put a premium on ice and snow management every winter. So, first impressions, there is some valkost (I'll immediately say the driving style is very active and this is important), but immediately plus that it is very quiet, especially when compared with studded, i.e. there is no terrible discomfort during the transition from summer and further other pluses: I drive in slush and wet snow on a 100+ highway with periodic tire rebuilds and ESP workouts, and while these conditions can be challenging, rowing in the snow is an exhilarating experience. on ice . When considering the total handling (especially on snow - subjectively), quietness, persistence of properties during wear (declared by the manufacturer), then I was not at all disappointed. Many tests have shown that the acceleration time is the best among all stickies, and this is worth something. However, it makes no sense to compare with spikes. One day I was driving along the road and in a hurry, so I decided to check the clutch by braking, and everything was fine. However, after a few minutes at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, I entered a sharp turn, and there was a surprise in the form of rolling and ice (braking section), and the clutch disappeared from the word complete. Negatives are listed below: I'll be the first to admit that any claims of objective instability during sharp turns on a snowy surface are, at best, anecdotal; and while it behaves wonderfully in most situations, I've noticed that its braking performance on wet pavement is noticeably worse than that of competitors.
