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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unsatisfactory, upset with this product.

New car tire size 205/55r17 was selected with great attention. Lada Vesta SV's cross model was so impressed by the "market leader" that it chose to forego cost savings and purchase one. Before that, I used to drive a few different vehicles, including a couple of cheap oak ones I bought on the used auto market. Four Hakka were killed, and seven Nordman and one Hakka were born in the car. The MICHELIN X-Ice North 4 is the only tire that reliably grabs an asphalt track on a dry road at +2 to +5 degrees Fahrenheit. When the road gets slippery, I really worry about what might happen. On dry asphalt at temperatures even above 0 degrees Fahrenheit, at speeds of 50-60 miles per hour, a car will start to pitch violently when driving down a rolled rut. If you accelerate during the overtaking move, the vehicle's behavior will deteriorate even further. The roads were very dangerous. Only on Nordman 7 did I ever get caught in a rut throughout my entire time behind the wheel. Then, I suppose it was my fault, there was only a 20 cm ice crust on the road, so the Lacetti touched the bottom of the road, forcing me to walk along the rut's edge. I also think I went a little too fast, speeding to 50 mph despite the dangerous conditions, and he paid the price. In this regard, Michelin tires tend to perform poorly. This is exactly what I'd anticipate from the cheapest Chinese labor. The X-Ice North 4 tires, of which the manufacturer is understandably proud, are likely best suited for an icy rally track but are wholly unsuitable for the vast majority of drivers who reside in the middle lanes and for whom winter means either an ice crust or porridge or dry asphalt. But selling to hamsters is what really matters, not Michelin ((On the other hand,

Pros
  • Charming in appearance Manufacturer's bright claims, and drooling autobloggers
Cons
  • The cost of such power over Gets stuck in a rut, where every turn brings the terrifying fear that you'll skid out of control.
