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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I did not regret the purchase, everything is fine.

After having read and seen enough of everything and everyone, I decided to purchase this miraculous item. Since the developer created the exit from our yard to the road through a tiny hill (which is almost always slippery), the spikes were exactly what I wanted, and I was impressed by both the number of spikes and their grip. Especially considering that the wife also drove while she was carrying their child (experienced in general). New tires have been delivered. For Rio, I brought 1.4L tires that are 185/65/15. SHE REALLY SCARED! The car would not listen to the steering wheel, thus driving required a lot of effort and struggle. This continued until the temperature was stabilized between -10 and -15, and now there is an entirely new song! Nachilis some pluses: start - buzz, braking - amazing, and in the yards (uncleaned) - just fire. It was fun for me to ride! I was able to go around all-wheel drive vehicles such as Crete and Capture on this rubber and get up to the next traffic light in front of them (while other mono-drive vehicles swooped somewhere behind)) I was very pleased! The start from the traffic light was simply amazing. I even rode across the field while there was snow on the bars of the number and I did not get stuck; it digs really well. As spring arrived and the snow and ice that had accumulated on the roads melted away, the terrible feelings that were experienced when running in were no longer present, but others took their place. I should have known better than to roll it on asphalt because I was scared I would destroy such a soft rubber, and secondly, when I had changed the rubber for the summer, rust started to emerge on the spikes of the bear (it seems not critical in terms of the condition of the spike, but the sediment remained). Because of this, my wife and I wound up purchasing a Volkswagen Tiguan 2 4x4 together. After skating for only one season, that kit, of course, had to be sold, and the dilemma of whether or not to acquire rubber for it arose. And because the car is four-wheel drive, there is no longer any need for as many spikes as there were before. Although I will take something else, I am still looking in the direction of XIN 4 because I enjoyed it so much.

Pros
  • hook Stopping and handling on ice, in yards where the snow has not been cleared
Cons
  • At temps hovering close to zero during the break-in, "floats." Very terrifying!
