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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I would definitely recommend the purchase, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

I paid a low amount because it was an absurd price for a novelty, and I was concerned. Though everything went smoothly. The closest pricing for same labeled tires were typically $2102–3000 more expensive each piece. In December 2022, I took a 6500 wheel. stands atop a four-wheel-drive, 17*205-inch Subaru WRX STI. I tested it first on the track, in rallycross, on clear ice, and occasionally with snow on top; it grips well, has a lot of spikes, and behaves predictably. The drawback is that their longitudinal and lateral hooks are inferior than those of the same Kontik because they have a smaller area of the stud hook. Continental continues to be unmatched on the ice! This winter, it has consistently placed second to the Michelin X-Ice North 4 on the podium. However, Michelin frequently won the awards.Rubber is incredibly dependable. Asphalt is silent. Of all, the interior of my car is noisy, and the STI isn't known for its comfort or Shumkov, but I was still taken aback! The only time the window is open is when you can hear the thorns. No spikes were lost throughout the winter! Though it was difficult, I ran in as planned and skated 1000 kilometers on it while disabled. During operation, no clean asphalt was ground. It performs flawlessly in the snow; after a significant snowfall, I drove it into a dense forest on an ATV and snowmobile route for 200 meters before stopping because I couldn't turn around. Yes, Subaru has all-wheel drive, but still! With the front wheels, it floats a little in the snow, but this is just because my main force is automatically transferred to the rear axle. It is typical if you move to front-wheel drive. It also rides well when rolled. When taking into mind the spikes of course, wet asphalt maintains nicely. The outcome was a very good, balanced rubber. It's in a forest, isn't it? v=ZSWyoVQ872s&t=101s This is on the railway, and -? v=CRxi78tDYBw&t=18s All the best to you! : On the basis of my riding technique and expertise, I described everything. Regarding thecomst, it stated the cost for which I paid.The price of rubber is currently comparable to that of Nokian and Continental. If your experience was different, don't use it as justification to deduct from my rating. I'm grateful.

Pros
  • Very balanced rubber with excellent driving traction on all terrain. It is quiet on the pavement, adheres to the ice well, and conducts itself fairly on wet pavement. The snowfall is steady. Very powerful - it flew into a variety of holes, but once it did so into a deep, sharp-edged cutout in the asphalt, and I didn't have time to switch it off. The blow was so powerful that I was concerned for the rubber, but in the end, the front disk ruptured, and the rubber on it is entire. And neither party suffered a back injury. This surprised me because their previous models, according to the reviews, were subpar. Well, the spikes don't shatter anymore!) And everything is set up for the season!
Cons
  • in deep snow (I drove into the forest) floats a little. Snow porridge is also available for 4ku, though I'm not sure what kind of rubber works best with our porridge. Price (excluding my case), even if I believe that the price and quality are comparable.
