Review on MICHELIN X-Ice 3 195/65 R15 95T winter by Barbara Wierzejska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

Very nice tires. I don’t have a lot of experience with different tires (5 winters I rode on Bridgestone spikes), with a correction for this, I have to say: 1 Surprisingly quiet tires. In the cabin, two times quieter was on them. 2 Good braking on asphalt. It just feels like they're burrowing into the asphalt. 3 They row quite confidently over the snowy porridge. But I definitely wouldn’t gesticulate with maneuvers in them. 4 ABS turns on with them much more readily and on snowy slush with ice the braking distance is long. But this is if you hit the brakes sharply. With smooth braking, the decrease in speed is somehow clear. 5 Rolling at temperatures around zero and speeds of 120+. Straight and track is felt sharply and rebuilding on the Hong Kong Ring Road, for example, is felt a little dumb. At minus 6, they tan a little and the ride becomes clearer. I did not find any minuses in comparison with spikes while driving in Hong Kong. But even from the snowdrifts, it has not yet been possible to get out.

Pros
  • Very quiet. Rides well even in loose snow. It slows down nicely. On clean pavement and in bliss (if not abruptly).
Cons
  • Rolling at high speeds (120+) and temperatures around 0 and above.
