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

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

Personal experience has taught me that any review about tires should not be extended to other makes and models of automobiles. This is because the behavioral characteristics of a particular automobile model can significantly alter the impression of normal operation, and this can go in either direction. To begin, the automobile is a Skoda Octavia A7 with a 1.4-liter engine that produces 150 horsepower. The noise in this model is perhaps the most interesting aspect to pay attention to in this model. Although there is a noticeable amount of noise, the studded appearance of the tire cannot be detected from within the vehicle (the clatter of studs is heard only when the window is open). Because of the way the noise is made, it more closely resembles a summer tire that is not the most noisy. In contrast, my summer Nokia Hakkapeliitta Blue is significantly noisier, to the point where the difference can be clearly heard after switching shoes in both the plus (set summer) and minus positions (winter). Arguably the most important aspect of the character that you focus on is the consistency of behavior across all of the primary surfaces, and as a result, the character's outstanding predictability of conduct in any given set of circumstances. The car does not need the steering corrected even while it is passing snow parapets that are located across traffic lanes since it is able to retain the trajectory that was previously set. The proportions are spot on in this instance. The only comments that have been made about the tire for the past two racing seasons are as follows: - excessive softness for the track (the car floats), but it is important to keep in mind that I drive at the pressure that is recommended for urban use, and that it is beneficial to raise it for the track. She dislikes the heavy, dense snow because it causes her to become visibly entangled and makes her feel insecure. Because of this, there is a possibility of being trapped in the snow porridge in the spring, when the snow that has been rolling around in the yard begins to melt. PS this is the first rubber that, after two seasons, has not lost a single stud; typically, after the first one, I am missing a few pieces on the drive wheels.

Pros
  • - Low and unobtrusive car noise; on my vehicle, they are quieter than the summer Nokia Hakkapeliitta Blue. - The clatter of thorns can only be heard if the window is opened. - a predictable and easy-to-understand demeanor in almost all circumstances - a driving experience that is unfailingly consistent regardless of the type of winter surface. - Grip on a wide variety of different surfaces - After two seasons, all the spikes have been established
Cons
  • - behavior on snow changes depending on the mileage per trip and, accordingly, the degree of heating of the tread rubber - feels insecure in deep and heavy snow, and when in the spring the snow roll turns into porridge, it gets stuck in it. - behavior on ice changes depending on the temperature of the tread rubber and the number of times it has been used.
