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

Has pros: There are no questions about controllability, predictability, noise, cross-country ability and other operational parameters, everything is at a very high level, but there is one BUT! which kills all the positive emotions on these tires (read the shortcomings). Has some cons There are two drawbacks: the first and main, the chemical composition of rubber is such that nothing sticks to it, not tire glue, not other repair fluids. I caught a nail, brand new, straight, with a diameter of 3 mm., What nonsense it would seem, but the cord inserted into the place of the breakdown immediately began to poison the air, which the tire fitting worker did nothing happened (the first case in my 33-year-old practice!) In the end as a result, a patch was put on the inside. Another case occurred during the winter, punctured the rear wheel and not immediately noticing it, drove on a flat tire for 3-4 minutes, as a result, after disassembling the wheel, large pieces of thin rubber separated on the inside of the tire, I have not seen this from any tire manufacturer, usually in this case, rubber dust appears. And one more thing, VERY weak sidewall! The conclusion that I made for myself, I WILL NEVER BUY MICHELIN TIRES AGAIN!
