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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disgusting, I don't recommend it to anyone!

You should not waste your time with this garbage and overpay ludicrously high prices for a brand. You are waiting for wheels of poor quality, which will be studded in the basement somewhere, and there will be no warranty. In 2022, I had no issues whatsoever changing out some tires that were four years old and had broken studs. As a result, when I got a new automobile, I didn't give any consideration to whether I should have summer or winter wheels. But unfortunately. Once more, it was discovered that the quality of the studding was on par with that of the Chinese underground. At the same time, the quality of the service provided under the warranty has declined in some way. During the first season, one-third of the spikes at the Michelin broke off. After this winter and a total winter run of fewer than 20 thousand kilometres, there were no entire spikes left at all. I went to the warranty servicing on the Electrodnaya and they told me that the tires are in good shape and have 6-7 mm of tread left. On the day of 04/20/2022, at approximately 2:00 in the afternoon, there were two further unhappy customers who were arguing with Michelin employees about the studding. Call! The following day, a letter denying the warranty is delivered with some extremely odd language: tires without studs are suitable for continuing use, and the lack of these studs does not in any way alter the consumer attributes of rubber. We strongly suggest that you take a break right now. Gentlemen from Bibendium! Ay! Why are you charging more money for studded tires if the studs have no effect on anything? Why are you running advertisements proclaiming that you have "smart" studs in publications like as Car Review and Driving? They end it all by killing themselves, right? After 20,000 kilometers, should it be typical for all of the spikes to have broken off? That wasn't anything that came with my Viatti. At this point, the word on the street is that you should switch to winter tires at the end of April. khe-khe. On

Pros
  • grip on the ice, low noise, and effective rowing
Cons
  • 1. the quality of the studding: for three consecutive winters, all of the studs on all of the wheels either flew out or broke off. 2. The warranty obligations that Michelin is obligated to fulfill are now only verbal.
