Review on MICHELIN X-Ice Snow 205/55 R16 95H winter by Bogusawa Daczkowska ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product did not cause delight, but you can use it.

195/65 R15, the kit was made on the 30th week of 2022 in Germany, bought and put on the Lacetti station wagon now, in September 2022. Since the kit has just been delivered and has not yet seen winter, this review should be considered preliminary. Actually, it should not have been written, if not for one "but": This tire is one of the 5 noisiest tires I have ever ridden in 23 years of driving. No, of course, it doesn’t howl like a dive Junkers (only NIISHP Rally-2022 did this), but it can be clearly heard in a “separate voice” already at 40 km / h. We will see how it will cope with the main program and its direct duties, as well as whether there will be an improvement in terms of acoustic comfort as a result of rolling (the review will be supplemented accordingly), but so far it does not matter. To be honest, from a product with a name, which is still not three kopecks, the expectations were different. Again, a rolled-back kit of another brand, which was replaced by a subject due to the lack of the desired size in the right size, did not need to be rolled in and behaved quietly, as they say, out of the box. I don’t know, maybe I was unlucky with the kit, but so far this is a promising nominee in the Bitter Disappointment 2022 category :(

Cons
  • Howls. Here's howling.
