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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I would definitely recommend the purchase, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

I put my wife's 2.0L on Kia SOUL. I changed my shoes earlier than expected, but at temperatures below +10 on regular 235/45 r18 it became quite tough. Plus, there are no queues and hype. Chose size 216/60r16. While running and the car and the rubber. This car doesn't drive much. From home to work. Before that, on all machines, both my wife and I had Haka 7 tires on her former sportage. For me, 7k is a certain sample of winter tires in all respects. If they were selling it now, I would take the same one. Nordman is not the same anymore. I don’t like Haka-8, the 9th one is overpriced, and there are a lot of negative reviews about them about breaking the cord, etc. I thought about trying a friction clutch, but I was afraid to put my wife. Plus, there is also a monodrive (and there are several not pleasant slides along the way, on which many people grind in winter. First impressions of the Michelin are mixed. Firstly, it is noisy. But so far it has traveled no more than 200 km, and it is warm outside for spikes. However, no other downsides were noted. The rubber is soft and comfortable to drive, there is no feeling of rolling, it stands confidently. Acceleration and braking is too early to evaluate. I will definitely add later. P. S. supplement after the season. Mileage is not great. 4-5 thousand. The spikes are all in place, they didn’t bend, they didn’t break. Wear is not noticeable. Of the minuses, braking on asphalt (standard for spikes) and at zero temperature floats a little. And great tires

Pros
  • Excellent directional stability on asphalt, even at +10 degrees. Soft rubber, but no roll. Well made and looks great. The price tag is nicer than on hack 9 and conti 2.
Cons
  • Noisy, but while running on the street is a plus. Perhaps something that is made in the 2022. A lot of negative reviews on the previous model. I hope the spikes of the spikes do not get lost ahead of time.
