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

I can’t say anything about traction, but not because I’m so ignorant, but because of reasonable driving: even where I allow huge speeding, I do it that way and where it’s safe for me and others. On frank ice and generally in slippery conditions, I try to drive without sudden movements, and slow down smoothly. This is probably why it is difficult for me to talk about the difference in the behavior of tires if I am not a tester and have not tested them to the limit. And I consider all reviews FOR THE SAME REASON to be useless, tk. it is ordinary people expressing their "seems" no more. Bought, tires are being driven. Fine! As others have done it. It's hard to say more. But here's what I can DEFINITELY APPROVE is the presence of a rumble from the tread and spikes. He is, and not small. There is nothing to compare with. In the sense that at the moment I do not remember quiet winter studded tires. All buzzed, howled, on which he rode. Apparently, this is an inevitability. But I am writing all this because when they write that this model is quiet . . as for me, this is either a lie or self-deception. For comparison, I left the salon on the all-weather Nexen. They are wooden, the vibration was transmitted such that in the cabin there was really a low-frequency rumble. I put Michelin x-ice 4 and, despite the howl from the tread, they are BETTER in terms of noise, because. the nature of the noise is different. However, when summer comes, I will put a normal quiet rubber. Then it will be quiet tires. And these x-ices are not quiet, they howl. The clatter of spikes is heard up to 50 km / h, then it goes away or mixes, there are no questions to it. But the howl is still worth it. The other day proshumil arches. It seems that the howl has become more muffled, but I will still take measurements, I have not yet reached my test "favorite" section of the road, where I take measurements from the asphalt. Well, I played checkerboard at 160 m11 the other day on ABSOLUTELY wet asphalt, a little in puddles (+1 degree of heat on Saturday). Sliding, skidding or skidding was not found, which means the adhesion of the norms. But I can’t say what is different from, for example, Bridgestone Blizzak Spike-01.
