Review on MICHELIN X-Ice North 4 SUV 285/60 R18 116T winter by Wiktor Winiewski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product, the best quality.

I acquired 265/60 R18 tires for the new TLC-150 Prado V6 in August 2022. Date of manufacture is the 19th week of 2022, and this size was made in Poland. I covered 5000 kilometers on them during the winter of 2022–2022. Winter in St. Petersburg is always changing, which is why the pavement is covered with ice. It never entered a skid while driving, which is perfect road manners. The spikes are still there (there are a lot of them; I didn't count them all precisely). Predictably, gasoline consumption (highway) rose by around 0.5 liters per hundred compared to the summer Dunlop AT22. After switching shoes, I immediately felt the suppleness. The car travels without vibrations or side withdrawal (I drive up to 140 km/h on the highway in winter). The cold maintained a 2.1 bar pressure without the need for pumping.

Pros
  • a good balance. Soft. On the ice, they excel. not loud.
Cons
  • Snow accumulates in the lamellas fast. The tread pattern differs slightly from the one shown in the promotional images; there are only 1, not 2, transverse grooves on the rubber lugs, those with a herringbone pattern.
