Review on MICHELIN X-Ice Snow 215/60 R16 99H winter by Ada Wocial ᠌

I would very much like to compare this model and the declared best in many tests. viking contact 7 . but here you need to choose for yourself, in some ways one is better, in some other way, and the persistence of properties during wear in Michelin is important if this is the case Different pros: I bought tires (205/55/16) almost as soon as they came out, there was little information, reviews and even less. there were almost none, rare reviews . well, in general, the decisive factor was the positive impression of the summer (pilot sport 4) as a result, I trusted the brand, and in winter I still focus on handling in critical situations, i. on ice and snow-covered track, and the name speaks for itself. So, impressions, after the summer, at first there is some valkost (I’ll immediately say the driving style is very active and this is important), but immediately plus that it is very quiet, especially when compared with studded, i. E. there is no terrible discomfort during the transition from summer and further other pluses: controllability on a dry a / b is good, on a wet one in the minus only braking with slippage (with a sharp one), I drive in slush and wet snow on a 100+ highway with frequent rebuilding tires +ESP work out with a bang, rowing in the snow is excellent! on ice . according to many tests, the acceleration time is the best among all stickies, and this is worth something, it certainly makes no sense to compare with spikes, be careful on a snowy surface under which ice is, the spikes will work better here, but if you take into account the total handling (especially on snow - subjectively), quietness, persistence of properties during wear (declared by the manufacturer), then I was not at all disappointed! If someone read this review, the tires inspire confidence on the road, but please be vigilant on the ice, which may appear in places where you do not expect it, one day I was driving along the road and in a hurry, I decided to check the clutch by braking, everything was fine, but through a few minutes at a speed of 50 km I went into a steep turn and there a surprise awaited me in the form of rolling and ice (braking section) and the clutch disappeared from the word completely, in such situations miracles will not happen and no rubber with all kinds of electronic assistants will help you, it’s important here so that confidence does not develop into self-confidence) and all pleasant operation! Different cons: If objectively there is some kind of instability during sharp turns on a snowy surface, I will say right away that this is subjective and regarding how it behaves amazingly in general, braking on wet pavement is also objectively inferior to competitors and in fact I have experienced it more than once.
