Review on MICHELIN X-Ice North 4 SUV 265/55 R20 113T winter by Wiktor Janic ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

In this day and age of globalization, in my humble opinion, all products that fall inside the same price bracket have nearly the same level of consumer-oriented features. The distinction in marketing. Because of this, reviews such as "The best winter tires I have ever ridden" and "The worst tires" are disregarded right from the beginning of the process. 235/60/R18. In Hong Kong during the months of November and December in the year 2022, the rubber is transparent and well worth the investment. The winter that really counts is coming; I will write more about that later. 01/10/2022: Well, it looks like winter has finally arrived. The first significant snowfall of the year occurred on New Year's Eve. After a snowfall, I traveled to the countryside on a road that was not maintained by either party (the snow was rolled). Handling and braking with a boom! As was to be predicted, the components of this tire are composed of snow and ice. Excellent braking and clear control over the vehicle's direction are both present.

Pros
  • I will make a reservation as soon as possible; at this point, on the eve of the New Year 2022, it is pointless to wait for a comprehensive evaluation from buyers residing on the Central 2022 Upland! The cities have not received any snowfall, and the temperature is straining to reach 0 degrees Celsius. These studded tires on clean asphalt in the city have a number of advantages, including the following: - mild noise. Do not put any stock in the remarks that claim they are not noisy. People are easily influenced either because the music is intense or because of marketing. On the other hand, they are noticeably quieter than the Toyo OpenCountry and the Nokian SUV 5, all of which are in the same price range. However, even with good Shumkov, there is a rumble closer than one hundred kilometers, and its rhythmic scream may be heard. However, there are no increases in activity if this symptom is absent. - After two months of driving on asphalt with a Honda C-RV K24, all of the spikes are in their proper positions. I believe that this is a reliable signal. a high level of resistance when rolling. This model takes off at a stoplight without much "thoughtfulness" despite having a studded tread and soft rubber. That will do for the time being. When the actual winter of 2022 arrives, I'll go ahead and write it off.
Cons
  • To tell you the truth, having given in to marketing, I anticipated a lower overall level of noise. Despite the fact that I have spent my entire life driving only on studded tires during the winter, I thought, "Well, that's it." There is some noise, but it is less than what was experienced in the Nokian SUV 5 and the Toyota OpenCountry that came before it. There were no further problems that were found. The season of true winter may soon arrive; only time will tell.
