I bought Michelin Maxi Ice tires 16 years ago, drove them for 3 winters until I sold the car. the impressions were simply magnificent, rowing in deep snow, where cars slipped on other wheels, and along the track it was simply magnificent. Now I'm going to buy Michelin X-Ice Xi3, so I read a lot of reviews on different sites and they are all contradictory, 50/50. Maybe someone can compare those tires and new ones. It is necessary to purchase literally in the next month, because. tires are not cheap, and now there is a seasonal discount. I have been riding the Yokohama Ice Guard Velcro for 5 years now. I thought that there was nothing better than her, but for the second winter, after wear, the rubber became just tin! You can’t drive more than 40 on it for sure in ice. Especially drags the when there are no pengers behind. For four years, I go almost every day to work on the intercity, 130 km there and back.
