Review on MICHELIN X-Ice 3 195/65 R15 95T winter by Ewa Czubak ᠌

Aggregate carrier: Skoda Fabia 1.6 AT, 185/60 R14. ate on the occasion of ice. Asphalt: With a strong plus, they frankly soften, but they hold the road. The rubber is soft, after changing the tires I was surprised at the silence of the passage of small cracks-joints: where the cordiant sport2 was hollowed out like wood, the bears barely whisper. At the same time, the behavior of rubber in corners is at the level of summer tires: no smeared reactions, no trajectory deviations. With minus everything is fine, and most importantly quiet. Ice: They hold on to rough ice no worse than the GoodYear UG500. I skid on acceleration, but thanks to traction control, you can stomp the pedal without hesitation and confidently leave traffic lights without moving into the next lane. On braking, everything is fine, the ABS is silent until you cross a reasonable line. The very moment of crossing the edge is quite predictable and does not cause fear. With smooth ice, it's a little worse. Warm tires keep on 3 out of 5. Unheated on a two. In general, you need to be on the alert and understand that these are NOT "thorns". However, I don’t miss the corners, I didn’t notice hopeless demolitions, the car slows down, turns, accelerates. head works :) Snow: On the untouched 10 centimeter snowdrifts of the yard, a rod is like on asphalt. From a place in the same snowdrifts move off calmly. I drove into a bunch of janitors collected higher and denser. Also no problem. On the snowy slush on the highway, the car allows you to drive 80-90 km / h. When rebuilding through a snow rut, it sips a little from side to side, but you can not dump the gas. The overtaking stabilization system does not come into play. In a turn, combined with an intensive set of speed, the nose blows. The transverse grip properties are noticeably weaker than the longitudinal ones. But thanks to the stabilization system, the car remained within the intended trajectory. In the office yard, under a thin layer of snow (they cleaned it with a tractor in the morning), there was ice, the ABS had already worked here, but without surprises and a frightening increase in the braking distance. In general, I'm happy with the tires. Recommended for cars with ESP and ABS in metropolitan areas. You have to be careful on the ice (this is also true for the “spike”).
