Michelin X-Ice Xi2 205/65R16 95 T Tire

I have a very steep long driveway and a heavy rear wheel drive car. In the past I have owned performance snow tires which always struggled to get me up the driveway with even a coating of snow on the ground. I have had no problems getting up my driveway this winter with these tires. I even had a day when the driveway was covered with a layer of ice and I feared I wouldn't make it up, but to my surprise I was able to get up the driveway with the TCS only coming on a couple times.

I have used these tires on my Think City EV on 2-3 inches of slush and ice. I bought 4 new 175/65R-14 Michelin X-Ice Xi2 tires for winter driving. These are a must if you need to drive in snow or ice. I bought them because somebody told me they were "as good as studded tires, without the studs" So far with them I can do pretty well in 3-4 inches of iced over snow. My driveway is not very steep, maybe 2' of rise over 25', The original stock tires will not pull the car up the slope at all. I had to get a good running start to even get it up the driveway. The new tires will pull right up the snow packed ice with still a bit of extra traction. My wife drove the car past some 4x4's stuck along side the road in the ice, so I suspect they are very good solution for someone that wants winter and summer tires with no studs. They are low rolling resistance and have good ride and wear characteristics and will work all year around if necessory. Johnny

In Minnesota, we get quite a mix of weather conditions. I drive on dry highway, icy county roads, and my oftentimes unplowed side road. These tires make it so I can barely tell the difference between the three. I cannot stop bragging about these tires to people. my wife is sick of me talking about how much I love them. What a world of difference they make, I']m sticking with Michelins.

When thinking of using all season tires in the winter on a mustang, these x ices are not even comparable. Michigan weather is incredibly unpredictable and these seem like they will keep the white knuckle driving in check this winter. They performed excellent on about 1/2 inch of fresh snow.

I'm starting my second winter season in Wi driving on these tires. They are truly amazing. I travel about 200 miles a day in my sales/consulting position and can't let snow keep me from my appointments. With these tires I know I can make my appointments, and better yet make it home safely to my family no matter the amount of snow and ice I must drive through. I can't tell you the number of times I've seen cars loosing control and I feel like I'm glued to the road. If you are like me and need to drive in bad winter weather, these are the tires you want. Unbelievable performance in snowy/icy roads.
