Honestly this isn't all that uncommon in Michelins and Michelin won't warrant it, they call it normal.

The Michelins Xice are so good I rarely buy anything else. Hardly notice they are on in dry conditions. The big van gets BFG KO2 tires and those pretty much rule as well
Pros: so good, hardly notice in dry conditions
Michelin Xi3 on my Mustang. I got stuck once in my alleyway because of a really bad ice storm, but otherwise no problems. They are a bit floaty (as winter tires tend to be), but otherwise good dry performance too.
Pros: good dry performance, no problems
Cons: a bit floaty, got stuck once in ice storm
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I have Michelin Xi3's. I can't recommend them if you care about your car's performance at all. If you don't GAF then these are fine. Probably ideal for a Prius. They work fine in snow, the brakes work on ice, and the ride is alright. That's all the praise I can give them.
Pros: work fine in snow, brakes work on ice
Cons: poor performance, not recommended
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
My Jetta’s got the defender 60k’s on them and it’s a bit noisy and poor in the snow
Cons: noisy, poor in snow
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I purchased a set of X-Ice for my old Audi A6 years ago and had great tire life - over 8 winters - and still only half worn when I sold the car with 144,000 miles on it. Super traction on Ice - Packed Snow - and every day cold weather wet driving in Seattle. Took a trip in CA national parks in December and never got stuck. So when I got my Alltrack SEL - I saved the 17 inch wheels from my Buyback TDI - and bought another set of Michelin X-Ice to fit the 17's and though only driven one winter I think they are great. They are not noisy and a great ride - better then the Conti's on 18 inch Wheels actually.
Pros: great tire life, super traction, not noisy, great ride
Vehicle:
Audi A6
Mileage: 231745 km
I own a rwd lowered coupe, drove it all winter last year and bought Michelin x ice tires, had no issues. As long as you're a decent winter driver and have good winter tires you'll be fine.
Pros: no issues
Definitely winters for a RWD, I had a RWD 335i with X-Ice 3 and I never had an issue with tires. The only problem I had with snow was my car basically plowing the streets because it was so low.
Pros: no issue with tires
Cons: car plowed streets
Vehicle:
BMW
All weathers weren't worth it in my case, I'm not hard on my tires at all and I logged 35-45k On the ones I bought last year and they are already at 2/32'nds. I went back to all seasons this year, due to I'd rather get the 80,000km's with the Michelins I bought. Nor did I really notice a difference in traction/handling between All Weathers and All Seasons.
Pros: none
Cons: wore out quickly
Mileage: 40000 km
I would suggest Michelin Defenders, my JSW had them on for 35,000 miles and look great when I traded the car back to VW.
Pros: look great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 35000 km
