I’ve bought both for my Jetta. The X-Ice worked great in our winter conditions. The X-Ice have a 60k tread wear warranty and the Blizzaks have none. The X-Ice are also made at the Michelin Pictou plant so they support Nova Scotian jobs.
I would stand by the Michelin Cross Climate 2 as a year round tire. I found it fantastic in the rain and snow. I think the trade off was that the ice performance was worse than a traditional snow and ice tire, but overall, it was just fantastic and if my current car hadn't come with new tires, I would have just bought those again.
X-Ice are great.
the X-Ice has lower rolling resistance (better fuel economy) and is the only winter tire I know of with a manufacturer treadlife warranty, so if longevity is your concern, go Michelin.
my michelin x ice's lasted FOREVER.
I have the Michelin X-Ice and I love them! Plus Michelin tires have a road side assistance included, which I love
Have Michelins on my car. The Michelins are starting their 3 or 4th season with still tons of tread life remaining. I have bombed through snow that was easy 1-1.5feet and never got stuck or had any concerns!
Michelin x-ice for sure. I bought a used set years ago and got a few seasons out of them, and then replaced them with Blizzaks. Regretted it immediately; the x-ice were so much better.
3 roky som jazdil na michelin crossclimate 3, pred kupou som pozeral vela vela recenzii a testov, boli top 1, tak som ich kupil.
Fazit: ok, netreba prezuvat, ale v zime ked nasnezilo nebolo mi vsetko jedno, auto šmýkalo jak na letných.
Gonna cost me $1200 for 4 Michelin Defender 2's (245/55/19) on my 2008 Highlander (March 2025) with installation.
