Michelins newest tire the X-Ice Snow which is made or nearly any vehicle out there, has a good amount of less traction when it comes to thick or a lot of snow. However, the ride quality of this tire is the best for any winter tire and well above most all seasons.
I’ve run Blizzaks on my 2014 Forester before, but I’m currently on my second year with a set of Michelin X-Ice and they’ve been great so far. The sidewalls on the X-Ice don’t seem to flex as much as the Blizzak so the car feels better in corners, especially when running on dry pavement.
X-Ice for me. A few reviews noted they did a bit better in slush, water, etc vs just deep snow so they make sense where I live.
Michelin x ice worked awesome for me.
I had cooper evo tours on my E90 bmw, they were good tires, a little on the noisy side but otherwise fine, especially for the price I paid.
Get any reputable tire: Falken Sincera, Continental Control Contact, Yokohama AVID, Hankook Kinergy, Cooper Evolution, etc. Spend a total of $50 more, and your tires will run much safer, and for even longer.
PS4S are the best tires I’ve ever had but are a lot more expensive.
They were good tires IMHO. No complaints, other than the road noise from them was loud on the freeway.
Honestly this isn't all that uncommon in Michelins and Michelin won't warrant it, they call it normal.
The o.e. tires where Continental Conti's but these results are from the present Michelin's. I didn't have the Conti's on long and unfortunately I never closely watched the MPG before going to the Michelins. the Conti's were slippery feeling and I see they are rated LRR, which I knew nothing about at the time. The mpg dropped w/ the Michelins... especially with lower pressure.
