X ice have been pretty good for Edmonton/Alberta winters. We used them for about 6 years.
I have also run X-Ice Snow when they updated that tire. One thing to note about most winter tires, is that when they get wear down, the lower part of the tread is no longer considered a snow tire, but rather all seasons. X-Ice snow doesn't do this, the sipes go all the way down to the bottom. That kinda sold me on them when I had purchased them.
I've used X-ice for years. One of the best tires on the market for snow.
I drive a 2004 volvo XC70, that sees a lot of dirt, mud, back roads and sometimes even snow. Michelin cross climate 2s on that thing no matter what... Those tires are just plain amazing on anything all wheel drive that encounters a lot of sloppy shit.
Michelin Defenders best tire on the market don\u2019t care what anyone says
Put some michellins on and the problem went away
If you drive much to snowy areas, Michelin Crossclimate2 is the way to go. They are the best in snow short of dedicated snow tires. They are somewhat quieter than the OEM and the Continental Crosscontact tires I had before.
Just got Michelin Defenders for 800 installed and the difference from the OEM Primacy tires is huge. Much quieter.
Great tyres, just don't put them on a high performance car. Or don't drive it like its designed too haha. The cords start to show even though there is still plenty tread. I had that in my RS5. But for normal driving, they are ace, and the tread lasts forever.
Michelin is the only brand that comes close and I've calculated they're roughly 30% more expensive and last me about 80% as long. I was a big Michelin fanboy and loyal to a fault.
