Vi Bilagare: Studless Winter Tire Test R16
Ranked #6th of 8. Michelin X-Ice SnowVerdict:The new X–Ice Snow model is not very much different from its predecessor, the X–Ice 3. Essentially, it is a hard winter tire, designed to tackle speeds over 200 km/h, with a good road holding ability on clear pavement. It has the lowest rolling resistance on test, but a long stopping distance on wet pavement. On snow and ice, the Michelin model ensures good longitudinal traction during acceleration and braking, but its lateral grip is much worse than that of the leaders. In addition, when driving on these Michelin tires, one will have a harder time feeling the brink of the grip, which disappears more abruptly than on other, softer winter models. Such a behavior repeats when cornering on wet pavement. In spite of its good road holding ability on clear pavement, low fuel consumption, and short braking distances on winter surfaces, the Michelin X–Ice Snow cornering performance did not allow it to rise higher than the sixth place.

Test World: Winter Tire Test R16
Ranked #8th of 21. Michelin X-Ice SnowVerdict:Positive: Short braking distance on ice (for non-studded tires). Good handling response and high safety level on snow. The tires keep up reliable grip on asphalt during an emergency maneuver (even though the steering response is somewhat inaccurate).
Negative: The steering response on ice is somewhat delayed — but the tires ensure stable performance in any situation. Relatively long braking distance on asphalt. -
