Michelin X-Ice Snow Winter Tire Review

Michelin X-Ice Snow winter tires are available in an impressive 143 sizes for wheels ranging from 15 up to 22 inches, and the company boasts that these tires also feature the Flex-Ice 2.0 tread compound, a unique rubber mix that maintains its flexibility in cold conditions, and softer rubber can mean more traction, but can they get the job done in snow without being noisy and unstable on dry roads? To find out we mounted them on a rear-wheel drive Ford Mustang Mach-E all-electric SUV. We’ll see how well these things perform and see if you should consider getting a set for your EV.

I’ve been using sets of Michelin X-Ice tires for the last 20 years on my non EV vehicle and I couldn’t agree more, they are terrific in the snow. They last a long time and are definitely better in wet conditions than any of the various brands I used for all-seasons in the summer time. I’ll keep using them.

Can't wait to put these on my F150. Hello from Atlantic Canada! 😀

I have been running a set of 4 Michelin summer and a second set of 4 winter (x-ice snow) since 1979. An excellent product for our conditions here in Atlantic Canada. They are made right here in my province. Disappointed that they do not have a run flat winter for my new Lexus NX350.

I live in Ontario and while we don't get this much snow, we have our fair share of cold weather. Planning to put on a new set of Michelin X-ice snow tires this week on my EV- Tesla Model Y LR. Hope they perform as well in winter on ice and snow as they are highly rated among the best of the best in terms of grip and rolling resistance. I've never used these before but looking forward to it.

We live in the northeastern corner of the midatlantic, and I put these on our 2023 i4. Amazing grip and overall performance. Glad we made the swap. All seasons going back on in a couple weeks.

I had a bad experience with Michelin tires. They were cracking prematurely. That is why I switched to Bridgestone, which has been performing very well and much better.

Great review, thank you! One request: Please add the Temperature, Traction, and Treadwear ratings, which I always consider before purchasing a tire.

I have tried different winter tires over the years. Had Bridgestone Blizzak twice, but found they wore down too quickly so it was like driving on an all-season after a very short time.
Currently have Michelin X-Ice which need to be replaced. They are great on snow but don't like how they perform on ice. The name "X-ice" is very misleading.
In the process of making a final decision on the Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded or non-studded instead. Does anyone have a recommendation on either one of these. The issue about studded tires is the "popcorn" noise which may become extremely irritating, although being able to stop on ice is ultimately important.
