Great quality and good winter and water threaded pattern
I've run about 6 sets of these on various vehicles. These are the #1 winter tire out there. Quiet, smooth, very very safe tire, and the best tread wear out of any winter tire. I haven't been off the road or been stuck in over 9 years running these tires.
AMAzing tires. ive had three sets all on Subaru. I haven't come across any winter weather that will stop them
Very nice directional tire
Love the tires.. Very reasonable
didn't last long

Driving through winter weather is a tough ordeal for any driver, especially one who doesn't have tires that provide strong traction on ice and snow. Michelin's X-Ice Xi3 winter tire is built to conquer ice and snow thanks to its FleX-Ice rubber compound and Cross Z sipes that enhance traction. A unique contact patch allows rubber to consistently be placed on the road for a longer tread life, while the X-Ice Xi3 is designed to help reduce fuel consumption. Featuring a Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol thanks to its abilities in severe snow conditions, the X-Ice Xi3 is commonly used on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Malibu, Chrysler Town & Country, and Volkswagen Jetta.
