Not thrilled with winter performance.
These tires are just marginally better than all seasons that came on my 2025 Audi Q7. I have had Bizzaks Hakkapeliitta R5 and Continental snow tires that are all better in deep snow and slush. These are a quieter tire but thats not as important as traction to me. The price was also higher than others. Expected much better for my money.

Once Again-The Best!
Great tires; been running them for years (yes, they have worn and replaced) but they last a long time. The handling has been superb, very little noise, awesome traction and they give a comfortable ride. Net, A+

Do not buy
I would not recommend. I had a set on my Porsche and the rears lasted me only 15,300 kms, so durability is a serious issue. Will not be purchasing again. I’ve trusted Michelin for years but this is just unacceptable.

Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to winter tires.
ZP = Zero Pressure Run-Flat Technology
XL = Extra Load
DIR = Directional
>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.
WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.
DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.
Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. does not endorse the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.
