Not bad. Not badat all!
We installed them on my wife’s car (2011 M-B B200), so I quote her: Pretty reliable Safe Uphill on snow / ice not enough grip to drive safely, but when others were slipping I was still able to ride Not as good as Contis (Well, bigger heavier car with AWD - my comment) Very good in rain and snow on flat
Michelin winter tire
Excellent tire for winter. This is the second set I bought.
Absolutely terrible tires that didn't last 2 winters
I bought a set of Michelin X-Ice snow tires from Costco on October 26, 2023, and this has been one of the most frustrating purchases I’ve made. After only normal winter use, these tires are already worn down to 4/32 of tread. That is completely unacceptable for a premium winter tire that’s supposed to last multiple seasons. These were not abused in any way—they were installed on dedicated steel rims, with my Toyota Highlander’s aluminum rims used only for summer tires. This was proper, careful use, and yet the tires wore out ridiculously fast. What’s even more disappointing is Costco’s response. Instead of standing behind the product they sold, they immediately tried to pass the blame onto Michelin rather than taking any responsibility. As the retailer, Costco should be advocating for their customer—not deflecting and making it my problem to chase the manufacturer. Between the poor durability of the tires and Costco’s unwillingness to properly deal with the issue, this has been a terrible experience overall. I expected much better from both the product and the service. I won’t be buying tires from Costco again, and I definitely won’t be choosing these tires in the future.

Well worth the price
Excellent grip in all conditions, slow, sleet and ice. Given the winter we had I was so glad to have snow tires that were exactly what their description implied. They got me through terrible white out conditions, heavy snow falls and freezing rain in the snow belt area of Perth County. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for new tires.
Confort.. silencieux, bonne traction sur glace
Excellent thus far.
Pas un luxe mais une nécessité
Je les adore! Mon véhicule est beaucoup plus silencieux. Les pneus travaillent très bien dans la neige et je suis certaine qu'ils m'ont évité une sortie de route. Je me suis sentie plus sécure qu'avec les pneus de 10 ans qui étaient dessus. Merci!
Bien satisfaite
Très bons pneus sur la neige et sur la glace.
