Tyre reviews Michelin Latitude X-Ice North Xin2 86

I have a set of Michelin Latitude X-Ice North winter tires - 265/70 R16 112T. I've been using Michelin Latitude Cross 265/70 R16 112H tires for three summer seasons now and they are extremely soft and durable, I've driven into ruts many times and there's been no damage to the sidewalls. Even on muddy drives, they don't even attempt to spin out, they're extremely grippy. At this point, there

I've used them for 6 winters, I consider Michelin to be the best tire manufacturer, I've also had Hakka and Continental, I think Hakka's popularity is overrated, they are very, very noisy. Continental is of course on the same level as Michelin, but the price at the time of purchase was higher, so I chose Michelin. Over 6 years, the studs have worn out, but at least 60% are still left, the conditions of use were city, highway, and snowy Siberian winter roads with temperatures below -40. Now the prices for these brands have skyrocketed, but I can definitely say that they are worth every penny. You have to pay for safety, car repairs will be even more expensive...

Careful driving, maximum speed 120 km/h. Replacement in mid-April with almost no studs left. The stud base is still in place, but the tips are missing (as if cut off). Something was fiddled with the studs in 2012...

Spent three months of winter with zero complaints - everything is fine. Nissan Patrol rode 120 kilometers a day. 90% of the ride was on the rear-wheel drive. Due to the quality of the tires, the four-wheel drive was almost never engaged, with the rear-wheel drive sufficient, and it was occasionally engaged on off-road or steep ascents.

Second car on this tire. Previously it was a Ford Focus 2.5 winter and sold with a decent tread depth remaining. Now the Nissan has already been through the 6th winter and again there is at least half of the tread left. So the wear resistance is excellent. Ice and snow out in the countryside at the dacha and fishing are handled perfectly. The noise level is low. Above 120dB no noise appears and that's with the Pirelli not being particularly sound-ins

Excellent tire. Studding sits solidly. For the fourth winter, the studding has started to break off, but not critically at 2-4 studding per wheel and only on the front (I drive fast and in 4WD). I don't spare the tire, so this is a real assessment of wear. Otherwise, it has never let me down, and there were many critical moments. Superb tire.

Hold the road well on snow, splash, ice. Very noisy, this is the biggest minus. Overall, good tires.

Hold the road well in turns, good gripping traction when braking.

In the winter forest, they perform very well, no studs have fallen off throughout the season.

On water, they feel worse than the Hakapeliitta 5 to my perception.

Excellent tires. I drove through the entire X-ICE North line and I'm extremely satisfied with the value for money of the Latitude X-ICE North tires. I've been driving on one X-ICE North with studs for 4 years and 90% of the studs are still in place. I also have 2 X-ICE North tires on my second car, which has been in operation for 2 years in the city regime and not a single stud has come loose. I also want

Sorry, dude, I've never seen anything like this before. This is chaos. It's all the opposite of what the ads say. I've been wanting to buy this exact model for a long time, but I'm severely disappointed. The Foresterra is 13 years old, and before that, it was a 4x4 Hakanpeli. It feels like I'm driving on summer tires, and I have to check twice a day - are they winter tires or not, do
