Michelin X-Ice North Xin 2 175/65 R14 82T

very predictable behavior on any surface, it rows virgin soil well - we live on the edge of a cottage village and often in the morning after a snowfall we have to scrape snowdrifts with our belly, in such a situation it does not dig in and allows us to drive backwards and make our way to the main road by the back and forth method .. stable on ice within the limit of reasonable speeds, but it is reluctant to get out of the icy ruts - apparently an excessively transverse pattern has an effect .. it slips in the porridge but drags confidently .. in general, there is a feeling that the car is under full control on this rubber .. comfort in terms of smoothness on 5, since the rubber is soft even in frost below 30 degrees, but it’s better to avoid curbs and sharp protrusions because the sidewall is too tender .. about the noise, yes, it’s noisy like most spikes, in addition, since the tread is soft, be sure to roll the spikes .. a set of these wheels in size 185/65-r14 passed 30 tyk on the wife's fabia in 4 seasons, while the tread was worn from 10 to 9 mm in total, 1 spike was lost on 2 wheels and 2 on the remaining 2 .. the spikes were slightly worn but protrude by 2-2.5 mm and stand exactly without skew ... the result is excellent ... though the ride is very accurate
