truck tires<\/a>, of course, but you can expect it to be stronger than standard car tires to accommodate the dragged nature of SUV driving. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWe started our ride with cargos of 2500 lbs and already experienced smooth, seamless rides under very little traction loss, so you should have no problems adding more to that number on the way at every 25 to 30-minute<\/strong> stop. Accelerations were not really an SUV driver’s priority, but still, X-Ice Snow handled abrupt speed surges toward 65 MPH with surprising confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThere was not much traction difference between light and deep snow zones, either, so your car would likely suffer from no panic reactions typical of most tiers when changing lanes\/textures. Navigating S-curves<\/strong> or doglegs on snow-covered banks beyond 8 inches will be also a breeze for you, rarely muting out or giving hesitant responses despite your inconsistent inputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe hiccups got more obvious when we moved from snow to icy roads, but that was to be expected for a slippery, slick road surface of these kinds. Put aside the occasional drifting, and you will find the Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV to hold its ground well: traveling at regular driving speed is just fine with little problem tackling tight-necked crooks, except for trickier patches like glazed or black ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not much room was left for complaints in terms of on-road traction and comfort. The Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV even exceeded the Bridgestone champion above, cushioning road impacts so subtly that you might barely register their presence at all. And while treadwear was not exactly exceptional, it was still pretty decent; you will not have to worry about it for at least the first year of usage. <\/p>\n\n\n
