Tires MICHELIN or OEM Mazda

I’ve bought both for my Jetta. The X-Ice worked great in our winter conditions. The X-Ice have a 60k tread wear warranty and the Blizzaks have none. The X-Ice are also made at the Michelin Pictou plant so they support Nova Scotian jobs.

I would stand by the Michelin Cross Climate 2 as a year round tire. I found it fantastic in the rain and snow. I think the trade off was that the ice performance was worse than a traditional snow and ice tire, but overall, it was just fantastic and if my current car hadn't come with new tires, I would have just bought those again.

X-Ice are great.

the X-Ice has lower rolling resistance (better fuel economy) and is the only winter tire I know of with a manufacturer treadlife warranty, so if longevity is your concern, go Michelin.

my michelin x ice's lasted FOREVER.

I have the Michelin X-Ice and I love them! Plus Michelin tires have a road side assistance included, which I love

Have Michelins on my car. The Michelins are starting their 3 or 4th season with still tons of tread life remaining. I have bombed through snow that was easy 1-1.5feet and never got stuck or had any concerns!

Michelin x-ice for sure. I bought a used set years ago and got a few seasons out of them, and then replaced them with Blizzaks. Regretted it immediately; the x-ice were so much better.

Vara/primavara/toamna se comporta foarte ok, nu am sesizat diferente fata de o anvelopa dedicata. Se comporta chiar mai bine decat o anvelopa dedicata din gama medie de pret.

Iarna pe frig (fara zapada) la fel, comportament excelent.

Insa in zapada, chiar si mica, acolo am observat diferente. Trebuie sa conduc cu cel putin 30-40% mai “defensiv” si mai atent ca sa nu fiu luat prin surprindere (distanta franare, derapaj, urcare/coborare pante).

I’ll never buy Michelin Pilot Sports ever again. The last set I bought would get flat spots while sitting at work for 8hrs and would take 10mins of driving to round out again.
