I'm starting my second winter season in Wi driving on these tires. They are truly amazing. I travel about 200 miles a day in my sales/consulting position and can't let snow keep me from my appointments. With these tires I know I can make my appointments, and better yet make it home safely to my family no matter the amount of snow and ice I must drive through. I can't tell you the number of times I've seen cars loosing control and I feel like I'm glued to the road. If you are like me and need to drive in bad winter weather, these are the tires you want. Unbelievable performance in snowy/icy roads.

well to boot i've been using the x-ice for 5 seasons then they turned into my summer tires so i got this x-ice xi2 but it seems like the snow/deep snow/packed snow performance just isn't as good as the x-ice tires.....if [@] still sold the x-ice i would of returned the x-ice xi2's for the x-ice's instead. don't get me wrong they are good tires but i've yet to see how they perform on the break up season ice yet but we'll see then. being in alaska we do get a lot of snow this season so far and they do do well but in the heavy snow they tend to float more then the original x-ice's. i like to visit a park on top of a mountain at night and after it snows and they post only cars/trucks with 4wd or chains. i remember going up there when it was dumping snow many years ago and i couldn't believe how well the x-ice's did and i could only break the tires if i was punching the tires. i did the other same the other day and i had to baby that throttle quiet a bit more just to make it up the mountain unlike when i had the x-ice's.....idk maybe they have to be broken a bit more since i've only had them for a week so far but i'm not impressed after using the x-ices for 5 winter seasons they still have a lot of tread left even after driving them for a whole summer season last year but i like to have another set for winter since they didn't do as well in the winter after driving them through out the summer since it has something to do with the warmer weather affecting the rubber compound. i'd though this x-ice xi2's would out perform the original x-ice's. but oh well still a decent tire thou.

I purchased these tires for a 2010 Honda CR-V based upon their Consumer reports rating and have not been disappointed. I live in Western MA where the snow is heavy and weather can be fierce. The mix of the Honda AWD system and these tires has amazed me with how good these tires are. There were times last winter when I left my 4WD Jeep Cherokee in the garage because I trusted the Honda to have better traction and maneuverability. In 40 years of driving, these are the best snow tires I have owned. Note: Remember these are snow tires and should not be used in Spring or Summer when the weather is warm as the rubber compound is soft and made for cold weather only. I cannot recommend these tires highly enough for snow and ice conditions.
