Traction, handling and comfort

Comments about Latitude X-Ice XI2:

Use on 2010 VW Jetta Wagon TDI. Bought tires to improve winter traction on this FWD vehicle (as I spent 20 years with AWD). These were worth the money in terms of performance. Grips the road well in snow, slush, ice and rain while remaining quiet and comfortable on dry pavement. Very nice combination of characteristics in a winter tire.

As I was about to have them removed for replacement with my all-seasons for summer, I noticed splits have developed in the outside of the tread (or bottom of sidewall). Tires were purchased in Nov 2011 and have been maintained and stored properly. I have TPMS and tires have been rotated every 5000 miles, balanced as required. If I had hit a curb hard, I would accept blame for the issue but all four tires exhibit splits. I am making a warranty claim for exchange.

Other than the large cracks (1 or 2 per tire) issue, I've been very pleased and I'm hopeful that Michelin will be able to ID what's happened with this set of tires. I am going to get the Primacy MXM4 next as the reviews are very promising.

Do They Really Work?

Comments about Latitude X-Ice XI2:

Yes, they really work. I own a 2012 Honda Odyssey. I had these tires mounted on our family minivan (front wheel drive only). I was afraid that I should have gone with an AWD minivan for better traction. I was wrong...a front wheel drive vehicle with these tires is more than enough. My wife and I were amazed at how well these worked. It was nearly impossible to break traction (even with the traction control turned off). I would recommed these tires to anyone who commutes/drives on winter highways. We used them in a variety of conditions: 2" of slush, ice, 5" of powder, and snow packed roads. They kept us safe! This same winter I almost lost my 4X4 truck with Toyo tires on the same roads I was driving my van. Thanks Michelin Man! I will only mount Michelin's on my vehicles. I want the best protection/chances for my family.

I really feel good having the tires in the winter.
my car feels planted to the cold asphalt.
Your car will handle differently. But the traction is worth it. Braking requires more brake pedal effort though.

The sizes and/or speed ratings listed may vary slightly from the specified OE size shown on the vehicle placard. Your local Tire Dealer, as a trained professional, will provide the required assistance to install the tire listed by: 1. Notifying the owner if the replacement tires are different in speed rating than the OE tires and the maximum speed capability of the vehicle is limited to the lower speed rated tires. 2. Determine if any inflation pressure adjustments are necessary with the alternate listed size.

* Passenger sizes used in Light Truck/SUV applications have reduced load capacity. This will differ from the maximum load branded on the tire sidewall.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local Michelin tire dealer for pricing near you.

Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to winter tires.

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

XL = Extra Load
DIR = Directional

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim
Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

T-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118
Inflation Increase (psi) 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0
Load Capacity (% of max.) 100 100 100 100

H-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118 124 130
Inflation Increase (psi) 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0
Load Capacity (% of max.) 100 100 100 100 100 100
