Im considering Michelin X-Ice tires for this winter. Anyone have these on their GS? I have narrowed it down to these or the blizzak w60's but the X-Ice's are better on road noise reviews say.....

Any input is welcome. Thank you in advance.

 

I am looking for the same input. I am going nuts trying to decide on this. Please help.

 

I've owned both tires over the last several years and they're nearly equivalent in terms of winter traction. Now, I had Blizzaks on my lexus and my yukon and X-ices on my subaru. What you've heard is essentially correct. The Blizzaks get louder and do so faster than the X-ices. Of course, i should have put the X-ices on the lexus since Subaru are prone to road noise in the first place.....live and learn

 

I got myself Blizzaks WS60's, cant really say much about them yet. I've only heard and read some good reviews, I guess we will see when winter comes

 

Look at Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3's. They got really good reviews. I think ive decided to go with the Pilots. They are a little more pricey but might be worth it. Now I hope I can find them so I dont have to order them.

 

mann its like 90 out here in FL...

 

Yes I am jealous! of that 90 degree weather, but if I was in FL I wouldnt have a AWD GS =)

 

I'll be in Miami next week. Weather is Chicago sucks big time.

Now, back to the topic...

What do you guys think about Hankook ICEBEAR W300?

 

I have these and Im in Chicago. Great tire, quiet, and handles when the roads are dry. I am lowered also and had no issues with traction or any wear problems. I have them on the OEM 18" rims. This will be my 2nd season with them.
