Michelin X-Ice Xi3 185/65R15 92 T Tire Fits: 2004-08 Toyota Prius Base, 2003-08 Toyota Corolla CE

I put more miles on than the average person; I probably average 40,000 miles a year. I admit favoring Michelin tires for their ride comfort, and durability. I may pay more up front, but in the end, I come out ahead. Living in Minnesota, I mostly drive my 4x4 (2002 Silverado Z71) in the winter and my front wheel drive car (2005 Buick Lacrosse CXS) in the summer. Both have always had Michelins best all season tires. This year, I finally decided to invest in actual snow tires, namely the Michelin X-Ice Xi3's for my front wheel drive car. My two main reasons were curiosity (do they really work that much better than Michelins best all seasons), and to see if I could use my car more, and truck less during the challenging winter weather, AND to save on fuel costs by not driving the 4x4 as much. So far, I have only used my 4x4 once this winter, and that is because I needed to haul some cargo – the old girl is getting lonely ☺ I'm a believer in the Michelin X-Ice tires. – I will be using these in the winter from now on. Thanks Michelin!

This is the second set of X-Ice tires I've purchased, mainly because of the way they perform, which gives me peace of mind when driving in bad winter conditions. I put a lot of kilometers on my vehicle, and it's important to me to have good tires. My X-ice winter tires have consistently performed well, particularly during a recent ice storm.
