Michelin X-Ice Xi3 185/55R16 87 H Tire

Consumer Reports is correct, these are the #1 winter tires. I have now bought and installed 6 sets of these on 6 family vehicles over the last 10 years, and i live in Northern/central British Columbia and I ski so they get lots of challenges on snowy and icy roads. I would not allol my daughters to drive their cars in the winter without XICE tires. The tread pattern does not look like a winter tire but it sure works.

Here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, we get a lot of snow and melts. It's like a winter to spring transition along the whole winter. We bought After buying a Subaru, we decided to equip it with this tire. The Subaru was already good in the snow, and with these tires, it feels extremely safe. I've taken our Subaru into the rocky mountain many times and sometimes even in snow storm. So far, I've felt secure with this tire under any reasonable conditions. There was one time where the snowfall was so heavy that as I brake, the snow pile up right in front of my car I begin to slide. I have to turn to the curb to avoid an accident.
