Michelin
The French manufacturer has revised and corrected one of the most apparent defects of its previous generation X-Ice tires. Today, it's called X-Ice Snow and I put it to the test on my front-wheel drive Lincoln MKZ. Last winter, which was more snowy than icy, allowed me to confirm that the X-Ice Snow meets our Canadian requirements very well, especially in terms of grip.
By the way, there is a studded version of these tires, the X-Ice North, specifically designed for our winters. It has a maple leaf logo on its sidewall.
For owners of performance cars, Michelin still offers Alpin tires specifically designed for this purpose. Finally, if you're looking for affordable winter tires with less elaborate specifications, check out the BF Goodrich and Uniroyal catalogs that are part of the Michelin family.
