Had these on my vehicle for 15k miles and they have been awful. I just replaced them with Firestone Destination LE2. Wow, what an improvement. I do not recommend these Continentals to anyone. The ride is harsh and you feel everything on the road and not in a good way.

These were the OEM tires that came on my '09 Maxima SV. I've seen some negative comments about that, but in my experience they perform well. The Maxima is the best cornering/handling care I've had by far, and the tires seem fine to me. Wet traction seems good to me as well. Haven't driven much in snow and ice, but let's be honest, if it's snowing I'm leaving my Maxima home and taking my Dodge Ram out. I bought my Maxima used and have driven on these tires for 1-1/2 years. They seem like a good tire to me. I have just over 50K on it, and they're still a bit above the indicator. I'm trying to decide now whether to get another set or go with something a little better reviewed as a performance tire.

I purchased these tires to replace the Michelin Latitude tires on my 2011 Nissan Armada SL 4x4. The tire shop initially refused to put them on the car, saying that the speed and sidewall rating were less than the OEM. I confirmed through several web sites, my Nissan dealership, and Michelin that these tires are appropriate for my Armada.

So far, I love these tires. Even my wife, who doesn't know anything about cars, commented that it feels like she is in 4 wheel drive when using them. They performed great in a 5 inch snowfall earlier in the month. They are very quiet and ride very smooth. I have owned these tires before (on my Toyota Sequoia). While expensive at about $1200 for 4 tires, the quality and tread life are worth it.

Best SUV tire I have ever purchased. Stable, excellent in the wet (no snow yet), comfortable ride and almost eerily quiet. Gas mileage has improved app. 1 mpg - around 18 mpg overall - up from 17 with previous Bridgestones. GREAT TIRE!

For the first 1000 miles you'll question your decision to buy. After that they'll quiet down and soften up nicely. The thing you'll notice the most is how fast they stop your car.

Got a good deal on these tires and they have exceded expectations. Dry traction is great, noise level is great. Wet traction is above average. They respond great when needed and you for what you got in everyday driving with since they do their job so well.

My wife is amazed at what an improvement these Michelin MXV4's make compared to the OE Continental ContiPro Contact tires, which we thought were very good. The traction is improved in wet and dry conditions, and the ride is magically smooth. Much better than the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus I paid a lot more for. Caveat: the comparison is a little unfair, since those are on a stiffer-sprung Nissan Maxima with slightly lower-profile size, 225/50R17. But now I know why the MXV4's are rated highly by the "major consumer magazine" - they are clearly superior. Puzzling why TireRack's comparative ratings don't bear that out so clearly - maybe it depends on what you're used to, and Michelin buyers tend to be repeat customers, so they take it for granted?

I just hit 75k on these tires and will be purchasing my 2nd set. Quiet & great traction. i live in central NY and have driven on these tires all season without putting any snows on and have been fine. (although we have had mild winters the last couple of years)

The OEM tires worn out at 33,000 miles which is utterly shameful. I've only driven this set of Kumho tires for about a 1000 miles but the car is definitely handling snow in northeast like a champ. It now cuts across 6-8 inches of snow with ease. Wet traction is also excellent assuming no excessive speeding. These tires have been very quiet at all speed so far. The only knock against these tire would be losing 2-3 MPG when compared against my original low rolling resistance tires. But overall I gladly take the trade off with increased wet/dry traction, quietness, and longer tread wear for the MPG loss.

Only 2,000 miles on these tires but I can say that the winer traction is as good and maybe better than the Michelin LTX M/S that were on previously. They are definately quieter and smoother than the Michelins and $300 cheaper! A great tire so far.

I am still very impressed with the tire wear and performance that these tires are providing. With 25000 miles on the tires the tread still looks new! I will definately purchase another set of these when needed! Thanks for such a great tire. Really wish you would send me a hat also! I have given such a strong review because I have not found a single complaint

I love the tire, but I'm disappointed on the mileage. Not sure what what type of warranty service I'll get. I was only able to get 27,000 miles on a 40 k tire.

Not a bad tire just too expensive for what it is - needs improvement on hydroplaning which is not super terrible but is not great either ,tread wear is ok i guess - just did about 8000 miles and i dont see any wear yet

Good tires, miner drop occurs due to bad balancing on the outer side, while in the middle and inner side is still fine. Usually the climate is hot and moderate. I never used it off-road, but it is used in all the city and in highway. reliable and reasonable cost compared with other companies. I will buy it again.

I live in Ottawa, Canada where the average snowfall is measured in yards rather than inches. We have had freezing rain storms given the global warming and the Michelin X-i13 tires performed almost flawlessly in every situation. Their only weakness in my opinion is the softer sidewall designed and used for comfort rather than for immediate response on my Infiniti G37x sedan. It is a most worthy compromise because there is always secure traction and spirited driving is only done with controlled and very predictible power sliding. While this is not my ususal style of driving especially on congested streets, the tires always offered exceptional traction, control and feedback.
The best return on using these tires was during heavy snow and ice storms. Their comfort and positive traction only reinforced my confidence and security on the roads. This was very noticeable when arriving at stop signs and the glazed ice from other cars and trucks without proper and sensitive brake pressure. The X-i13 always provided greater traction during those stops and never with the worries of drifting into a busy intersection.
I greatly support and highly recommend these tires for any and every car driven in varying winter conditions and temperatures. The control and comfort are simply exceptional and a great improvement on my previous Michelin X-i12 and Blizzak tires used on my Nissan Maxima.
These are the best all-round winter tires on the market today.

I've been very pleased with these tires and feel that they are a great value. I liked them so much that I also put them on my 99 Miata.

Factory tires on this vehicle: they are horrible for street use. If you run around on fire roads, they might be fine. I have seen some sorry-------- tires in my time, and some great ones. I simply ask the tire to perform, and forgive poor tread life. These rank right at the bottom for me: tread life is fine, but useless for traction.

Initial Review
I Had Bridgestones Duelers that came OEM on this vehicle when i bought it at Las Vegas. We live there for a year and we decided that it is better for us to raise our kids in MA. For the first three season, the Dueler are liveable. When is didnt snow that much last year, I didnt have a problem with traction. A week ago there was a small snow storm that dumped 3-5 inches in our area. As i was driving with my family the car slipped sideways as i turned the corner slowly. I realized that something was wrong. I went to NTB prior to that to have a slow leak fixed and the guy told me that the tires that i had doesnt have enough space to have traction in snow. True enough the Duelers tread are too narrow and zig zagged. That made me into research mode. I was thinking of Continentals at first but went with the LE2. I had bought a set and had it installed at a Firestone Complete care branch. They also highly recommend it. Had it slapped on last friday before the Big Blizzard that dumped around 30-40 inches of snow. So what a relief that i was able to get new set of tires. As the installation had been going on, the snow started to fall. I though that was a good time to test the capabilities of this tires. The moment i drove the car to the streets i already noticed a difference in traction and handling. I was at a regular street and the traction was increased and the cornering was 50-70% more stable than the dueler. Even my wife noticed the difference from the back seat. I exited to try it in the highways and was able to notie that grip on the road are by far going to increase your confidence in your vehicle. I nbever thought Murano would be so much fun to drive on a pre storm surface (snow/rain mix). I arrived home and spent the whole night inside while the blizzard ravaged through the state. The morning after it was time to play, I went out and test this Tires in the Snow. By far the best Tire traction in snow coupled with AWD makes this winter driving FUN

these tires are great... I mostly drive in the city, we have had some deep snow light snow and ice. is Tire performs well in all of them, however I did not stud them so I do not know how well the studded ones are in ice, but these preform quite well unstudded in slick conditions. they also really tear into the snow in deep conditions. great for a FWD car.... will buy again
