The X-Ice SNOW is Michelin's Studless Ice & Snow winter tire developed for drivers of coupes, sedans, minivans and crossovers looking for confidence in winter's many different road conditions, throughout the life of the tire. Whether it's clear, cold winter roads; deep, heavy snow; or any icy condition in between, the X-Ice SNOW is designed to deliver reassuring wintertime traction and stability.

The FleX-Ice™ 2.0 compound of the X-Ice SNOW utilizes inclusion technology, which generates micro-roughness on the tread surface, helping improve grip both in snow and on ice. The compound also contains a high silica content that ensures the tire maintains its flexibility, even in severe climates. This advanced compound is molded into a continuous V-Shape, directional tread pattern with increased groove widths compared to its predecessor, engineered to improve hydroplaning and slush performance, as well as increase the snow-to-snow traction needed for loose conditions. The X-Ice SNOW's tread elements contain two types of full-depth sipes with complementary traction effects. Notched sipes provide numerous biting edges that help enhance traction in adverse conditions, along with variable thickness sipes that further aid traction while supporting the tread elements to maintain an efficient contact patch for control on packed snow and clear roads.

All-Weather vs. Winter Tires: The Definitive Test(12:05)

Brent and TJ set off with a couple of objectives in this, the first test of 2026. The first is to highlight the differences between two types of Grand Touring tires: all-season and all-weather. Second, to see how they stack up to dedicated winter tires. The internet is a great resource, but not all the information out there is accurate, and this test is designed to truly set the record straight.

...Wet pavement is good too...

Tires look great, dont kill my mileage, much quieter than BFG KO's, handle great on roads, dirt, general mud and snow. Wet pavement is good too. The one negative I have is the sidewall's are a bit too soft and I wish they were a little more rigid. This is the only thing that would make me consider another brand. If General fixed this issue, it would be the only tire I'd buy.

...These tires were much superior to the Wrangler's as I noticed better grip and control off-road and better handling in snow and on muddy bush roads...

Replaced Goodyear Wrangler Adventure series tires as they had aged out. These tires were much superior to the Wrangler’s as I noticed better grip and control off-road and better handling in snow and on muddy bush roads. I also pull a North Country 24 RKS trailer with no issues. I use my truck for hunting as well and have no trouble on muddy tracks and trails as long as I am smart about my limits. I run mine at 55 lbs all the time and find no reason to up the pressure even when loaded. I have about 25K on these now over 3 years of driving in city/ highway and off-road and have plenty of tread left. I will replace with the same again in 3years probably.

2nd set of Grabbers. Lower road noise than Wildpeaks.
Best traction in my experience than Wildpeaks / Toyo AT3 / Nitto Crossmax. I experienced chunking on AT3s. Side wall cracking on AT3/Wildpeaks/Crossmax. On my second set of Grabbers and they’ve been bulletproof.

I was very happy with the tires and their off-road performance as well as day to day driving smoothness.

I had a set of these tires on a 1989 Trooper, that had BFG All Terrains on it prior. I was very happy with the tires and their off-road performance as well as day to day driving smoothness. I put about 35k miles before I sold the truck. A few years later I found these in the size for my CR-V, and while it isn't an off-road machine, it does get used on some dirt/sand roads and sees some snow. I got almost 54k miles on these tires on my Honda. Overall they were great - BUT - after about 40k they started to get pretty loud, and the gas mileage was hit by about 1-1/2 mpg on the highway. I replaced them with the General Altimax RT-43 tires, which will need to be replaced this summer. I'm looking at these A/TX again, as I am driving a bit less and have a lot of dirt and gravel roads in my new locale (as well as winter snow). Overall, a great tire at a reasonable price.

...And they wear a very long time...

I have purchased these tires several times because they outperform and I can rely on the way they handle in all conditions. We have 3 jeeps and one of the Jeeps had The most aggressive tire Les Schwab had for this vehicle, and the rubber was sub par, the handling of the vehicle was subpar, it did not have the same confidence in hugging the road that these General AT Grabbers have. We put the Grabbers on this jeep too and we could really tell the difference, weird, it even drifted less, handled lots better. Trust all my vehicles because of these tires. And they wear a very long time. Recommend highly. In fact, purchasing again today for one of my Jeeps.
