Michelins are not exactly a good measure of traction ,especially in
water or worse. The things last forever, but their hard compounds are
generally pretty scary on slippery surfaces. This would be even worse if
they were dried out. Michelins are bad enough on cars,, on big trucks
those things used to scare me to death.
While I have NEVER been fond of the traction or life of the MXV3/4 tires
that Mercedes supplied as OE on most of my cars, I have used 4 sets (on
3 different cars) of Michelin X-Ones and have been totally satisfied
with them in good and bad (even in snow) weather and have gotten
exceptional life (80+kmi) from each set. If they still made the tire,
they would be the next set of all season tires on the next car that
needs tires.
