Bought granddaughter Hydroedge a year ago. She says they do well in ice and
snow, (in North Carolina), and handle well on her Honda Accord. No problems
so far.

Well I went over to Costco and got the set of Xs, I asked the guy about
other types, he said he didn't have any others in the 195/70R14. They
seem OK, its not like mama drives autocross so I am sure they will be fine.
Leaving Costco, I was waiting at an intersection to turn right onto a

I've been somewhat disappointed with the last two sets of Michelin MXV4 tires
on my '84 300D as they were rather noisy (squealing) at minimally aggressive
cornering no matter the tire pressures. I recently purchased the Kumho Solus
KR21 tires and so far I'm quite pleased though I haven't put m

About 9 months ago, I bought two of them at my local tire shop for the Volvo I
had.

I use Hydroedge in the summer and Blizzak's in the winter. Neither is
speed rated for the cars I put them on, but they drive fine.

Tire Rack has a survey of All-Season Tires at

That looks like what is happening to the X ones on there now. One has
been losing air slowly, thought it was a nail, took it off and close
inspection shows the belt on both edges starting to separate. Maybe
3/16" - 1/4" tread left, but they are dried and cracked too, so probably
fairly old.
Try the MVX4+ -- i really like them when I had them on the old 300D.
My tire shop doesn't carry Michelins, but I may go back next tire
change anyway.

I used to like the Michelin X and XZX about 25 years ago. Don't know much about
the tires that would wear that name today, other than they don't seem to be
