Except for the POS Continentals I have now, I have always run Michies. I
have always found that they do well in all weather conditions. Even ice
and snow. Someone mentioned the other day that XZX's were too hard to be
effective in the snow. I don't dispute their conclusions, just was not my
experience. I am going back to Michies as soon as I need new tires (Prob
this winter)
