Michelin XWX
The Bottom Line
The Michelin XWX is ideal for drivers seeking top-tier dry grip and handling precision in a max performance summer tire. However, its low treadwear rating means you'll be replacing these more often than competitors like the Bridgestone Potenza S007 A.
Important Note
The treadwear rating of 100 means frequent replacements, increasing long-term costs compared to rivals with higher ratings.
Pros
- Dry grip score of 9 ensures excellent traction on hot, dry pavement, making it a strong performer for spirited driving.
- Handling score of 9 provides precise and responsive steering, ideal for those who enjoy dynamic driving experiences.
Cons
- Wet grip score of 7 may not be as reassuring in heavy rain compared to some competitors in the max performance summer category.
- Treadwear rating of 100 suggests a shorter lifespan, which is significantly lower than the category average of 302.
- Comfort score of 6 indicates a firmer ride, which might not be ideal for daily commuting or long-distance travel.
