Last week I got a new set of tires for my car as well, the Michelin X-Ice Snow tires that I wanted couldn’t be found after ordering them 2 weeks earlier so I settled for a set of Continental IceContact XTRM.  I thought I was getting the VikingContact series (should have asked) but whatever, much better than a set of all seasons and it’s not like the RX is a performance car as long as it grips on snow and ice in the winter I’m happy.

I usually buy Michelin tires, mainly because that’s what I’ve always gotten so I’m quite interested in seeing how these perform.
