    Michelin X-Ice tires

    I was wondering if you could use these tires as regular tires as well? Like after the snow season is over...
    Would they be comparable to like General UHP tires at all in dry wheater?
    Thanks!

    You should not use them as regular tires, after the snow season is over you should change them back to what you were running before. snow tires wear out extremely fast in warm weather and aren't designed to handle the heat of summer use.

    Hey man, I'm a professional!

    Sure you can use them as all-seasons. They will wear out after 1 summer season, just like any snow tire on dry pavement. Also they will get greasy and with the softer sidewall they will suck to drive on/corner long-term.
