Pulled the trigger on 2 sets of X-Ice Xi3s this season for our two cars. I was previously on a Hankook I*Cept EVO W310 (amazing on dry pavement/ice/hardpack, trash in deep snow) and my wife had a set of Dunlop Graspic DS-3. We now live up in the bottom part of the snowbelt (Keswick), so I'm excited to see how my new tires perform. I'll probably put them on this weekend.

Any scoring on how the Xi3 performs in the rain? I was quite convinced on the WS80 for my G35 coupe but I've heard that the Michelins last longer and are better on dry roads. Vancouver roads are wet most of the winter but when it snows it often turns into slush which is why I was hesitant in going with the Michelins with the poor reviews they got in slushy conditions.

Are my eyes painted on?  I don't see Micheline or Bridgestone.
