So I had a full season with the Xi3. It is definitely one of the best winter tires I have ever had. stopping power was beyond awesome, on black ice no less. The area I used to live in has a hill that ices over in the winter, and of course, it was particularly bad this year as the entire hill was iced over. Only the most brave and best equip would challenge the hill. I would say out of 10 cars, you will get 1 that will attempt it. With the Xi3, I had no issues going up the hill and coming down. No issues stopping on the hill going down at 40km/h either (had to avoid cars that spun out).
Definitely recommend the Xi3.
