I would say it depends on where you live. I live in Colorado and we've already had several large snow storms this year so we're going with the Blizzaks. We had a minivan before the Expedition and ran the Blizzaks on it, also. They seem to me to be a little more aggressive, but that's what we need where we live. If you live somewhere that doesn't get a lot of snow, maybe the X-ice would be better for you. Also it looks like the Michelin's load rating is 113, where the DMv2's are 117, not that it matters that much since both would be good enough. You may, also, get a little more wear out of the Michelin's.
Thanks for the input. I live in California and am planning a trip to Oregon (Bend) and also to Tahoe now and again. Based on your feedback, it is sounding like the Michelin’s may be fine.
Will leaving the Michelin tires on in the California weather thru Feb/Mar be too harsh on the winter tires? I hear winter tires may wear down quickly when used in warmer weather but I also do not want to keep swapping them on/off thru the season...I was planning to use the same wheels and swap the tires...
