Hahaha what’s different now?
Michiblows have generally all performed poorly on snow and ice. All of em, save for actual winter tires.
Not a surprise the Agilis is poor. It’s a pavement princess tire with low void ratio and little siping.
Just like the AT2 (which doesn’t have a sno flake rating for obvious reasons) and the similar previous model.
Only way I’ve gotten decent performance out of a Michiblow in the snow is to sipe them.
Even the AT2 and its previous version which is the only LT tire they offer that is remotely close to a real all terrain tire. Those AT2s did pretty good on packed snow once siped but still not aggressive enough to do squat in loose or deeper snow.
Their tires are great for fair weather travelers. As long as you use em up before they dry rot on ya.
