X-ice4 has of smaller size, but abnormally high stud count per tire. But i guess there might be changes on compound/thread pattern aswell. Whell, whatever main reason is, if russian winter drift experiences count (very popular sport there with like 70-100 participants per stage), xin4 is current leader that dethroned previous one (hakka8) among road legal studded tires.
Take note, that there is big difference between studded & studdless ones. So it's not given for studless Xi4 to become leader as easy as XiN4, which largely won by that many studs .. still, that makes me wait with interest for upcoming tests of new michelin offering
