Product Detail

A winter tire designed for maximum mobility and safety – not just when it’s new, but for seasons to come.

Tire Benefits

• Winter grip made to last
• Highest performing tire in snow traction^{*Footnote One}
• Improved hydroplaning and slush performance^{**Footnote Two}
• Excellence in longetivity
• Designed for a quiet ride

Tire Features

• The MICHELIN^® X-Ice^® Snow tire offers shorter ice and snow stopping distances thanks to the exceptional grip provided by having two types of full-depth 3D sipes for an increased claw effect on snow and ice and for long-lasting biting edges.^{*Footnote Three}
• The MICHELIN^® X-Ice^® Snow tire provides more snow traction performance than competitors.^{**Footnote Four} The innovative Evergrip Technology and the multiple biting edges of the 3D interlocking sipes provide superior traction on snowy surfaces.
• The MICHELIN^® X-Ice^® Snow tire offers better hydroplaning performance than its predecessors.^{***Footnote Five} The new agressive winter tread design with increased void ratio and V-shaped tread pattern provides increased resistance to aquaplaning and enhanced snow, slush, and wet evacuation.
• The MICHELIN^® X-Ice^® Snow tire lasts up to one additional winter than the average of leading competitors.^{****Footnote Six} The new tread design with interlocking 3D sipes combined with an innovative Evergrip Technology delivers long wear life by providing tread block rigidity and optimizing the tires's contact with the road surface during acceleration, braking and cornering
• The MICHELIN^® X-Ice^® SNOW tires are developed with Piano Acoustic Tuning for minimum tread pattern noise and maximum vehicle cabin comfort.
