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 longevity
• 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 agressive winter tread design with increased void ratio and V-shaped tread pattern provides increased resistance to aquaplaning and enhanced snow, slush, and water evacuation.
• The MICHELIN^® X-Ice^® SNOW tire lasts up to one additional winter than the average of leading competitors.^{****Footnote Six} The tread design with interlocking 3D sipes combined with the Flex-IceTM 2.0 tread compound 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.
