Top Features of Michelin ‘X-Ice’ Snow Tires in 2020-2021

The X-Ice line is the newest offering in the Michelin snow tire line. Engineered for nordic winters, the very latest generation of Michelin X-Ice snow tires offers the following consumer-centric features:

• Long-lasting ice performance and leadership in ice-braking. Michelin snow tires stop 2.7 meters shorter than the leading competitor, making them one of the best-in-class.
• Long-lasting performance on snow. The latest Michelin snow tires are specially engineered for a 4% increase in snow grip that lasts throughout the life of the tire.
• Improved hydroplaning and slush performance. New tread design uses a continuous V-shape, greater groove width, and two types of full-depth 3D sipes with variable thickness to provide optimal grip performance on wet roads, snow, and ice. 
• #1 in snow tire longevity. According to Michelin snow tire manufacturers’ research, the X-Ice Snow lasts up to one additional winter longer than the average leading competitor.
• Innovative rubber compound. Michelin snow tires use the Flex-Ice 2.0, a next-generation, silica-based compound designed to maintain flexibility even in severe cold-climate conditions.
• Michelin snow tire “Evergrip Technologies.” New rigid polymer-based inclusions generate “micro-roughness” on the tire surface for leadership in ice and snow grip, winter after winter.
