Tire Description

The X-Ice is Michelin's Studless Ice and Snow winter tire developed for the drivers of coupes, sedans and family vans that want a boost in winter driving confidence. X-Ice winter tires are designed to combine X-tra ice and snow traction with enhanced handling on wet and dry roads. The X-Ice molds an advanced silica-based winter tread rubber compound that remains flexible at lower temperatures into a directional tread design that helps maintain good traction on wet and slush-covered roads. It features Cross Z-Sipes Technology to increase tread and shoulder block stability to provide the lateral and longitudinal stiffness for better handling on dry and wet roads and more grip on ice- and snow-covered roads The X-Ice winter tire's combination of capabilities is made possible by Michelin's Stress Equilibrium casing that evenly distributes the contact forces across the footprint. Michelin X-Ice winter tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the snowflake-on-the-mountain symbol. NOTE: Snow platform indicators (the equivalent of "snow wear bars") are molded into the X-Ice's tread grooves to inform the driver when ice and snow traction will be reduced as the tire's tread wear reaches the point where the remaining tread depth becomes less effective in deep snow. Install X-Ice tires in sets of four only.

Customer Reviews

I purchased this tire for my 21 year old daughter's 2008 Ford Focus. These tires are mounted on 15 inch steel rims vs the factory 16 inch rims and used exclusively for winter driving. TPMS sensors are mounted in the steel wheels. This car is driven almost exclusively in mid and western Michigan in the winter months. The overall performance is excellent. The noise level is much better than the factory Pirelli's and so is the ride. Last winter I asked my daughter how the roads were after she drove back from a nearby town and her reply was "fine, why". I told her there were warnings about the icy road conditons and her reply was, "Oh, that must have been why I saw so many accidents and cars in the ditches..."
