New Tread Design & Rubber Compound

- Increased groove width for slush and snow evacuation
- Two types of full tire depth variable thickness sipes, 3D sipes for an increased claw effect on snow and ice and long lasting biting edges; 3D active notched sipes engineered to deliver superior traction and stable handling - full depth sipes that will last until the end of the tire’s life!
- Innovative compound - Flex-Ice 2.0, next generation full silica based rubber designed to maintain flexibility in severe cold climate conditions

I have been using the last generation of Michelin X-Ice Snow tires and they have given me a great deal of confidence while driving on fully snow covered 400 series roads at the posted speed limit. I can imagine that the improved Michelin X-Ice Snow tires will provide drivers even more safety and peace of mind while driving in similar conditions.
Until next time!
