Details for Michelin® X-Ice Snow | Eilertson Repair Northwood, IA

The MICHELINÂ® X-IceÂ® 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.*

The MICHELINÂ® X-IceÂ® SNOW tire offers better hydroplaning performance than its predecessors.** 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 MICHELINÂ® X-IceÂ® SNOW tire lasts up to one additional winter than the average of leading competitors.*** 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.

*New, at 10,000 km, and when worn to 4 mm and 2 mm tread depth, the MICHELINÂ® X-IceÂ® SNOW tire offers shorter snow and ice stopping distances on average than its predecessor, based on third-party snow braking test (between 35 km/h and 5 km/h) and ice braking test (between 30 km/h and 5 km/h), in December 2019 and January 2020: (1) on a VolkswagenÂ® Golf 1.5 TSI comparing the MICHELINÂ® X-IceÂ® SNOW tire versus MICHELINÂ® X-ICEÂ® Xi3 in tire size 205/55R16 94H XL, and (2) on a VolkswagenÂ® Tiguan comparing the MICHELINÂ® X-IceÂ® SNOW SUV tire versus MICHELINÂ® LatitudeÂ® X-ICEÂ® Xi2 in tire size 235/55R19 105H XL.

**Based on: (1) internal hydroplaning longitudinal acceleration test performed in France in March 2019, on a VolkswagenÂ® Golf 7 comparing the MICHELINÂ® X-IceÂ® SNOW tire versus MICHELINÂ® X-ICEÂ® Xi3 in tire size 205/55R16 94H XL and on: (2) internal hydroplaning curve test performed in Japan in February 2019, on an AUDIÂ® A4, comparing the MICHELINÂ® X-IceÂ® SNOW tire versus MICHELINÂ® X-ICEÂ® Xi3 in tire size 205/55R16 94H XL.

***Based on third-party longevity tests, in North Finland between October 2019 and January 2020, on a VolkswagenÂ® Golf 1.5 TSI comparing the MICHELINÂ® X-IceÂ® SNOW tire versus BRIDGESTONEÂ® Blizzak WS-90, CONTINENTALÂ® Viking Contact 7, NOKIANÂ® Hakkappeliitta R3, GOODYEARÂ® UltraGrip Ice 2, PirelliÂ® Ice Zero FR in tire size 205/55R16 94H XL. 12,000 kilometres driven per winter is estimated from annual average kilometres driven in Canada per vehicle by Desrosiers Automotive Consultants. A winter season is defined as six months.
