Michelin X-Ice Snow 215/55 R17 98H

The Michelin X-Ice Snow friction tyre can easily compete with the studded tyres for performance on ice and snow. This is what attracts the attention of a wide audience of car owners.

Two types of slats

The tyre received a V-shaped tread pattern with an increased width of drainage channels. Tyre tread blocks are studded with two types of sipes: U-shaped slots retain the necessary rigidity of the block when manoeuvring for the sake of sensitive handling, and lamellas of variable thickness effectively remove the water film on the ice surface and provide a “sticking effect” on snow. Also, polymers with microcavities in the composition of the Flex-Ice rubber compound adsorb the water film on ice.

Stability is a sign of excellence

As the tyre wears out, it does not lose driving properties — even with a residual tread depth of about 4 mm, it continues to perform its functions properly, shows high efficiency in the transmission of traction and braking forces and quickly removes water from the contact patch. The shape of the blocks and drainage channels of the tread remains practically unchanged up to the minimum allowable wear limit of the tread.

The flagship of the tyre industry

In addition , the model deserves special praise for its high fuel efficiency, comfort and quiet running. The combination of qualities Michelin X-Ice Snow is one of the best offers in the category of flagships of the tyre industry, created with an eye on changeable driving conditions on winter roads.
