Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Winter weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Fuel-efficient performance; High driving comfort levels; Longer-lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV is a touring, winter tire manufactured for SUVs.Superb winter weather traction is offered with this model. The stronger compound and the detailed directional tread design enhance the tire's dry, wet, and winter weather grip. Exceptional winter traction is guaranteed with the aggressive tread design by generating extra biting edges. Durable rubber flexibility is ensured in freezing temperatures, guaranteeing its exceptional performance. Circumferential and angled lateral grooves channel water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning in wet conditions.Better traction allows the tire to effectively ease the pressure off the footprint, providing a fuel-efficient driving experience. This enables the tire to greatly decrease its rolling resistance. This is the pressure that determines the vehicle's needed fuel intake in order to keep the tires in motion. Decreasing rolling resistance manages to minimize the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This guarantees a fuel-conscious driving experience.The special directional tread design manages to maintain its consistent surface contact. This manages to improve its steering responsiveness and driving stability. The model offers better responses and accuracy to the steering instructions, while the structure is also secured against driving pressure. This guarantees the driver's consistent control over the vehicle at all times.High driving comfort levels are guaranteed as well. The directional tread design and its close road contact effectively lower road noise and vibrations. The footprint prevents sound wave formations, providing a quiet driving experience. On the other hand, the tire absorbs the shock of driving, minimizing vibrations. Their combination makes sure road disturbances do not reach the vehicle's cabin, offering an enjoyable performance.The Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV offers a lengthened tread life. The stable block placement along the directional tread design manages to evenly circulate driving pressure across the footprint. A stronger, wear-resistant compound reduces the treadwear rate as well. The reduced and even wear enable the tire to significantly increase its overall usability. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
