255/40R21 Michelin X-Ice Snow Winter
Category: Winter – Studless
The Michelin X-Ice Snow tire offers shorter ice and snow stopping distances and better hydroplaning performance than its predecessors. The new aggressive winter tread design with increased void ratio enhances snow, slush, and wet evacuation while two types of full-depth sipes create long-lasting biting edges. The X-Ice Snow tire delivers long wear life by providing tread block rigidity and optimizing contact with the road which helps the tire last up to one additional winter over the average leading competitor tire. It also has a 60,000km tread life warranty for all sizes.
3PMSF severe snow service rating indicated. XL (Extra Load) rating indicated.
