265/45R21 Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV Winter
Category: Truck/SUV Winter – Studless
The Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV is a studless light truck and SUV tire that 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 SUV 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 supports higher inflation pressure and carrying capacity than standard load tires.
What these tire specs mean
- Load Index 108 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 1000 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
- Speed Rating T indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 190 km/h under proper load and inflation.
- Winter tires are built for cold weather traction and carry 3PMS for severe snow service.
- XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
- EV Compatible means the tire is marked as suitable for electric vehicles, where load, torque, rolling resistance, and noise can matter more.
- 3PMS is the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, confirming the tire meets recognized severe snow traction performance standards.
- Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
- Warranty coverage is manufacturer backed and depends on normal use, proper maintenance, rotation, inflation, and alignment conditions.
