Michelin X-Ice Xi3 Tires
The Michelin X-Ice Xi3 is a performance, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. It has some touring sizes too. The Flex-Ice compound and the tread’s Cross Z Sipes enhance the tire’s grip when driving on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces, in colder temperatures. The sipes offer additional biting edges to grip the road, while the compound keeps its rubber flexibility. The optimal groove pattern avoids hydroplaning.
The tire’s better traction, provided by the Flex-Ice compound, eases the driving pressure off the tire, reducing the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the driving pressure affecting the tire which determines the vehicle’s needed fuel intake. In this manner, the model greatly reduces the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emission, offering a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience throughout the tire’s lifetime.
The Michelin X-Ice Xi3 utilizes the Total Performance technology to enhance the controllability and performing capability. This enables the tire to enhance the high speed steering responsiveness and driving stability, ensuring the driver’s full control over the vehicle at all times. The strengthened internal structure improves the driving durability. It maintains the ideal tire shape under the pressure affecting the model, guaranteeing a safer high speed performance. The MaxTouch Construction’s maintained surface contact upgrades the tread life. It enlarge the contact patch and evenly distributes the driving pressure, avoiding irregular tread wear formations on the tire’s surface and lengthening the tread life.
- SeasonThe tread’s Cross Z Sipes and the Flex-Ice compound increase the ice and snow, winter weather traction and avoid hydroplaning.
- Fuel efficiencyThe Flex-Ice silica compound significantly decreases the rolling resistance and, with it, the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emission.
- ControllabilityThe high speed steering responsiveness and driving stability are the result of the Total Performance technology and the stronger structure.
