Tire HighlightsBack to Top

A combination of 4 key features improves MICHELIN® X-Ice® Xi3™ overall winter performance even in some of the harshest winter conditions.

Increased number of tread blocks provides 15% more biting edge and improves performance on ice and in snow.

Micropumps absorb water from the surface and evacuate it by centrifugal force for improved tread contact with the road surface.

Cross Z Sipes™. Sipes are tridimensional to improve rigidity , enable stable handling and improve traction on ice and in snow.

The Flex-Ice™ compound. This full-silica compound maintains flexibility at lower temperatures, improving performance on ice and in snow. It also maintains firmness at moderate temperatures, improving wear and grip.

Excellent for Long Distance Commuting

Comments about X-Ice Xi3:

I drive 230 KMs every day, and in all varieties of winter weather. I have driven on high-end competitor tires previously, and was introduced to the Michelin X-Ice by a dealer who recommended them for my driving needs when it came time to replace. As a result, I am sold, and will definitely buy these again. I found that the Michelins do not wear nearly as fast as the competitive offerings, and seem more quiet, yet offer great performance in the worst of weather. They come into their own in freezing rain, heavy snow, or packed ice conditions. Dry weather handling is very good. I have since purchased them for my daughter's car, and will be putting them on my wife's car next winter.

I just traded my 2010 Toyota Corolla XRS...Purchased the Ice tires....LOVE ,Love,love them. Calgary had alot of snow,and these tires never let me down. BRAVO!!!

My question is......My new vehicle is a 2013 Scion Tc sport, 6 speed,manual transmission,with 18 inch rims.....What type,model of Michelin should I be looking for now,since my last tires were 17 inch rims.

Do you have any incentives here? My total trust is in your product. Thanks Gail
