About This Tire

The Michelin X-Ice Snow 235/45R18 is a winter tire, designed for coupe, sedan, minivan and crossover drivers who prioritize confidence and traction in winter's varied road conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on ice grip, snow traction, and maintaining flexibility in severe cold temperatures.

The tire features Michelin's FleX-Ice 2.0 compound with inclusion technology that creates micro-roughness on the tread surface for improved grip on both snow and ice, while high silica content keeps the rubber flexible even in extreme cold. The continuous V-shaped directional tread pattern includes increased groove widths compared to previous generations, engineered to enhance hydroplaning resistance and slush performance while maximizing snow-to-snow contact for loose conditions. Driver feedback points to strong performance across wet and dry winter roads, with comfort and reliable traction standing out throughout the tire's lifespan.

Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum winter traction and ice performance over year-round versatility. Overall, it's a solid choice for passenger vehicles used primarily for winter driving in regions with snow, ice, and cold temperatures.
