💡 Is the Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV 245/45R20 a Good Tire?
The Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV 245/45R20 is a winter studless ice and snow tire designed for full-size SUVs and light trucks. It delivers strong snow and ice traction with reliable wet performance thanks to its directional V-shaped tread pattern and advanced winter compound technology. Ride comfort is good for a winter tire with controlled road noise, though tread life is shorter than all-season alternatives due to the softer winter compound. Rated Excellent by TireRack based on 265 consumer surveys, it excels in cold weather conditions but requires seasonal changeover and storage when temperatures consistently exceed 45°F. Currently priced from $303.94, it is available through major online tire retailers.

The Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV 245/45R20 is a winter tire, designed for SUV, van, and light-duty pickup drivers who prioritize confident traction and stability in winter conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on maintaining grip across varied winter surfaces, from clear cold roads to deep snow and ice.
The tire features Michelin's FleX-Ice 2.0 compound with inclusion technology that creates micro-roughness on the tread surface for improved snow and ice grip. The high silica content keeps the compound flexible in severe cold, while the continuous V-shaped directional tread pattern offers increased groove widths compared to previous versions for better hydroplaning resistance and slush performance. Driver feedback points to strong wet and dry performance even in winter conditions, with comfort and predictable handling being notable strengths.
