The Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV 275/45R20 is a winter tire, designed for SUV, van, and light truck drivers who prioritize confident winter traction and year-round comfort in cold-weather driving. Its tread design and compound focus on ice grip, snow evacuation, and maintaining flexibility in severe cold conditions.
The tire features Michelin's FleX-Ice 2.0 compound with inclusion technology that creates micro-roughness on the tread surface for enhanced grip on both snow and ice.
