Michelin Tires X-Ice Snow 245/45R17 99H XL BSW

Extreme weather can be challenging for any tire. Luckily, specialized tires are designed specifically to handle these extreme conditions, such as the Michelin X-Ice Snow. An improvement on Michelin's previous snow tire class, the X-Ice Snow does a far better job on powdery surfaces. The new compound and tread design gives it a superior grip on those powdery snow conditions and allows it to retain traction even though its surroundings may not be consolidated. No matter how powdery the snow, the tire still has quite a bite on the surface. The V-shaped tread pattern is unique as far as Michelin's snow tires are concerned. It serves as both a method for removing slush and water from the front of the tire and providing outstanding traction on those icy and snowy road surfaces. The Cross-Z sipe design locks sipes in place using a proprietary methodology that allows for better grip in cold conditions. If you have to be dealing with a lot of ice and snow, you could hardly find a better option than the X-Ice Snow.
