Description of Car tires Michelin X-Ice Snow 195/60 R15 92H XL TL
MICHELIN X-ICE SNOW winter safety and mobility despite wear The Michelin X-Ice Snow is a new generation of winter tire technology that promises mobility and safety for passenger cars in the harshest climates. The manufacturer notes that the development and testing of prototypes of the model took place in Northern Europe, so it takes into account all possible weather conditions for extreme winter driving. The Michelin X-Ice Snow winter tire is suitable for 85% of modern passenger cars. The model is offered in more than 120 sizes for wheels with a diameter of 14 to 22 inches. It is positioned by the manufacturer as a replacement for the X-ice Xi3, differing from it in a completely redesigned design and new materials. This provides it with a significant superiority, both over its predecessor and similar tires of the world''s leading brands. New tread design The key external difference between this model and its predecessor is the design of the tread pattern. Having retained the V-shaped arrangement of elements, it is characterized by their smaller size, modified shape and increased numbers. This made it possible to significantly improve directional stability and traction and braking properties on snow-covered surfaces. The increased capacity and the more acute angle of the sipes allow the tire to effectively deal with both hydroplaning and slashplaning. Updated slats Another significant innovation is the use of two types of slats. All slots have a "three-dimensional" profile of vertical sipes, thanks to which they retain the rigidity of the blocks, improving handling and stability of traction on cleared asphalt from snow and ice. Due to the ability to be rigidly fixed in the open position, the number of slots has been increased. At the same time, the variable thickness of the slots in the central part allows the tire to better cling to the icy surface covered with a water film. U-shaped lamellas located in the shoulder areas improve handling and traction on slippery surfaces when maneuvering. They are fully preserved even with heavy wear of the running part of the tread. This is due to the increased depth of cut of the sipes, which is a "proprietary" feature of the French brand tires, which distinguishes it from the vast majority of similar tires from other manufacturers. Advanced Compound The tread uses the 2nd iteration of the Flex-Ice compound. It is distinguished from the previous compound by the use of more modern polymers. They significantly improve the tread resistance to abrasion, elasticity at low temperatures, and prevent the destruction of the tread when overheated. The presence of a porous structure of the compound also follows. This solution allows you to additionally dry the contact patch, improving grip on packed snow and ice. Main...

Pros
- Very quiet. The tire was produced in 2022, making it the new model for the manufacturer; it has a sturdy sidewall, and its rolling resistance is classified as class C. It performed well during the snowfall in November, it maintains a trajectory that is easy to forecast, and it almost never reacts to the rutting that occurs every day on the Hong Kong Ring Road in the stretch that goes from Volokolamka to Rublyovka). My manufacturing is currently taking place in Poland.
Cons
- There are very few shops that carry my size (235/55 R19).
Pros
- Rated 6+ out of 5. IMPORTANT PRODUCTION MADE IN GERMANY. I explain that I am a taxi driver in the Hero City of Leningrad for about 5 years I managed to ride on different cars and a dozen different tires. The car is a comfort (C) class, last two winters I rode a Velcro bridge in 95 percent of cases (B-C) class first. On this rubber for 3 months in 100 percent, just no chance. machine specially weighted music and almost complete Shumkov. From the traffic lights I roll the first 5-7 meters with the stabilization turned off approximately, and then the gas to the floor on the automatic box and you know that the stabilization does not even think to blink)). Half of the taxi city is already in shock))) + as a tire fitter, I’ll say the following that the manufacturer says there is no difference where the rubber is made, I can’t say from personal experience yet, but according to the reviews of several dozen people I personally changed, I’ll say the following about Michelin summer tires that they go (CIVIL, NOT SPORT) 70- 100 k. killometrov and dalle just think about selling on ebay for afterburning or temporary dokat. Specifically, mine passed in this radius and in the size of 16+ thousand of them, 1.5-2 thousand with axle box gas to the floor from a stop, I’ll burn the clutch faster than the drive front wheels, I’ve erased 30-40 percent by eye no more. The lipuha revo bridge in the first version in my mode ended almost to zero and went to scrap at 20-25 thousand, well, the hook feels like 20 percent less. It is very important to set the correct pressure according to the passport 2.2 in front, back 2.3 if empty, but the hook is very important to me, so I lowered it by - 0.1. Light forging does not spoil the inertial properties specifically with this cutting. in heavy snow I lower it to -0.2. I also noticed an interesting point that struck me a lot and pleased me at the same time that during critical sharp braking from 100 to the floor, when the abs is activated, the braking distance seems to increase, it's unthinkable, but it feels like that. And yes, the ABS works at the very last moment. The grip is almost like in summer, except for pure ice and a sharp drop from + weather to -.
Cons
- There are no shortcomings, it balances on 13-year-old forging almost perfectly, except for one slightly crooked disk. The price is higher than all competitors, but I am ready to overpay within 15 1-2-3 k for these excellent characteristics, because it is worth it by 250%. In the summer I will experiment with summer bears on the leading front, two ecos will hang out at the back and maybe save something. (eco is very afraid of aquaplaning, especially in a track of 80-90 km per hour. Oh, and one more thing, riding on rails is simply amazing, I feel like a tram))) on it, this trick can be done with 110% confidence, like a train rides on rails. The focus works a couple of tens of kilometers without a single demolition at all, if the rails are even from the word COMPLETELY.
