Keep up the pace safely this winter with the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 tire. Designed with Michelin’s premier technology, this tire delivers optimum cold-weather protection while maintaining high-speed excellence, so you can stay secure and still enjoy your ride. With a tread crafted to ensure excellent traction and enhanced cornering and braking performance, the X-Ice Xi3 will keep you moving, despite the ice and snow.
Benefits of Michelin:
● Built to take on ice and snow Longer.
3rd generation winter grip technology. Stops up to 10% shorter on ice and lasts up to two times longer than leading competitors.
● Lasting winter performance.
MaxTouch Construction™ features a unique contact patch shape that evenly distributes the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering--maximizing wear life.
● High Speed ready.
The unique bottom shape of the vertical sipes are what we call "teardrop," as they control the shear stress that reinforces the tread block robustness. High-speed driving is enabled thanks to this technology.

| Comments: I am writing his review as I just purchased these tires for my daughter. I chose these tire tires due to the exceptional performance in the recent snow & ice storm, the quietness and high ride qualities compared to the pole position 970 AS tires that I took off.

| Comments: I have never used snow tires before but everything I read said my Passat would need them and I'm glad I got them. I feel very confident driving on these tires in all conditions. There actually has been a lot of pure ice on the roads in the two months I have been driving on them. They are very quiet and it has been a pleasure to drive on these. I would definitely buy these again.

| Comments: My car is 100% better now in the snow. One inch of snow would stop me cold before I got these new tires and now I drove home with 8 inches of snow on the road at 4:00 in the morning before the plow trucks got going.
