michelin x-ice snow+ – a new generation of Nordic winter protection

The Michelin X-Ice Snow+ is a premium Nordic all-season tire launched in 2026, developed for particularly demanding winter conditions. The model combines excellent grip on ice and snow, effective braking, long service life and low rolling resistance. Compared to the previous generation X-Ice Snow tire, braking performance, durability and energy efficiency have been improved.

flex-ice 3.0 – better grip and braking

The new generation Michelin Flex-Ice 3.0 rubber compound helps maintain the tire's flexibility even at very low temperatures. This allows the tread to better adapt to slippery road surfaces and supports grip on ice, snow and cold asphalt.
The improved rubber compound improves braking performance in various winter conditions. Compared to its predecessor, the X-Ice Snow+ offers shorter braking distances on ice and snow, as well as on wet and dry roads.

sure handling on ice and deep snow

The Michelin X-Ice Snow+ uses a directional tread pattern optimized for winter conditions, with deep grooves and sipes that help achieve strong grip on snowy and icy roads.
The tread pattern supports traction when starting off, improves lateral grip on icy curves, and helps guide snow and slush away from the tire's contact patch.
The tire carries both the 3pmsf winter marking and the ice grip marking , which confirms compliance with special snow and ice grip requirements.

longer service life and consistent driving characteristics

One of the most important improvements of the X-Ice Snow+ is its increased wear resistance. In independent tests commissioned by Michelin, the new model achieved a predicted service life of over 40% longer than its predecessor.
The durable rubber compound and well-thought-out tread design help maintain the tire's performance over longer periods of use, providing better mileage potential and reducing the need to replace tires.

lower rolling resistance and quieter ride

Michelin has reduced the tire's energy losses, improving rolling resistance by approximately 5% compared to the previous generation. This helps reduce fuel consumption and supports the driving range of electric vehicles.
Piano acoustic tuning technology helps reduce rolling noise generated by the tread pattern, providing a quieter and more comfortable driving experience.

also suitable for electric and hybrid vehicles

The Michelin X-Ice Snow+ is designed for use on a variety of passenger cars and SUVs, including electric and hybrid vehicles. The tire's construction combines high winter grip, wear resistance and energy efficiency.

premium choice for harsh winter conditions

The Michelin X-Ice Snow+ is suitable for drivers who want a high level of driving safety and confident handling even in the most difficult winter conditions. The updated Flex-Ice 3.0 rubber compound, effective ice and snow grip and longer service life make it a modern solution for cold winters.
The Michelin X-Ice Snow+ combines Nordic winter grip, excellent durability and energy efficiency, providing confidence throughout the winter season.
