Comments about X-Ice:

We live in the Black Hills of SD and thus have to contend with a lot of snow/ice during most winters. I wanted a winter tire that gives excellent traction on snow covered icy roads yet has good dry condition characteristics. These Michelin X-Ice tires are exactly what my wife needed on her car.

Comments about X-Ice:

Oddly enough, I can't wait for winter! I purchased X-icers almost 3 yrs ago for my '98 Toyota Camry XLE , and I find they provide the best traction and are the most comfortable ride; I hate to take them off in the spring! My next summer tire purchase will be Michelins, should my car last that long given it's age!
Highly recommend the X-icers.

Comments about X-Ice:

Expect more during the winter as a snow tire, paid good money for these tires , disappointed, wish u still had the first original weatherwise tires on the market, drove with them in the winter for 5 yrs. they had better grip and breaking. They didn't hydroplane. I won't put Xice back on car next year.

Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to winter tires.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local Michelin tire dealer for pricing near you.

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

XL = Extra Load

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

Q-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100
Inflation Increase (psi) 0
Load Capacity (% of max.) 100

T-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118
Inflation Increase (psi) 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0
