Michelin’s X-Ice Xi2 and Latitude X-Ice Xi2 tires now come with
a 40,000 mile treadwear warranty, marking the first time that
the company has provided such a warranty on winter tires in the
U.S.
“Our innovative designs and advanced tread compounds have
allowed us to offer industry-leading warranties, and now we’re
able to do the same in the winter tire category,” says category
manager Andrew Koury.
“Michelin strives to offer the best in tire performance; and
with this new warranty, vehicle owners can brave the snow, ice
and other winter conditions with additional comfort and
security,” he notes.
In addition to the treadwear limited warranty, the X-Ice Xi2
and Latitude X-Ice Xi2 are also covered under the material and
workmanship limited warranty.
The tires utilize advanced tread block technology – a
combination of multiple sipes and micro-pumps with a state-of-
the-art rubber silica-based rubber compound called FleX-Ice,
according to Koury. “This progressive, engineered combination
delivers optimized tractive grip and exceptional braking on
ice,” he says.
Additionally, the tires are equipped with Comfort Control
Technology, which uses computer-optimized design and precision
manufacturing to reduce vibrations and road noise, “resulting
in one of the most comfortable rides in the industry,” says
Koury.
