Michelin tires Canada

Michelin was formed in 1889 in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and was named after its founders, Edouard and Andre Michelin.
Michelin recognizes that mobility is fundamental for human growth and works tirelessly to improve transportation efficiency and environmental friendliness. MICHELIN Total Performance, their innovation DNA, strives to constantly and consistently improve every Michelin tire's contribution to safety, longevity, fuel savings, comfort, and driving pleasure, ensuring Michelin customers never have to choose between any of these seemingly contradictory performances.

Michelin competes in the world's premier open-racing series to test and develop its innovations on a wide range of vehicles. Michelin employs its motorsports programs to learn everything it can about tires under difficult service circumstances, as evidenced by 17 straight overall race wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Michelin is one of the world's most prestigious brands. There, you may get high-quality things that come with excellent service. And, in response to the global market, Michelin has produced tires for every season, particularly winter, when driving conditions are hazardous.

The winter tire category is divided into two primary series: X-Ice Tires and Alpin Winter Tires. In particular, the X-Ice Tires series is intended for everyday usage, with the creation of the X-Ice Xi2, X-Ice Xi3, and X-Ice Snow.

Michelin manufactures tires for airplanes, bicycles/motorcycles, earthmovers, farm equipment, and trucks, in addition to tires for automobiles, crossovers, sport utility vehicles, and light trucks offered through Tire Rack.

Top Michelin Winter Tires

Michelin X-ICE SNOW

The Michelin X-Ice SNOW Studless Ice & Snow winter tire is designed for drivers of coupes, sedans, minivans, and crossovers who want confidence in winter's multiple changing road conditions throughout the tire's life. The X-Ice SNOW is designed to provide comforting wintertime traction and stability on clear, cold winter roads, deep, heavy snow, or any ice condition in between.

The X-Ice SNOW's FleX-Ice 2.0 compound employs inclusion technology, which provides micro-roughness on the tread surface, aiding in grip in both snow and ice. The composition also has a high silica component, which assures the tire's flexibility even in harsh temperatures. This improved compound is molded into a continuous V-Shape, directed tread pattern with enhanced groove widths over its predecessor, developed to improve hydroplaning and slush performance while also increasing the snow-to-snow grip required for loose situations.
The tread elements of the X-Ice SNOW have two types of full-depth sipes with complimentary traction effects. Notched sipes provide many biting edges that help improve grip in poor circumstances, and varied thickness sipes boost traction even more while supporting the tread elements to maintain an efficient contact patch for control on packed snow and clear roads.

Michelin X-ICE XI3

The Michelin X-Ice Xi3 is a third-generation Studless Ice & Snow winter tire designed for drivers of coupes, sedans, family vans, and small crossover cars searching for ice and snow grip as well as predictable handling in cold, dry, and wet weather conditions. Meeting Michelin's Green X* rolling resistance standard verifies the X-Ice Xi3's contribution to lowering vehicle fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The X-Ice Xi3 is built to withstand ice and snow while providing long-lasting winter performance.

X-Ice Xi3 Michelin Michelin's FleX-Ice silica-based winter tread rubber compound (which provides firmness at higher temperatures for wet and dry road stability while remaining flexible at lower temperatures to improve packed snow and ice traction) is molded into a directional tread design that aids in the evacuation of water and slush to reduce hydroplaning. To provide grip on ice and snow-covered roadways, independent shoulder and intermediate tread blocks use a combination of several micro-pumps and variable angle Cross Z Sipes.

Furthermore, the Cross Z Sipes improve tread and shoulder block stability, resulting in lateral and longitudinal stiffness that improves treadwear and driving precision on both dry and wet conditions. To improve the tire profile while increasing high-speed capabilities, the internal structure of the tire features twin steel belts strengthened by spirally wound nylon. Michelin X-Ice Xi3 winter / snow tires are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) mark and meet the industry's severe snow service criteria.

Michelin Pilot Aplin PA4 N-SPEC

The Pilot Alpin PA4 N-Spec is Michelin's Performance Winter / Snow tire designed to fulfill the needs of Porsche fans who drive their sports cars on snow-covered roads all year. Pilot Alpin PA4 N-Spec tires are designed to deliver safe driving in cold, wet, and icy weather year after year, in addition to using eco-friendly production methods and improving vehicle fuel economy through reduced rolling resistance, as recognized by Michelin's Green X* logo.

The Pilot Alpin PA4 N-Spec tires have a complete silica-based, sunflower oil-enriched Helio Compound+ tread rubber that remains more flexible in cold weather for enhanced traction. To improve acceleration, braking, and handling, this compound is molded into a directional tread design with a deeply grooved tread pattern, Michelin's high-density Stabiligrip 3D sipe technology, and wrap-around shoulder designs.

The internal structure of the tire incorporates twin steel belts strengthened by Michelin's FAZ technology, which places spirally coiled filaments of polyester cord under the tread to provide a stable feel, confident handling, and high-speed performance while maintaining ride comfort.

Michelin Pilot Alpin 5

The Pilot Alpin 5 is Michelin's Performance Winter / Snow tire designed to fulfill the needs of high-performance sedan, coupe, and sports car enthusiasts who don't want wintry weather to keep them from enjoying their vehicles all year.

A winter-specific compound is molded into a highly siped, directional tread pattern with large shoulder blocks and a wide, central groove to combine stability and cornering grip on dry roads with hydroplaning resistance and traction in slush, snow, and ice. A unique undertread reduces energy dissipation, lowering rolling resistance and improving fuel efficiency, while the two-ply, polyester casing strikes a compromise between comfort and durability. Two high-strength steel belts that support the tread are reinforced with a polyamide cap ply to improve handling response and enhance durability.

Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4

The Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 Performance Winter / Snow tire is designed to fulfill the needs of enthusiasts who may encounter snow-covered roads when driving their extremely high performance sports cars, sedans, or coupes in freezing weather, snow, and ice. Pilot Alpin PA4 tires are designed to provide safe driving in cold, wet, and icy weather year after year, in addition to using eco-friendly production methods and improving vehicle fuel economy through reduced rolling resistance, as shown by Michelin's Green X* logo.

Pilot Alpin PA4 tires include a complete silica-based, sunflower oil-enriched Helio Compound+ tread rubber that retains flexibility in cold temperatures for improved traction. To improve acceleration, braking, and handling, this compound is molded into an asymmetric tread design with a deeply grooved tread pattern, Michelin's high-density Stabiligrip 3D sipe technology, and wrap-around shoulder designs.

The internal structure of the tire incorporates twin steel belts strengthened by Michelin's FAZ technology, which places spirally coiled filaments of polyester cord under the tread to provide a stable feel, confident handling, and high-speed performance while maintaining ride comfort.

Conclusion

Winter tires, sometimes known as snow tires, are intended to grip and move safely in snow, ice, and other tough winter conditions. They're made using a variety of rubber compounds to ensure optimal flexibility even in subzero temperatures.
