Michelin 23499 X-Ice Snow SUV 285/40R21 109H XL Winter Tire

The Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV is a studless winter tire engineered specifically for SUVs and light trucks, delivering confident traction on snow, ice, slush, and wet winter roads. Sized at 285/40R21 with a 109H XL service description, it is built to meet the demands of modern large-platform SUVs without compromising winter safety or long-term wear life.

Key Features:

• Next-Generation V-Shaped Tread Design: An aggressive tread pattern with increased void ratio promotes efficient evacuation of snow, slush, and water, reducing hydroplaning risk and improving wet winter performance.
• Flex-Ice 2.0 Tread Compound: A proprietary full-silica compound that stays pliable in severely cold temperatures to maximize contact patch grip on ice and packed snow, while remaining firm in moderate conditions for responsive handling.
• Two Types of Full-Depth 3D Interlocking Sipes: Variable-thickness shoulder sipes and notched interior sipes interlock to stabilize tread blocks, create a pronounced claw effect on snow and ice, and maintain biting edges throughout the tire's usable life down to 2/32 in. of tread depth.
• Michelin EverWinterGrip Technology: A rigid polymer-based rubber inclusion compound generates micro-roughness on the tread surface for enhanced traction on both snow and ice, season after season — delivering excellent ice braking performance even after three winters of use.
• Long Wear Life: Optimized tread block rigidity and road contact geometry help this tire outlast the average leading competitor tire by up to one additional winter season.
• 40,000-Mile Tread Life Warranty: Michelin backs the X-Ice Snow SUV with a 40,000-mile warranty across all sizes.
• XL (Extra Load) Rated: Load index 109 with XL load range supports the higher corner weights typical of large SUVs and crossovers.
• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) Rated: Meets severe snow service requirements for confident winter use.

The Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV in size 285/40R21 replaces the Latitude X-Ice Xi2 line and is available in black sidewall (BSW) finish. It is the ideal winter tire upgrade for performance-oriented SUVs requiring a large-diameter fitment without sacrificing safety or longevity in harsh winter conditions.
