1 New, at 10,000 km, and when worn to 4 mm and 2 mm tread depth, the MICHELIN© X-Ice© SNOW tire offers shorter snow and ice stopping distances on average than its predecessor, based on third-party snow braking test (between 35 km/h and 5 km/h) and ice braking test (between 30 km/h and 5 km/h), in December 2019 and January 2020: (1) on a Volkswagen© Golf 1.5 TSI comparing the MICHELIN© X-Ice© SNOW tire versus MICHELIN© X-ICE© Xi3 in tire size 205/55R16 94H XL, and (2) on a Volkswagen© Tiguan comparing the MICHELIN© X-Ice© SNOW SUV tire versus MICHELIN© Latitude© X-ICE© Xi2 in tire size 235/55R19 105H XL. 2 Based on third-party ice braking test on a Volkswagen© Tiguan (between 30 km/h and 5 km/h), in December 2019 and January 2020, comparing: (1) the MICHELIN© X-Ice© SNOW SUV tire versus, BRIDGESTONE© Blizzak DM-V2, CONTINENTAL© Viking Contact 7, NOKIAN© Hakkappeliitta R3 SUV, GOODYEAR© UltraGrip Ice WRT SUV and TOYO© Observe GSI5 in tire size 235/55R19 105H XL and (2) on a Volkswagen© Golf 1.5 TSI comparing the MICHELIN© X-Ice© SNOW tire versus BRIDGESTONE© Blizzak WS-90 and Blizzak Ice, CONTINENTAL© Viking Contact 7, NOKIAN© Hakkappeliitta R3, GOODYEAR© UltraGrip Ice 2 and PIRELLI© Ice-Zero FR in tire size 205/55R16 94H XL. All tires mechanically buffed, then 8,000 km performed in real usage in North Finland until worn to 4 mm tread depth before being tested. 3 Based on third-party ice braking test (between 30 km/h and 5 km/h) in December 2019 and January 2020, in a Volkswagen© Tiguan comparing the MICHELIN© X-Ice© SNOW SUV tire versus NOKIAN© Hakkappeliitta R3 SUV in tire size 235/55R19 105H XL. Tires mechanically buffed, then 8,000 km performed in real usage in North Finland, until worn to 4 mm tread depth before being tested. 4 Based on: (1) internal hydroplaning longitudinal acceleration test performed in France in March 2019, on a Volkswagen© Golf 7 comparing the MICHELIN© X-Ice© SNOW tire versus MICHELIN© X-ICE© Xi3 in tire size 205/55R16 94H XL and on: (2) internal hydroplaning curve test performed in Japan in February 2019, on an AUDI© A4, comparing the MICHELIN© X-Ice© SNOW tire versus MICHELIN© X-ICE© Xi3 in tire size 205/55R16 94H XL. 5 Based on third-party longevity tests, in North Finland between October 2019 and January 2020, on a Volkswagen© Golf 1.5 TSI comparing the MICHELIN© X-Ice© SNOW tire versus BRIDGESTONE© Blizzak WS-90, CONTINENTAL© Viking Contact 7, NOKIAN© Hakkappeliitta R3, GOODYEAR© UltraGrip Ice 2, Pirelli© Ice Zero FR in tire size 205/55R16 94H XL. 12,000 kilometres driven per winter is estimated from annual average kilometres driven in Canada per vehicle by Desrosiers Automotive Consultants. A winter season is defined as six months. 6 Based on ASTM F1046 standard guide for preparing artificially worn passenger and light truck tires for testing. The MICHELIN© X-Ice© SNOW and MICHELIN© X-Ice© SNOW SUV tires were buffed internally by Michelin, then 8,000 km performed in real usage in North Finland, by a third party, until worn to 4 mm tread depth and 3 mm tread depth. © 2020 Michelin North America (Canada) Inc.
