The Michelin X-ICE North 4 tyre has established itself as the leader in terms of braking on ice, whether it is brand new or has travelled 10,000 kilometres. It allows you to reduce your lap time by 3.2 seconds compared to competing tyres. It offers the perfect combination of driving comfort and the absence of rolling noise on non-snowy roads. On snow, it promises flawless performance during braking or acceleration phases.
Its tread has been specially optimized to allow the placement of a large number of studs in the center and on the shoulders of the tire. Up to 22 parallel lines can be made (compared to 10 lines on MICHELIN X-Ice North 3 tires). Mathematical algorithms determine the position of the studs to achieve the best grip and the best sound level.
Thanks to its new generation of studs and optimized tread pattern, the Michelin X-Ice North 4 tires ensure high mileage capacity and perfect longevity.
Regarding its stud technology, the MICHELIN X-Ice North 4 tires use steel studs. The design of the studs and the interaction between the studs and the tread pattern are optimized to maximize grip on snow within the framework of current regulations.

Its tread pattern, featuring a new V-shaped design, allows for quick and efficient evacuation of powder snow.
The quantity of its sipes extending to the base of the profile has been increased by 50% compared to its predecessor, the MICHELIN I-Ice North 3, in order to achieve exceptional performance regardless of winter conditions.
