The MICHELIN® X-Ice® Xi3™ tire stops up to 10% shorter on ice and lasts up to two times longer than leading competitors. A combination of 4 key features improves MICHELIN® X-Ice® Xi3™ overall winter performance even in some of the harshest winter conditions. Highlights Increased number of tread blocks provides 15% more biting edge and improves performance on ice and in snow. Micropumps absorb water from the surface and evacuate it by centrifugal force for improved tread contact with the road surface. Cross Z Sipes™. Sipes are tridimensional to improve rigidity , enable stable handling and improve traction on ice and in snow. The Flex-Ice™ compound. This full-silica compound maintains flexibility at lower temperatures, improving performance on ice and in snow. It also maintains firmness at moderate temperatures, improving wear and grip. ZP (Zero Pressure) tires - The maximum mileage warranty for ZP tires is 50,000 km. The side of the road is not a fun place. In fact, it can be dangerous. Thankfully, there’s run flat technology. Run flat tires allow you to drive for a limited distance and reduced speed after a puncture or other event has resulted in either a drop in tire inflation pressure or a complete loss of inflation pressure. For example, MICHELIN® Zero Pressure (ZP) tires provide run-flat technology that allows you to drive up to 50 miles at 50 mph with a flat tire. Never mix run flat tires with tires that do not have run flat technology (conventional tires) unless in an emergency situation on a limited, temporary basis. The conventional tire should then be replaced with a run flat tire as soon as possible. It is not recommended to mix different run flat technologies/products.

The new standard in SUV non-studded Northern winter tires More dynamic and reliable driving performance in winter Highly efficient braking in both snow & ice conditions Multi-A spuit system (spuit hole + slit) Spuit hole : Prevent slip on slush by absorbing water Slit : Advantage of snow grip by friction and grip force Aqua edge grooves Z-shape design prevents hydro-planing by pushing water out effectively. Spiral boosters Efficient structure to drain water and snow, to maximize ice braking & enhance acceleration. Z’ grip shoulder block The ‘Z’ grip shoulder block disperses pressure equally on the shoulders edges. Grip claw technology Improves snow traction by applying sharp 3D edge. Grip in step Prevents snow from accumulating while braking or accelerating on ice. Optimised pattern Optimised block width design improves handling performance by enhancing block stiffness. V-shape groove V-shaped tread design improves drainage performance, thus improving wet performance. Shoulder block & 3D sipe Extended shoulder blocks for SUVs and 3D sipes improve handling performance in winter driving.

Kumho Ecsta PS31 Designed to take any driver to the next level, the Ecsta PS31 proves that a perfect balance of high-speed stability, low road noise and safety can be achieved in a tire. SPECIAL FEATURES A solid center rib and stylish lateral grooves reinforce block stiffness and improve wet breaking. Wide lateral grooves maximize water displacement when cornering and prevent irregular wear due to the 0-10 degree angle range. Wide four-channel circumferential grooves improve hydroplaning resistance. 3D dimple design minimizes heat build-up on tread blocks, enhancing high-speed durability. Microgrooves with diagonal siping allow water to drain efficiently to avoid hydroplaning. The sidewall's racing-inspired checkered design communicates the tire's ultra-high performance capabilities. SAMPLE VEHICLES Audi A4; BMW 3 Series; Ford Mustang; Mini Cooper; Nissan 270 Z; Subaru BRZ

Vredestein Ultrac Satin The Vredestein Ultrac Satin is a summer tyre featuring a brand-new construction and compound. The focus during development was on safety and comfort. Superior handling and short braking distances are achieved through the use of a unique, traction-enhancing resin in the tread and Z-shaped sipes in the profile. The asymmetric profile and optimized footprint ensure excellent control when driving and a reliable steering response. Five highly energy-efficient compound improvements in the tread, tread base, sidewall, carcass and rim strip, as well as the optimised tyre geometry, reduce energy loss by 16%, providing a low rolling resistance (and therefore lower fuel consumption) without compromising the grip on a wet road. Features Traction-enhancing resin in the tread Asymmetric profile and advanced oval footprint Optimised tyre geometry, 5 highly energy-efficient compound improvements Profile designed by Giugiaro Benefits Superior handling and short braking distances on wet surfaces Optimal control and reliable steering response Low rolling resistance (B label) for reduced fuel consumption Unique design and sporty look
