MICHELIN X-ICE XI3 - 175/70R14 - 88T 

The X-Ice Xi3 is Michelin's third-generation Studless Ice & Snow winter tire developed for the drivers of coupes, sedans, family vans and small crossover vehicles that are looking for ice and snow traction along with predictable handling in cold, dry and wet wintry conditions. Meeting Michelin's Green X standard* for low rolling resistance confirms the X-Ice Xi3's contribution to reducing vehicle fuel consumption and emissions of CO2 gases. The X-Ice Xi3 is designed to take on ice and snow while it provides lasting winter performance.

FEATURES:

Michelin X-Ice Xi3Michelin's FleX-Ice silica-based winter tread rubber compound (offers firmness at higher temperatures for wet and dry road stability while it remains flexible at lower temperatures to enhance packed snow and ice traction) is molded into a directional tread design that helps evacuate water and slush to improve hydroplaning resistance. Independent shoulder and intermediate tread blocks feature a combination of multiple micro-pumps and variable angle Cross Z Sipes to deliver traction on ice- and snow-covered roads. Additionally, the Cross Z Sipes increase tread and shoulder block stability to provide the lateral and longitudinal stiffness that enhances treadwear and driving precision on dry and wet roads.

SPECIFICATIONS:

The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by a spirally wound nylon to optimize the tire profile while enhancing high-speed capability. Michelin X-Ice Xi3 winter / snow tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

Note: Snow platform indicators (the equivalent of "snow wear bars") are molded into the X-Ice Xi3's tread grooves to inform the driver when ice and snow traction will be reduced as the tire's tread reaches the point where the remaining tread depth becomes less effective in deep snow.

Install X-Ice Xi3 tires in sets of four only.

Due to the traction capabilities of the X-Ice Xi3, Michelin recommends using X-Ice Xi3 tires in sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics and tire performance.

Due to differences in performance, X-Ice Xi3 tires cannot be mixed on the same vehicle with earlier X-Ice tires.

WARRANTY - INSURANCE - FINANCE - TERMS OF PAYMENT

• WARRANTY: All the products marketed by us are new without use and therefore have the Original Manufacturer's Warranty. Usually the Warranty is 5 years, counted from the date of the purchase invoice. That is why it is important that it be kept together with the other documents of the vehicle.
• INSURANCE: It is very important that you have good insurance coverage. The reality is that achieving an adequate minimization of risks makes it possible to live with greater peace of mind. Finding a good insurance advisor also allows you not to double the costs of a policy if those same events are covered by an existing one. This requires specific professional and technical knowledge to analyze the scope of each insurance contract. Find the ideal insurance for your vehicle, property, company or commercial activity. We include Civil Liability, Fire, Home, All Risk, Frost and Hail insurance, etc. In addition and depending on the geographical area in which you are, we offer insurance against tire breakage and punctures. Remember that some policies include coverage for theft of tires, and therefore the Insurance Company should cover all replacement costs.
• FINANCE: In many purchasing decisions, the value of the good to be acquired has greater weight. But what really needs to be analyzed well in the automotive world is the cost per kilometer. We have seen that some customers buy tires out of range (load index and speed) because they are cheaper. That is a mistake, which pays off in the long run, because tires wear out faster and therefore have to be replaced sooner. We have also seen that they choose to buy "bargain" tires that are not suitable for normal use. Example: snow tires in regions with very low meteorological probability. This prematurely wears out the tire when working under inappropriate temperature ranges. Conclusion: sometimes cheap ends up being expensive.
• PAYMENTS: Once the right tire has been chosen, which minimizes the cost per kilometer, what remains is to define the terms and the form of payment. At this point you can always opt for cash payments, credit cards, bank transfers and / or cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Any of these options will be available according to the country, the market and the season of the year.
