Michelin Latitude X-Ice North 2+ tires

** Tire Michelin Latitude X-Ice North 2 + ** created using modern technologies and provides a shorter braking distance on snow, improved dynamics of acceleration, high level of grip on dry and wet handling and roadability.

Due to the double-layer composition rubber tread tires improves fixing spikes and provides a sure grip with obledenelym road. When warm weather tyre compound retains elasticity and allows spikes pressed down the protector when used on asphalt.

For the winter season 2015-2016 timeframe. the Michelin company introduces new šipovannuû Michelin Latitude X-Ice North 2 +, created for the Russian and CIS markets, as well as Scandinavian countries. Latitude X-Ice North 2 + is designed for operation in the harshest winter conditions and is intended to equip different types vsedorožnikov. Novelty has improved indicators for adhesion on ice and snow, while at the same time high coupling characteristics, both on dry and wet roads.

Vsedorožnikov range tires Latittude is an integral part of the product offer of the company Michelin in both summer and winter season. And it is no coincidence. Today the car market there is a steady growth in the share of vsedorožnikov segment in total sold cars.

The distinctive feature of ** Michelin Latitude X-Ice North 2 + ** is the use of two-layered composition rubber tread tires. The inner layer of the tread is made of termoaktivnoj rubber compound MICHELIN second generation ThermoActive Tread Compound 2.0, designed exclusively for use in these studded tires as the base, the internal framework of the tread. This unique tread compound increases the level of reliability of fastening studs and provides a more secure grip on obledenelym road. It can change its characteristics of hardness depending on temperature. So, when warm weather inner tyre compound is quite elastic, allowing the thorns pressed down the protector when used on asphalt.

At the same time improves grip on dry and wet roads at the expense of sliding effect "as ice skating. When the temperature drops the rigidity of tread termoaktivnoj progressively increases, spikes are getting very solid foundation that increases the power of the puncture of thorns and can effectively "bite" into the ice, providing the necessary grip during acceleration or braking, even at very low temperature.

The technology, which is responsible for reliable fixing bases spikes, as well as force puncture spikes on icy roads, was first applied to the tyre MICHELIN X-Ice North 3 and demonstrated excellent results. The new bus Latitude X-Ice North 2 + is an improved composition of proprietary rubber compound, which managed to increase traction on ice, regardless of its condition or temperature.

The outer layer of the tread of the new Michelin Latitude X-Ice North 2 + is made from an advanced rubber compound FLEX-ICE 2.0 c high silica content, previously successfully used in the latest generation of gamma X-Ice tires and X-Ice North.

Technology developed to reflect higher loads on the bus, which give large and heavy vehicles. Specially adapted to the structure of the tread rubber compound retains elasticity at low enough temperatures and stiffness at high temperatures, which ensures an optimum level of security for all types of winter roads. In addition, the technology FLEX-ICE also provides long life and excellent traction on wet roads.

Feature Michelin Latitude X-Ice North 2 + is a two-layer structure of the tread, the bottom layer which is made of termoaktivnoj rubber compound MICHELIN second-generation ThermoActive Tread Compound 2.0. Technology of forming a base or internal rubber layer, used new bus Latitude X-Ice North 2 +, called "Catamaran" because of the similarity of profile: now the tabs at the bottom of the tread located in place of studs that helped improve their fixation on 10%.

Proven tread pattern tyres MICHELIN Latitude X-Ice North 2 stayed in the novelty without change. Protector is the only point of contact with the road surface car. He provides stability, braking, handling and transfer of traction force. Therefore Michelin engineers maximize tight equipped with protector various catchy edges for grip in snow: a large number of independent ** blocks ** Numerous ** slats notches on the edges of the blocks in the shoulder areas ** Toothed drainage channels are particularly worth mentioning is that the pattern is presented in two versions (5-and 7-row structure): broader dimensions receive more blocks and culverts to optimise traction and flotation in the snow.

Double frame, used in tyre Michelin Latitude X-Ice North 2 + allows to achieve high resistance to damage the sidewall and tread, as well as improved manageability for large and heavy vehicles.

For the winter season of the year 2015 bus ** Latitude X-Ice North 2 + ** is offered in sizes 20, 2016 year range of tyres will be supplemented by a further 20 sizes from 16 to 21 inches. In 2015, the company Michelin adds sizes, executed on technology of Zero Pressure, suitable for equipping such vehicles as the BMW X 5 and x 6.
