Ratings, dimensions, and construction details for the Michelin X LT A/S in size 215/85R16.

Features & benefits

Deep zig-zag siping: Michelin utilized deep zig-zag pattern sipes on each tread block to give you better traction on wet roads and light snow. The sipes go back full-depth, which means they stay functional throughout the tread life of the tire.
Innovative Evertread™ compound: With the innovative tread compound that spreads to the final 2/32″ of tread, Michelin X LT A/S keeps its traction properties throughout the tire's life. Moreover, the compound material doesn't get too hard due to excessive wear, as the acceleration, braking, and cornering forces evenly distribute to the tread. So, it reduces rolling resistance and lasts longer while the tire stays flexible in winter throughout its tread life.
