The Oakville Beaver, W ednesday January 18, 2006 - 2 3 OAKVILLE Honda :___________ I i Michelin X-ice New sizes for tire line Robinson/Beintema Metrolaiid Wheels Now more drivers can achieve opti mal control on ice and snow This winter Michelin has added two new dimensions to the X-Ice tire line and ten more dimensions to the SUV version, Latitude X-Ice tire. With the addition of these new sizes, the Michelin X-Ice tire will now reach 93 per cent of the passenger car market while the Latitude X-Ice tire will be available to 67 per cent of SUV drivers across the coun try. "We are pleased to extend the suc cessful Michelin X-Ice tire line to more Canadian drivers," said Normand LatrEmouille, Winter Segment Marketing Manager for Michelin North America. "By combining innovative tread design with progressive techno logical features, we can offer enhanced performance to keep motorists safe on winter roads." The Michelin X-Ice and Latitude XIce tire line offers the latest in tire tech nology, including Adaptive Progressive Stiffness (APS), to deliver optimal trac tion. APS is a rubber technology, that helps deliver outstanding traction by providing the required flexibility at the tread surface contact. The unique rub ber compound progressively softens at the road's surface while remaining rigid near the tire belt, thus providing intense grip and superior handling. The tread remains soft as the tire continues to wear, allowing for optimal traction. The tread compound also fea tures the most advanced generation of silica compounding further adding to the X-Ice tire's ice and snow grip, and offering enhanced performance on wet surfaces as well as longer tread life. The Michelin X-Ice and Latitude XIce tread pattern is designed to meet the varied needs of winter drivers across Canada. Tread technology benefits include: · Longitudinal zig zag grooves for exceptional deep snow traction · Square contact patch for extra trac tion and control on ice and hard-packed snow · Michelin's new evolution Stress Equilibrium Casing for extended and even wear · Directional and Aggressive V-shape tread pattern for hydroplaning resist ance The Michelin X-Ice tire is now avail able in 41 sizes, ranging from 13 to ¥1inch rim diameters. Latitude X-Ice, developed specifically for SUVs, is now available in 20 sizes, ranging from 15 to 17-inch rim diameters. Winter, Bring it on! Drive a Honda RIDGELINE LX 4WD. HALF-TON PICKUP.
