What GREEN-Max Winter Ice I-15 Is Built For
GREEN-Max Winter Ice I-15 is a directional winter tyre designed for passenger cars and light trucks operating in snow and ice conditions. The tread pattern is engineered for directional stability and snow and mud evacuation, with a focus on maintaining grip and handling during winter driving. It is available in 16 sizes ranging from 175/65R14 XL to 235/45R17 XL, with load indices from 86 to 102 and speed symbol T. The tread depth is 8.7 mm across all sizes, providing consistent performance through the wear life. Standard rim widths range from 5J to 8J, and all sizes are inflated to 290 kPa at standard load.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Direction tread pattern design providing excellent handling performance
- Directional grooves to help evacuate snow and mud
Key Benefits
- Directional tread pattern improves handling and directional stability in snow and ice
- Grooves designed to evacuate snow and mud, reducing the risk of hydroplaning

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Non-directional winter tyres
The directional pattern improves handling and snow evacuation, reducing the risk of hydroplaning on packed snow
Compared With Tyres with lower tread depth
8.7 mm depth provides longer wear life and better grip in deep snow compared to tyres with 6–7 mm depth
Compared With Tyres without XL designation
XL construction supports higher load capacity, suitable for light trucks and heavier passenger vehicles
Use Guide
- Match the load index and rim width to the vehicle's original specification, not to the highest available
- Inflate to 290 kPa at standard load for all sizes; do not exceed the maximum pressure listed in the size table
- Rotate tyres before irregular wear sets in, especially on vehicles with uneven load distribution
- Inspect tread grooves after winter use to ensure no snow or mud is trapped, which can affect performance
- Replace tyres when tread depth reaches 4 mm to maintain winter performance and safety
GREEN-Max Winter Ice I-15 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of these tyres typically fills by weight rather than volume, so the practical minimum is one container. Mixed loads across sizes and patterns are accepted.
What is the lead time?
It depends on whether the size is in stock at the plant or needs to be produced. We confirm current availability with the plant at the time of quotation.
Which sizes are available?
16 sizes: 175/65R14 XL, 185/60R15 XL, 185/65R15 XL, 195/55R16 XL, 195/65R15 XL, 205/50R17 XL, 205/55R16 XL, 205/60R16 XL, 215/55R16 XL, 215/60R16 XL, 215/65R16 XL, 225/45R17 XL, 225/50R17 XL, 225/55R16 XL, 225/55R17 XL, 235/45R17 XL. Full data is in the size table.
Is this tyre legal for winter use?
It carries the required markings for winter use in most markets. Confirm your destination country’s requirements before ordering.
Can you supply DOT or ECE marked tyres?
Marking requirements vary by destination. Tell us your import market and we confirm what marking the plant can supply on that size.
What warranty do you give?
One year against manufacturing defect on all tyres we supply, with claims handled directly by us. Cargo transportation insurance is provided on the shipment.
Can you ship a mixed container with other patterns?
Yes. Most of our customers load one container across several patterns and sizes, which is the main reason to buy through us rather than from a single plant.
