Here's what Tire Rack is showing (and other sites)

that link above sent me to autoguide.....I don't know why...

anyway, I can't find a single thing on that tire. both michelin's and tirerack's website don't list a X Terrain tire.
There is a cross terrain suv tire that looks kinda similar (this)...

Are you sure they are called x terrain, they share that same mountain symbol as the cross terrain suv (but have a slightly different tread pattern)?

edit: my tirerack link redirected to autoguide too.... well I changed the link...

It's a forum software glitch. Some Tirerack links will redirect to Autoguide. Sorry for any inconvenience, folks.

They are quite different...Please take a look at the outside sipes on mine as they are separated into "squares" and more pronounced. Mine look more like the LTX M/S tires (link below) but not quite. I wonder if they "morphed" the two tires.

Also, my last photos shows they are Cross Terrains M+S.

It's not unusual at all for different sizes of the same tire to have slightly altered tread designs. What you have looks like the regular Cross Terrain to me.

x2. I once noticed something similar to this years ago when the BFG Rugged Trail was on the Ford Explorers (previous gen). The center pattern was completely different from the Rugged Trails that came on the Tacoma. I looked it up once online and it showed different tread patterns for the various auto manufacturers using the same tire!
