The Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 is designed for intensive use during the coldest months of the year and is intended for use on powerful passenger cars.
It is a sporty tire with a symmetrical tread pattern featuring new technologies.
Its new tread compound, which incorporates a new technical polymer, offers a better grip on snowy, wet and dry roads.
Its new directional tread pattern with a central groove improves hydroplaning resistance.
The numerous sipes on the tread blocks provide a better grip on snowy and icy roads. The unique shape of the sipes reduces block deformation during high-speed driving, which positively impacts the vehicle's handling and stability on winter roads.
The compound used in the Pilot Alpin 5 incorporates silica and sunflower oil which improves handling and grip on wet roads and slush.
The Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 has a low rolling resistance, requiring minimal fuel consumption and long life.
The Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 is fitted on several manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche.
