Michelin Alpin 5: Unmatched Winter Safety and Performance

Overview

Discover the Michelin Alpin 5, a premium winter tire designed to deliver exceptional safety and performance under all winter conditions. Engineered with innovative technologies, this tire excels in dry and wet braking as well as on snow, ensuring you remain in control no matter the weather.

Advanced Technology for Optimal Winter Performance

The Michelin Alpin 5 features a newly optimized tread design that enhances its winter capabilities. The directional, arrow-shaped tread pattern and specially designed tread blocks with a high negative ratio create a gear-like effect, allowing the tire to bite into snow and resist aquaplaning. The reoriented lateral channels effectively channel water away, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning.

Enhanced Traction with Claw Effect

The tire's sipes act like thousands of tiny claws, gripping the road surface to provide superior traction on snow. With 12% more tread pattern and 16% more sipes compared to its predecessor, the Michelin Alpin 5 ensures increased traction and stability. The negative tread ratio has also been increased by 17%, further enhancing its grip on snowy surfaces.

Improved Steering Precision with Contact Patch Effect

Thanks to 'StabiliGrip' technology, the Michelin Alpin 5 offers a highly precise steering response. The larger contact patch ensures better road adherence, while the specially designed tread patterns allow the sipes to interlock within the tread blocks, maintaining stability and high steering precision despite the sipes' cuts.

Innovative Rubber Compound for All-Weather Performance

The Michelin Alpin 5 boasts an advanced rubber compound that performs exceptionally well on dry, wet, and snowy roads. The increased silica content enhances grip on cold, wet surfaces. For the first time in a winter tire range, Michelin has implemented 'Tread Compound Technology' with functional elastomers, creating a homogeneous rubber mix with higher silica content for better grip without compromising energy efficiency. The fourth-generation 'Helio Compound Technology' incorporates sunflower oil, optimizing the tire's performance at low temperatures.

Conclusion

The Michelin Alpin 5 is your reliable partner for winter driving, offering unmatched safety, traction, and precision. Its state-of-the-art technologies ensure you can tackle any winter road condition with confidence and ease. Choose the Michelin Alpin 5 for a superior winter driving experience.
