MICHELIN Alpin 7 Winter Road Tyre

- The MICHELIN Alpin 7 tyre, built for safety and confidence throughout the winter season
- New tread design for handling on snowy and wet winter roads
- Better braking[1] and traction[2] on snow covered roads
- Designed for high longevity
- Reduced energy consumption[3][4]

Drive with confidence during the winter with MICHELIN Alpin 7. For snow braking[1] and acceleration[2] in wintery conditions.

You can feel confident in MICHELIN Alpin 7 for winter safety, the next generation tyre for snowy and cold conditions. New directional tread design combines more sipes for better control on snow covered roads with an adapted pattern design to efficiently evacuate water[5]. Approved for snow, this 3PMSF certified tyre helps provide mobility even in winter conditions.

Delivering improved snow performance[2][6], the MICHELIN Alpin 7 outperforms the previous generation MICHELIN winter tyre by 6% in snow braking[1], while maintaining high levels of traction[2]. Compound and pattern optimisation in a new tread benefits the tyre with more sipes (grooves) than its predecessor, ensuring control when accelerating in snow.

Feel confident driving winter after winter - the MICHELIN Alpin 7 is designed for high longevity. It features a Multi-Layer Compound combined with an under tread compound and Evolving Tread Pattern, providing grooves that emerge and widen as the tyre wears, helping maintain performance.

Supporting vehicle efficiency, MICHELIN Alpin 7 offers lower consumption[3] thanks to a 9% improvement on its predecessor in rolling resistance(4). This results in reduced energy consumption[3] in thermic (petrol and petrol -hybrid) and electric vehicles.

Michelin is committed to reducing its environmental footprint and improving the energy performance of its tyres. Michelin not only aims to reduce the impact of tyres on fuel consumption, but also to increase the autonomy of electric vehicles. The reduction of CO2 emissions related to the use of its products is an integral part of the Michelin strategy, while also striving to reduce the number of tyres needed by its customers to drive the same number of miles.
Michelin helps collect used tyres in many countries in order to recycle them. The manufacturer invests in R&D to find innovative and more efficient recovery solutions. End-of-life MICHELIN tyres find their way into new products, for instance roads or sources of energy such as district heating.

(1) - snow braking - Tests conducted by UTAC, on Michelin's request in North Finland (Mellatracks), in December 2023, on dimension 205/55 R16 91H on VW Golf 8. Based on Snow braking tests with ABS (between 30 and 10 kph), comparing MICHELIN Alpin 7 (100%) versus MICHELIN Alpin 6 tyre (93.6%), performed on a new tyre.

(2) - snow acceleration - Tests conducted by UTAC, on Michelin's request in North Finland (Mellatracks), in December 2023, on dimension 205/55 R16 91H on VW Golf 8. Based on Snow acceleration tests (between 5 and 30 kph), comparing MICHELIN Alpin 7 (100%) versus MICHELIN Alpin 6 tyre (98.5%), performed on a new tyre.

(3) - energy consumption - Energy consumption means petrol for thermic and hybrid vehicles, electricity for electric vehicles.

(4) - Rolling resistance - Tests conducted on machine by UTAC CERAM, Linas-Monthlery, France, on Michelin's request, January 2024, on dimension 205/55 R16 91T, comparing MICHELIN Alpin 7 (7.444kg/t) versus MICHELIN Alpin 6 (8.238kg/t).

(5) - wet grip - New and Worn, on 205/55 R16 91H MICHELIN Alpin 7, is above the R117 European regulation wet grip threshold.

(6) - safety and mobility - MICHELIN Alpin 7 is approved for use in snow conditions (with 3PMSF marking). To receive the 3PMSF marking, tyres must meet a minimum level of safety and mobility performance on snow.

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes

The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.

Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.

The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.

With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.

Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.

Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

Michelin – we take you further.

The vision of our founders, Edouard and André Michelin, has guided the development of the MICHELIN brand for more than 125 years: making driving as simple, safe, and comfortable as possible – first with innovative tires and wheels, followed by road maps, travel guides, and contributions toward improving traffic infrastructure. Along with this comes a strong engagement with the environment, as modern mobility must be sustainable and not detrimental to the environment.

Each year the Michelin Group produces more than 178 million tires in 68 production facilities in 17 countries, and it operates sales networks in more than 170 countries. The product offerings are many: from bicycle, passenger car, truck, motorcycle, and tractor tires, to tires for 5-ton earth- moving machines. Michelin employs 111,700 people worldwide and owns one of the oldest, most famous trademarks in the world – the legendary Michelin Man.

Targeted development: MICHELIN Total Performance

In the development of new products, Michelin faithfully pursues the concept of "MICHELIN Total Performance", backed by the rigorous standard of always bringing together a number of performance characteristics into a tire, to achieve optimal results. We follow this philosophy not only in the development of our standard products, but also in motorsports. Numerous technical innovations help to relieve burdens on the environment, drivers, and businesses. Hidden out of sight in tire casings, tread designs, and rubber compounds, throughout their lives MICHELIN tires show their full potential: they offer excellent grip, long life, and reduced fuel consumption thanks to their low rolling resistance.

To better understand the conditions which tires are subjected to in everyday use, in the summer of 2014 Michelin began a unique research project – the Road Usage Lab. Vehicles from 3,000 drivers in Europe were equipped with special measurement devices to record data about the tires' use. These valuable findings are being employed in the development of future tire models, making them better suited to the needs of real drivers.
